Poetry Quote by Andrei Tarkovsky — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Poetry is an awareness of the world, a particular way of relating to reality.”

“What moved me was the theme of the harmony which is born only of sacrifice, the twofold experience of love. It's not a question of mutual love: what nobody seems to understand is that love can only be one-sided, that no other love exists, that in any other form it is not love. If it involves less than total giving, it is not love. It is impotent; for the moment, it is nothing.”

“This is where I belong, burning in these flames. For everything I have done wrong, I know I am to blame.”

“The poet dreams of the mountain”

“and the afterglow...”

“Remembrance and reflection how allied!”

“Humanity i love you because you”

“I have been right, Basil, haven’t I, to take my love out of poetry, and to find my wife in Shakespeare’s plays? Lips that Shakespeare taught to speak have whispered their secret in my ear. I have had the arms of Rosalind around me, and kissed Juliet on the mouth.”
