"A poet’s autobiography is his poetry. Anything else is just a footnote." ― Yevgeny Yevtushenko Topic(s): Poetry More From Yevgeny Yevtushenko "Poetry is like a bird, it ignores all frontiers." "Sorrow happens, hardship happens, the hell with it, who never knew the price of happiness, will not be happy." "Time has a way of demonstrating that the most stubborn are the most intelligent." More In Poetry "As far away as you can get from the process of mechanisms and machinery, the more likely your food’s going to taste good. And that – that is probably the largest thing I can hand to anybody is let your hands touch it. Let them make it."― Mario Batali "I would like to work with anyone in the business who wants to give respect back to the Jamaican vibe."― Sean Paul "And New York is the most beautiful city in the world? It is not far from it. No urban night is like the night there… Squares after squares of flame, set up and cut into the aether. Here is our poetry, for we have pulled down the stars to our will."― Ezra Pound
