More quotes by Czeslaw Milosz
The soul exceeds its circumstances.
Czeslaw Milosz
Consciousness even in my sleep changes primary colors. The features of my face melt like a wax doll in the fire. And who can consent to see in the mirror the mere face of man?
Czeslaw Milosz
A weak human mercy walks in the corridors of hospitals and is like a half-thawed winter.
Czeslaw Milosz
The revolt against one's environment is usually 'shame' of one's environment.
Czeslaw Milosz
Forget the suffering You caused others. Forget the suffering Others caused you. The waters run and run, Springs sparkle and are done, You walk the earth you are forgetting.
Czeslaw Milosz
It's true that what is morbid is highly valued today, and so you may think that I am only joking or that I've devised just one more means of praising Art with the help of irony.
Czeslaw Milosz
Do not feel safe. The poet remembers. You can kill one, but another is born. The words are written down, the deed, the date.
Czeslaw Milosz
In a room where people unanimously maintain a conspiracy of silence, one word of truth sounds like a pistol shot.
Czeslaw Milosz
All of us yearn for the highest wisdom, but we have to rely on ourselves in the end.
Czeslaw Milosz
The living owe it to those who no longer can speak to tell their story for them.
Czeslaw Milosz
Grow your tree of falsehood from a small grain of truth. Do not follow those who lie in contempt of reality. Let your lie be even more logical than the truth itself, so the weary travelers may find repose.
Czeslaw Milosz
From life, from the apple cut by the flaming knife, what grain will be saved? My son, believe me, nothing remains, Only adult toil, the furrow of fate in the palm. Only toil, Nothing more.
Czeslaw Milosz
Men will clutch at illusions when they have nothing else to hold to.
Czeslaw Milosz
The true enemy of man is generalization.
Czeslaw Milosz
You see how I try To reach with words What matters most And how I fail.
Czeslaw Milosz
I am composed of contradictions, which is why poetry is a better form for me than philosophy
Czeslaw Milosz
I liked beaches, swimming pools, and clinics for there they were the bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh. I pitied them and myself, but this will not protect me. The word and the thought are over.
Czeslaw Milosz
I was left behind with the immensity of existing things. A sponge, suffering because it cannot saturate itself a river, suffering because reflections of clouds and trees are not clouds and trees.
Czeslaw Milosz
What has no shadow has no strength to live.
Czeslaw Milosz
The history of my stupidity would fill many volumes.
Czeslaw Milosz
