Quote

When everything seems to be set to show me off as intelligent, the fool I always keep hidden takes over all that I say.

More quotes by Pablo Neruda

Image
O happy childhood! blessed youth! But once we know thy potent power But once we live all careless free No cross to mar our love-lit bower.
Pablo Neruda
Image
Oh to follow the road that leads away from everything, without anguish, death, winter waiting along it with their eyes open through the dew.
Pablo Neruda
Image
Love is a war of lightning, and two bodies ruined by a single sweetness.
Pablo Neruda
Image
Green was the silence, wet was the light, the month of June trembled like a butterfly.
Pablo Neruda
Image
We the mortals touch the metals, the wind, the ocean shores, the stones, knowing they will go on, inert or burning, and I was discovering, naming all the these things: it was my destiny to love and say goodbye.
Pablo Neruda
Image
I built up these lumber piles of love, and with fourteen boards each I built little houses, so that your eyes, which I adore and sing to, might live in them. Now that I have declared the foundations of my love, I surrender this century to you: wooden sonnets that rise only because you gave them life.
Pablo Neruda
Image
my feet will want to walk to where you are sleeping but I shall go on living.
Pablo Neruda
Image
When I sleep every night, what am I called or not called? And when I wake, who am I if I was not I while I slept?
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
I want to do for you what the spring does for the cherry trees
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
Oh love, rose made wet by mermaids and foams, fire that dances and climbs up the invisible stairs and awakens the blood in the tunnel of sleeplessness.
Pablo Neruda
Image
I stood on the balcony dark with mourning... hoping the earth would spread its wings in my uninhabited love.
Pablo Neruda
Image
When did the lemons learn the same creed as the sun?
Pablo Neruda
Image
Once more I am the silent one who came out of the distance wrapped in cold rain and bells: I owe to earth's pure death the will to sprout.
Pablo Neruda
Image
Who do I belong to? How come I mortgaged my being till I don't belong to myself? How come I sold my blood? And who now owns my indecisions, my hands, my private pain, my pride?
Pablo Neruda
Image
Tonight I can write the saddest lines...Though this be the last pain that she makes me suffer and these the last verses that I write for her.
Pablo Neruda
Image
What did the earth teach the trees? How to speak to the sky.
Pablo Neruda
Image
Your house sounds like a train at midday, the wasps buzz, the saucepans sing, the waterfall enumerates the deeds of the dew . . .
Pablo Neruda
Image
It was at that age that poetry came in search of me.
