Quote by Wislawa Szymborska
Unfortunately, poetry is not born in noise, in crowds, or on a bus

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

Other quotes by Wislawa Szymborska

In the language of poetry, where every word is weighed, nothing is usual or normal. Not a single stone and not a single cloud above it. Not a single day and not a single night after it. And above all, not a single existence, not anyones existence in this world. – Wislawa Szymborska
