Quote by Joseph Joubert

You will find poetry nowhere unless you bring some of it with you.

You will find poetry nowhere unless you bring some of it wit

Summary

This quote, attributed to Joseph Joubert, suggests that the appreciation and experience of poetry is not limited to physical locations or external sources. Instead, it emphasizes that the ability to perceive and appreciate the beauty and depth of poetry relies on one's own willingness to engage with it. Poetry cannot be found or appreciated unless one is open to encountering it, bringing their own curiosity, sensitivity, and receptiveness to the experience. In other words, the presence of poetry lies within the individual, not in the external world.

But you also hope to give them something to chew on or maybe some insight into the human existence, you hope a little bit. Not to sound too lofty.

More than anything else, my mother wanted to be an actress - a famous actress - which in the 1950s was all about being young, sexy, and available. She was all that, and more. She had big blue eyes, alabaster skin, a heart-shaped face, a beautiful figure. She was just a knockout.
