"Good poetry does not exist merely for the sake of itself, but rather, is a byproduct of yearning and growth; great poetry canonizes that yearning for the growth of others."

"The secret of poetry is never explained - is always new. We have not got farther than mere wonder at the delicacy of the touch, & the eternity it inherits. In every house a child that in mere play utters oracles, & knows not that they are such. 'Tis as easy as breath. 'Tis like this gravity, which holds the Universe together, & none knows what it is."

Salvatore Quasimodo
"Europeans know the importance of the Resistance; it has been the shining example of the modern conscience."

Conscience

Quote_1.png
Salvatore Quasimodo
"In opposition to this detachment, he finds an image of man which contains within itself man's dreams, man's illness, man's redemption from the misery of poverty - poverty which can no longer be for him a sign of the acceptance of life."

Life

Quote_1.png
Salvatore Quasimodo
"Religious poetry, civic poetry, lyric or dramatic poetry are all categories of man's expression which are valid only if the endorsement of formal content is valid."

Poetry

Quote_1.png
Salvatore Quasimodo
"The Resistance is a moral certainty, not a poetic one. The true poet never uses words in order to punish someone. His judgment belongs to a creative order; it is not formulated as a prophetic scripture."

Certainty

Quote_1.png
Salvatore Quasimodo
"Poetry is also the physical self of the poet, and it is impossible to separate the poet from his poetry."

"War, I have always said, forces men to change their standards, regardless of whether their country has won or lost."

Change

Quote_1.png
Salvatore Quasimodo
"The poet's other readers are the ancient poets, who look upon the freshly written pages from an incorruptible distance. Their poetic forms are permanent, and it is difficult to create new forms which can approach them."

Poet

Quote_1.png
Salvatore Quasimodo
"An exact poetic duplication of a man is for the poet a negation of the earth, an impossibility of being, even though his greatest desire is to speak to many men, to unite with them by means of harmonious verses about the truths of the mind or of things."
