All the best have something in common, a regard for reality, an agreement to its primacy over the imagination. – Wislawa Szymborska
Each of us has a very rich nature and can look at things objectively, from a distance, and at the same time can have something more personal to say about them. I am trying to look at the world, and at myself, from many different points of view. I think many poets have this duality. – Wislawa Szymborska
I usually write for the individual reader -though I would like to have many such readers. There are some poets who write for people assembled in big rooms, so they can live through something collectively. I prefer my reader to take my poem and have a one-on-one relationship with it. – Wislawa Szymborska
Poetic talent doesnt operate in a vacuum. There is a spirit of Polish poetry. – Wislawa Szymborska
Its a wonderful thing working with young actors. I know a lot of people dont like working with children. I actually adore it, because you watch their imagination open up and you watch them start to learn this job that Ive been doing for so long. They come with such a lack of cynicism. – Michelle Forbes
