Poetry Quote by محمدرضا شفیعی کدکنی — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“I am always trying to 'preserve' things by getting other people to read what I have written, and feel what I felt.”

“Poetry ought to be a by-product of living, and you can't have a by-product unless you've got a product”

“It is not what they built. It is what they knocked down.”

“I will love you forever" swears the poet. I find this easy to swear too. "I will love you at 4:15 pm next Tuesday" - Is that still as easy?”

“Maka pada suatu pagi hari ia ingin sekali menangis sambil berjalan tunduk sepanjang lorong itu. Ia ingin pagi itu hujan turun rintik-rintik dan lorong sepi agar ia bisa berjalan sendiri saja sambil menangis dan tak ada orang bertanya kenapa.”

“This is joy's bonfire, then, where love's strong arts”
