There’s no grandfatherly fondness in me, There are no gray hairs in my soul! Shaking the world with my voice and grinning, I pass you by, - handsome, Twentytwoyearold.

More quotes by Vladimir Mayakovsky
Love's ship has foundered on the rocks of life. We're quits: stupid to draw up a list of mutual sorrows, hurts and pains.
Vladimir Mayakovsky
Were I as quiet as thunder, how I'd wail and whine! One groan of mine would start the world's crumbling cloister shivering. And if I'd end up by roaring with all of its power of lungs and more - the comets, distressed, would wring their hands and from the sky's roof leap in a fever.
Vladimir Mayakovsky
My verse has brought me no roubles to spare: no craftsmen have made mahogany chairs for my house.
Vladimir Mayakovsky
Art must not be concentrated in dead shrines called museums. lt must be spread everywhere – on the streets, in the trams, factories, workshops, and in the workers' homes.
Vladimir Mayakovsky
If you wish, I shall grow irreproachably tender: not a man, but a cloud in trousers!
Vladimir Mayakovsky
To us love says humming that the heart's stalled motor has begun working again.
Vladimir Mayakovsky
If you like I'll be furious flesh elemental, or- changing to tones that the sunset arouses- if you like- I'll be extraordinary gentle, not a man but - a cloud in trousers.
Vladimir Mayakovsky
Gentle souls! You play your love on the violin. The crude ones play it on the drums violently. But can you turn yourselves inside out, like me And become just two lips entirely?
Vladimir Mayakovsky
Comrade life, let us march faster, March faster through what's left of the five-year plan.
Vladimir Mayakovsky
On the pavement of my trampled soul the steps of madmen weave the prints of rude crude words.
Vladimir Mayakovsky
In our language rhyme is a barrel. A barrel of dynamite. The line is a fuse. The line smoulders to the end and explodes and the town is blown sky-high in a stanza.
Vladimir Mayakovsky
The love boat has crashed against the everyday.
Vladimir Mayakovsky
Our planet is poorly equipped for delight. One must snatch gladness from the days that are. In this life it's not difficult to die. To make life is more difficult by far.
Vladimir Mayakovsky
I want to be understood by my country, but if I fail to be understood - what then?, I shall pass through my native land to one side, like a shower of slanting rain.
Vladimir Mayakovsky
In the church of my heart the choir is on fire
Vladimir Mayakovsky
A line is a fuse that's lit. The line smolders, the rhyme explodes— and by a stanza a city is blown to bits.
Vladimir Mayakovsky
Listen! If stars are lit It means there is someone who needs it, It means someone wants them to be, That someone deems those specks of spit Magnificent!
Vladimir Mayakovsky
I understand the power and the alarm of words - Not those that they applaud from theatre-boxes, but those which make coffins break from bearers and on their four oak legs walk right away.
Vladimir Mayakovsky
On I’ll pass, dragging my huge love behind me. On what feverish night, deliria-ridden, by what Goliaths was I begot – I, so big and by no one needed?
Vladimir Mayakovsky
But I, from poetry's skies, plunge into communism, because without it I feel no love.
Vladimir Mayakovsky
