Pablo Neruda

“Let us forget with generosity those who cannot love us.”

“Absence is a house so vast that inside you will pass through its walls and hang pictures on the air.”

“To feel the love of people whom we love is a fire that feeds our life.”

“I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul.”

“And one by one the nights between our separated cities are joined to the night that unites us.”

“You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep Spring from coming.”

“If nothing saves us from death, at least let love save us from life.”

“A child who does not play is not a child, but the man who doesn't play has lost forever the child who lived in him and who he will miss terribly.”

“Laughter is the language of the soul.”

“Love is so short, forgetting is so long.”

“I want to do with you what spring does with the cherry trees.”

“Someday, somewhere - anywhere, unfailingly, you'll find yourself, and that, and only that, can be the happiest or bitterest hour of your life.”

“Poetry is an act of peace.”

“The books that help you most are those which make you think the most.”

“So I wait for you like a lonely house till you will see me again and live in me. Till then my windows ache.”

“He who does not know how to look back at where he came from will never get to his destination.”

“In one kiss, you'll know all I haven't said.”

“I need the sea because it teaches me.”

“My feet will want to walk to where you are sleeping but I shall go on living.”

“As if you were on fire from within. The moon lives in the lining of your skin.”
