"I cannot imagine any writer who would not fight for his peace and quiet." ― Wislawa Szymborska Topic(s): Peace More From 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." "Let the people who never find true love keep saying that there’s no such thing. Their faith will make it easier for them to live and die." "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 anyone’s existence in this world." More In Peace "I say that to my colleagues, by the way, in the internal Cabinet meetings, I say, ‘Look, I want to be very clear about what I want.’ I just – I don’t want a peace process, I want a peace result."― Benjamin Netanyahu "While conscience is our friend, all is at peace; however once it is offended, farewell to a tranquil mind."― Mary Wortley Montagu "I said it was my feeling that the American people would struggle for peace, and that has since been underscored by the President of these United States."― Paul Robeson
