What about Poetry ?
To have great poets, there must be great audiences too.

- William Shakespeare
Be not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.
- William Shakespeare

- T. S. Eliot
Poetry is nearer to vital truth than history.
- Plato
Poetry is the rhythmical creation of beauty in words.
- Edgar Allan Poe
Poetry is the opening and closing of a door, leaving those who look through to guess about what is seen during the moment.
- Carl Sandburg
