Poetry Quote by Mahmoud Darwish — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“I love women whose hidden desires make horses put an end to their lives at the threshold”

“Don’t say that poetry, my friend, is beautiful”

“The poem is in my hands, and can run stories through her hands.”

“The stars had only one task: they taught me how to read.”

“I prepare my portrait for my woman to hang on a wall when I die.”

“Far away, our dreams have nothing to do with what we do. The wind carries the night, and passes on, aimless.”

“i have laughed”

“My love runs by like a day in June,”

“When a woman's face is wrinkled”

“I wrote so meagerly to you. But what I couldn't write”

“The world is a beautiful place”

“I do strongly feel that among the greatest pieces of luck for high achievement is ordeal. Certain great artists can make out without it, Titian and others, but mostly you need ordeal. My idea is this: the artist is extremely lucky who is presented with the worst possible ordeal which will not actually kill him. At that point, he's in business: Beethoven's deafness, Goya's deafness, Milton's blindness, that kind of thing.”
