Quote

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.

More quotes by Pablo Neruda

Image
I am everybody and every time, I always call myself by your name.
Pablo Neruda
Image
We came by night to the Fortunate Isles, And lay like fish Under the net of our kisses.
Pablo Neruda
Image
I have never thought of my life as divided between poetry and politics.
Pablo Neruda
Image
I love you between shadow and soul. I love you as the plant that hasn't bloomed yet, and carries hidden within itself the light of flowers. I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. Because of you, the dense fragrance that rises from the earth lives in my body, rioting with hunger for the eternity of our victorious kisses.
Pablo Neruda
Image
I think it was very informative, but a lot still needs to be done.
Pablo Neruda
Image
Today is today, and yesterday is gone. There is no doubt.
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
Love! Love until the night collapses!
Pablo Neruda
Image
To feel the love of people whom we love is a fire that feeds our life.
Pablo Neruda
Image
Where were you then? Who else was there? Saying what? Why will the whole of love come on me suddenly when I am sad and feel you are far away?
Pablo Neruda
Image
Love has to be…flowering like the stars, and measureless as a kiss.
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
My soul is an empty carousel at sunset.
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
Shyness is a condition foreign to the heart - a category, a dimension which leads to loneliness.
Pablo Neruda
Image
sometimes i get up at dawn, and even my soul is wet.
Pablo Neruda
Image
Whom can I ask what I came to make happen in this world? Why do I move without wanting to, why am I not able to sit still? Why do I go rolling without wheels, flying without wings or feathers, and why did I decide to migrate if my bones live in Chile?
Pablo Neruda
Image
I stroll along serenely, with my eyes, my shoes, my rage, forgetting everything.
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
And what importance do I have in the courtroom of oblivion?
