More From Joseph Brodsky
- "After all, it is hard to master both life and work equally well. So if you are bound to fake one of them, it had better be life."
- "I do not believe in political movements. I believe in personal movement, that movement of the soul when a man who looks at himself is so ashamed that he tries to make some sort of change – within himself, not on the outside."
- "What I like about cities is that everything is king size, the beauty and the ugliness."

- "Journalism is concerned with events, poetry with feelings. Journalism is concerned with the look of the world, poetry with the feel of the world."― Archibald MacLeish
- "Religion is no more possible without prayer than poetry without language, or music without atmosphere."― James Martineau
