Left Communism/1952-1968

Famous quotes containing the words left and/or communism:

    “But I was trying to tell you about a strange thing
    That happened to me, but this is no way to tell about it,
    By making it truly happen. It drifts away in fragments.
    And one is left sitting in the yard
    To try to write poetry
    Using what Wyatt and Surrey left around....”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “Let’s not talk about Communism. Communism was just an idea, just pie in the sky.”
    —Boris Yeltsin (b. 1931)
