Famous R.M. Engelhardt Quotes

“Sometimes it’s great, and sometimes it’s shit. These are the things all the great philosophers just won’t tell you flat out about life. You keep moving, keep living, keep breathing And you keep writing-creating because that’s what you do And that’s who you are. There are no magical voices to guide You except your own. Make it count. ~ R.M. ENGELHARDT”

“It deeply saddens & disturbs me when I start to see poetry open mics only open to academics & students rather than a poetry mic that is open to the public, welcomes all & everyone, human beings, people of all ages to read their work. It smacks of a bizarre "primitive form of elitism" let alone it degrades the human spirit and sends the false message to kids that to be a professional writer or poet that you have to attend an over-priced college and have some sort of degree. That's like telling a punk rock musician that in order to join or form a band he needs a degree from Julliard. What completely ridiculous & arrogant nonsense. POETRY is for EVERYONE. As it should be.”

“In my time on earth I've seen death, cruelty & greed among men. Petty ideals, the belligerent & small. The false worshippers and the scum of the earth bottom feeders. Racists, thieves and even murder. But nothing upon this earth makes me realize that mankind is an evil thing more than the mindless killing and abuse of animals for it shows the base instinct of what a lesser creature, a lesser predator truly is. A creature that kills merely for self enjoyment rather than self preservation.”

“Beautiful day. Art matters. Poetry & literature matters. Friends matter. Life and light matter. Remembering the true history of the world and honesty matters. Words matter. Please don't waste your time on overaught social media, vapid pop stars and lunatic millionaires, icons without any real substance. If you want to change the world? Make the real things matter. Reality. It's a revolution.”

“Poets & Poetry Should BE AUTHENTIC Poets should actually care. The same goes for all musicians and artists. Everyone. Instead of being worried about "Popularity" or creating super popular "Fun Events" try being a real person and real poet and create what is necessary and what is needed for your communities and others right now in these dangerous times where your voice matters the most. There will be no tomorrow if you don't. They are censoring books, they are censoring your voice. All the rest is pathetic bullshit. All for $$ and fame. Be real. Give A Shit. And if you're neutral ? You're a big part of the problem.”

“As I get older I can see the patterns, the ugly corporate face behind the great machine. The sad and over competitive urge to be "loved or liked" on social media platforms exploited by their creators to create a frenzy of human need & desperate want. The system is an absolute con constantly exposing it's users (victims) to self identification and gratification only if they can collect enough followers to make themselves feel popular or complete. Instagram for example is an absolute shit show offering you the opportunity to purchase more exposure and get more likes. I'm sorry but ... is this really the 21st century? Are we becoming an " advanced" civilization? No. This is the inevitable "white noise" of capitalist conformity playing upon human desires & emotions just looking to make another mil. And its disgusting.”
