More From Joseph Brodsky
- "Poetry is rather an approach to things, to life, than it is typographical production."
- "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."
- "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."
