About This Quote

The poet is a very misunderstood figure. He is often ridiculed for being a romantic dreamer and a whiner at the same time. However, these two qualities are just a part of what makes him a poet. A poet is someone who sees things deeply, who feels deeply and who inspires people to do the same.

The lunatic, religious man and lover all have their place in life as well. They all help us see the world from different angles and make us live life to the fullest.
