Here are some famous quotes by  Robert Graves.

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

[MysteRy]

A perfect poem is impossible. Once it has been written the world would end.

[MysteRy]

Marriage like money is still with us; and like money progressively devalued.

[MysteRy]

I don't really feel my poems are mine at all. I didn't create them out of nothing. I owe them to my relations with other people.

[MysteRy]

There should be two main objectives in ordinary prose writing: to convey a message and to include in it nothing that will distract the reader's attention or check his habitual pace of reading - he should feel that he is seated at ease in a taxi not riding a temperamental horse through traffic.
