More quotes by Czeslaw Milosz
Be young forever, seasons of the earth.
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
What is poetry which does not save nations or people?
Czeslaw Milosz
Language is the only homeland.
Czeslaw Milosz

Czeslaw Milosz
A true opium of the people is a belief in nothingness after death.
Czeslaw Milosz

Czeslaw Milosz
Human reason is beautiful and invincible. No bars, no barbed wire, no pulping of books, No sentence of banishment can prevail against it. It puts what should be above things as they are. It does not know Jew from Greek nor slave from master.
Czeslaw Milosz
The living owe it to those who no longer can speak to tell their story for them.
Czeslaw Milosz
I think that I am here, on this earth, to present a report on it, but to whom I don't know. As if I were sent so that whatever takes place has meaning because it changes into memory.
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
Men will clutch at illusions when they have nothing else to hold to.
Czeslaw Milosz
On the day the world ends A bee circles a clover, A fisherman mends a glimmering net.
Czeslaw Milosz
The soul exceeds its circumstances.
Czeslaw Milosz
All of us yearn for the highest wisdom, but we have to rely on ourselves in the end.
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
At every sunrise I renounce the doubts of night and greet the new day of a most precious delusion.
Czeslaw Milosz
The revolt against one's environment is usually 'shame' of one's environment.
Czeslaw Milosz
When I curse Fate, it's not me, but the earth in me.
Czeslaw Milosz
