Letter "S" » Stevie Smith Quotes

Author: Stevie Smith
«I may be smelly and I may be old, Rough in my pebbles, reedy in my pools, But where my fish float by I bless their swimming, And I like the people to bathe in me especially women.»
Author: Stevie Smith
«Bad women poets are better characters, they seldom... get drunk... go to prison... shoot the pianist. Their faults are soul fullness and banality. They like to commune (who does not) with the deity, nature, and themselves, but their words do not quite carry the traffic... some bad men poets can persuade people... that tricks and shocks are a substitute for talent... good poets of either sex are above these quarrels.»
Author: Stevie Smith

Author: Stevie Smith

Author: Stevie Smith
«Nobody heard him, the dead man, But still he lay moaning. I was much further out than you thought, and not waving but drowning. I was much too far out all my life, And not waving but drowning.»
Author: Stevie Smith
«I wish I had something exciting to tell you, but if I won $140,000, my share would be 70 (thousand). That's about what I'm in the hole, so that would bring me back even.»
Author: Stevie Smith
«Not Waving but Drowning.»
Author: Stevie Smith
