There’s no money in poetry, but then there’s no poetry in money, either.

There's no money in poetry, but there's no poetry in money, either.

There is no money in poetry, but then there is no poetry in money.

If there's no money in poetry, neither is there poetry in money

There’s no money in poetry, but then there’s no poetry in money either.” - Robert Graves

Money is everywhere but so is poetry. What we lack are the poets.

There is no true poetry unconcious inspiration.

He who has no poetry in himself will find poetry in nothing.

There is no poetry where there are no mistakes.

In those days, there was no money to buy books.

Most years I owe no money and I have no money. Every university pays my way to the next town. That’s about all. No poet has ever made any money out of having his poetry published, and no poet ever will. If the fee is two hundred dollars, it is one hundred dollars for coming to town and one hundred for leaving inside of twenty-four hours. There has been no poetry in the history of the world that has made money for the poet. The New Poetry Movement began when Abel made a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain; but the sacrifice of Abel was not intended as a money-making idea. On the last great day, when Gabriel blows his trumpet, even if he blows it in sonnets, he will not do it for the money that is in it. If he does do it for the cash he will not be Gabriel and it will not be the last great day. It will be a second-rate Hollywood movie of the last great day, and business will continue as usual.

It cannot be emphasized too strongly that art, as such, does not "pay," to use an American expression – at least, not in the beginning – and that the art that has to pay its own way is apt to become vitiated and cheap.

You cannot measure IQ through poetry.

There is no such thing as a cheerful poem [...] Happiness writes in water, not ink.
