I'm drowning in papers.

Let the people who never find true love keep saying that there's no such thing. Their faith will make it easier for them to live and die.

Unfortunately, poetry is not born in noise, in crowds, or on a bus. There have to be four walls and the certainty that the telephone will not ring. That's what writing is all about.

Poetic talent doesn't operate in a vacuum. There is a spirit of Polish poetry.

All imperfection is easier to tolerate if served up in small doses.

I like being near the top of a mountain. One can't get lost here.

All is mine but nothing owned, nothing owned for memory, and mine only while I look.

Life lasts but a few scratches of the claw in the sand.

I cannot speak for more than an hour exclusively about poetry. At that point, life itself takes over again.
