Any American who is prepared to run for president should automatically by definition be disqualified from ever doing so.

I think that one possible definition of our modern culture is that it is one in which nine-tenths of our intellectuals can't read any poetry.

My old teacher's definition of poetry is an attempt to understand.

Poetry almost by definition calls attention to its language and form.

I wish our clever young poets would remember my homely definitions of prose and poetry that is prose = words in their best order - poetry = the best words in the best order.

A definition of poetry can only determine what poetry should be and not what poetry actually was and is otherwise the most concise formula would be: Poetry is that which at some time and some place was thus named.

It's bad poetry executed by people that can't sing. That's my definition of Rap.

Poets are soldiers that liberate words from the steadfast possession of definition.

Crabbed and obscure definitions are of no use beyond a narrow circle of students of whom probably every one has a pet one of his own.

We must think differently look at things in a different way. Peace requires a world of new concepts new definitions.

Peace is not the product of a victory or a command. It has no finishing line no final deadline no fixed definition of achievement. Peace is a never-ending process the work of many decisions.

Retaliation is related to nature and instinct not to law. Law by definition cannot obey the same rules as nature.

There are probably several hundred thousand if we narrow the definition to include only those who in their search for money and power are ruthless and deceitful.

I don't think feminism as I understand the definition implies the rejection of maternal values nurturing children caring about the men in your life. That is just nonsense to me.

Let me be clear. I support the definition of marriage as a union between a man and a woman.

The definition of marriage cannot be disputed. It's right there in black and white and it's been the same since the start of Wikipedia.

Forty-five States as the gentleman just said have determined by people that were elected by the people of that State that marriage is the definition of one man and one woman.
