Poetry Quote by Ilya Kaminsky — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“At the trial of God, we will ask: why did you allow all this?”

“If what we need to dream, to move our spirits most deeply and directly toward and through promise, is discounted as a luxury, then we give up the core -- the fountain -- of our power, our womanness; we give up the future of our worlds. (From "Poetry is Not a Luxury")”

“Κι μιὰ μέρα θέλω νὰ γράψουν στὸν τάφο μου: ἔζησε στὰ σύνορα”

“Since when," he asked,”

“Bright star, would I were steadfast as thou art—”

“For darkness restores what light cannot repair.”

“I used to think love was two people sucking”
