Famous quotes containing the word brodsky:

    Every writing career starts as a personal quest for sainthood, for self-betterment. Sooner or later, and as a rule quite soon, a man discovers that his pen accomplishes a lot more than his soul.
    —Joseph Brodsky (b. 1940)

    There are worse crimes than burning books. One of them is not reading them.
    —Joseph Brodsky (b. 1940)

    A poet is a combination of an instrument and a human being in one person, with the former gradually taking over the latter. The sensation of this takeover is responsible for timbre; the realization of it, for destiny.
    —Joseph Brodsky (b. 1940)
