Let the people who never find true love keep saying that theres no such thing. Their faith will make it easier for them to live and die. – Wislawa Szymborska
Unfortunately, poetry is not born in noise, in crowds, or on a bus. There have to be four walls and the certainty that the telephone will not ring. Thats what writing is all about. – Wislawa Szymborska
All the best have something in common, a regard for reality, an agreement to its primacy over the imagination. – Wislawa Szymborska
