Famous R.M. Engelhardt Quotes

“On Social Media people always seem to appear and then disappear. Befriend you as a writer perhaps because they think that you can just help them reach their goals or just maybe because they've heard of you. On some? Like on Instagram? Follow you and then unfollow you in their own shallow pathetic pursuit of looking popular. Not giving two shits about you or have any real interest in your actual work. Once upon a time that used to really bother me because they obviously lack authenticity & any manners. But after thirty some years of writing & publishing and creating and actually earning all of the merits and being myself, being true to the words and all the poetry that is the only real thing that truly matters? I simply say to all of them. Fuck you. I'm R.M. Engelhardt And if you haven't heard of me or read any of my work then obviously you don't really know much about poetry”

“Sometimes we cannot ignore the negativity of this world. Loss, tragedy & death is a part of being human. In an age where we desperately try to avoid these things around every corner we must gather together and sometimes endure them. Sure. You can avoid social media & the news but if you turn on the blinders then you also become a part of the problem, and not a part of the mourning, the apathy. And not a part of the solution. As it is we have busy lives, families & our own problems. But sometimes as human beings we are allowed to grieve, come together and heal. It's when we become so oblivious to things that we must sit back and reflect on what we've become, or possibly even what we are becoming.”

“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.”

“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.”
