Letter "P" » Philip Larkin Quotes
«You can't put off being young until you retire.»
Author: Philip Larkin
(Poet)
«They fuck you up, your mum and dad. / They may not mean to, but they do. / They fill you with the faults they had / And add some extra, just for you.»
«Life has a practice of living you, if you don't live it.»
Author: Philip Larkin
(Poet)

«Nothing, like something, happens anywhere.»
Author: Philip Larkin
(Poet)
«In everyone there sleeps / A sense of life lived according to love. / To some it means the difference they could make / By loving others, but across most it sweeps / As all they might have done had they been loved. / That nothing cures.»
«I can't understand these chaps who go round American universities explaining how they write poems: It's like going round explaining how you sleep with your wife.»
«Deprivation is for me what daffodils were for Wordsworth.»
«Above all, though, children are linked to adults by the simple fact that they are in process of turning into them. For this they may be forgiven much. Children are bound to be inferior to adults, or there is no incentive to grow up.»
«Man hands on misery to man. It deepens like a coastal shelf. Get out as early as you can, and don't have any kids yourself.»
