Quote by Robert Morgan

I don't think poetry is something that can be taught. We can encourage young writers, but what you can't teach them is the very essence of poetry.

Summary

This quote suggests that while individuals can be nurtured and guided on their journey as poets, the core essence of poetry cannot be taught or acquired through instruction alone. It implies that genuine poetic expression comes from within, and no amount of teaching can fully capture or replicate its essence. While encouragement and guidance may be valuable tools in developing one's skills, the heart and soul of poetry ultimately stem from an individual's innate creativity and unique perspective.

Real good breeding, as the people have it here, is one of the finest things now going in the world. The careful avoidance of all discussion, the swift hopping from topic to topic, does not agree with me; but the graceful style they do it with is beyond that of minuets!

Think of something useless, and that's probably what I'll be doing. Listen, Virginia, we need to love the useless. We need to raise pigeons without a thought of eating them, plant rose bushes without expecting to pick roses, write without aiming at publication. We need to do things without expecting benefits in return. The shortest distance between two points may be a straight line, but it's in the curving paths that the best things are found. . . . We must love the useless, because there is beauty in uselessness.

For wide swaths of training and education there are valuable spillovers which mean that the private sector needs support from the government. That is why I have been so determined to protect and grow apprenticeships and put higher education on a sustainable footing.
