A poet's autobiography is his poetry. Anything else is just a footnote.
From Yevgeny Yevtushenko
In my blood there is no Jewish blood. In their callous rage, all anti-Semites must hate me now as a Jew. For that reason I am a true Russian.
Justice is like a train that is nearly always late.
Only when the sense of the pain of others begins does man begin.
Give me a mystery - just a plain and simple one - a mystery which is diffidence and silence, a slim little bare-foot mystery: give me a mystery - just one!
