Czeslaw Milosz Quotes

Our memory is childish and it saves only what we need Picture Quote #1

Poetry is news brought to the mountains by a unicorn and an echo Picture Quote #1

If I am all mankind, are they themselves without me? Picture Quote #1

At every sunrise I renounce the doubts of night and greet the new day of a most precious delusion Picture Quote #1

Human reason is beautiful and invincible. No bars, no barbed wire, no pulping of books, No sentence of banishment can prevail against it. It puts what should be above things as they are. It does not know Jew from Greek nor slave from master Picture Quote #1

It is sweet to think I was a companion in an expedition that never ends Picture Quote #1

Consolation Calm down. Both your sins and your good deeds will be lost in oblivion Picture Quote #1

Do you know how it is when one wakes at night suddenly and asks, listening to the pounding heart: what more do you want, insatiable? Picture Quote #1

And now I am ready to keep running When the sun rises beyond the borderlands of death. I already see mountain ridges in the heavenly forest Where, beyond every essence, a new essence awaits Picture Quote #1

From life, from the apple cut by the flaming knife, what grain will be saved? My son, believe me, nothing remains, Only adult toil, the furrow of fate in the palm. Only toil, Nothing more Picture Quote #1

At the entrance, my bare feet on the dirt floor, Here, gusts of heat; at my back, white clouds. I stare and stare. It seems I was called for this: To glorify things just because they are Picture Quote #1

What has no shadow has no strength to live Picture Quote #1

All was taken away from you: white dresses, wings, even existence Picture Quote #1

A true opium of the people is a belief in nothingness after death Picture Quote #1

Yet falling in love is not the same as being able to love Picture Quote #1

Irony is the glory of slaves Picture Quote #1

When a writer is born into a family, the family is finished Picture Quote #1

The history of my stupidity would fill many volumes Picture Quote #1

Language is the only homeland Picture Quote #1

I liked beaches, swimming pools, and clinics for there they were the bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh. I pitied them and myself, but this will not protect me. The word and the thought are over Picture Quote #1

When I die, I will see the lining of the world. The other side, beyond bird, mountain, sunset Picture Quote #1

Consciousness even in my sleep changes primary colors. The features of my face melt like a wax doll in the fire. And who can consent to see in the mirror the mere face of man? Picture Quote #1

I have no wisdom, no skills, and no faith but I received strength, it tears the world apart. I shall break, a heavy wave, against its shores and a young wave will cover my trace Picture Quote #1

All was taken away from you: white dresses, wings, even existence. Yet I believe you, messengers. There, where the world is turned inside out, a heavy fabric embroidered with stars and beasts, you stroll, inspecting the trustworthy seams Picture Quote #1

I was left behind with the immensity of existing things. A sponge, suffering because it cannot saturate itself; a river, suffering because reflections of clouds and trees are not clouds and trees Picture Quote #1

I am composed of contradictions, which is why poetry is a better form for me than philosophy Picture Quote #1
