Joseph Brodsky

"There are worse crimes than burning books. One of them is not reading them."

"How delightful to find a friend in everyone."

"Life—the way it really is—is a battle not between good and bad, but between bad and worse"

"For darkness restores what light cannot repair."

"There are worse crimes than burning books. One of them is not reading them."

"Life—the way it really is—is a battle not between good and bad, but between bad and worse"
