Quote

If suddenly you do not exist, If suddenly you are not living, I shall go on living. I do not dare, I do not dare to write it, if you die. I shall go on living.

More quotes by Pablo Neruda

Image
The bare earth, plantless, waterless, is an immense puzzle. In the forests or beside rivers everything speaks to humans. The desert does not speak. I could not comprehend its tongue its silence...
Pablo Neruda
Image
Shyness is a condition foreign to the heart - a category, a dimension which leads to loneliness.
Pablo Neruda
Image
It was my destiny to love and say goodbye.
Pablo Neruda
Image
I learned about life from life itself, love I learned in a single kiss and could teach no one anything except that I have lived with something in common among men.
Pablo Neruda
Image
And here am I, budding among the ruins with only sorrow to bite on, as if weeping were a seed and I the earth's only furrow.
Pablo Neruda
Image
Pale blind diver, luckless slinger, lost discoverer, in you everything sank!
Pablo Neruda
Image
There's a country spread out in the sky, a credulous carpet of rainbows and crepuscular plants: I move toward it just a bit haggardly, trampling a gravedigger's rubble still moist from the spade to dream in a bedlam of vegetables.
Pablo Neruda
Image
Am I allowed to ask my book / whether it's true I wrote it?
Pablo Neruda
Image
I don't know who it is who lives or dies, who rests or wakes, but it is your heart that distributes all the graces of the daybreak in my breast.
Pablo Neruda
Image
Cómo se acuerda con los pájaros la traducción de sus idiomas?
Pablo Neruda
Image
But when I call for a hero, out comes my lazy old self so I never know who I am, nor how many I am or will be. I'd love to be able to touch a bell and summon the real me, because if I really need myself, I mustn't disappear.
Pablo Neruda
Image
I was the owner of my own darkness.
Pablo Neruda
Image
Take bread away from me, if you wish, take air away, but do not take from me your laughter.
Pablo Neruda
Image
I am made of earth, and my song made of words.
Pablo Neruda
Image
What did the earth teach the trees? How to speak to the sky.
Pablo Neruda
Image
Nobody can claim the name of Pedro, nobody is Rosa or María, all of us are dust or sand, all of us are rain under rain. They have spoken to me of Venezuelas, of Chiles and Paraguays I have no idea what they are saying. I know only the skin of the earth and I know it has no name.
Pablo Neruda
Image
Laughter is the language of the soul.
Pablo Neruda
Image
I want to do for you what the spring does for the cherry trees
Pablo Neruda

Love is a clash of lightnings
Pablo Neruda
Image
Without doubt I praise the wild excellence.
