Quotations from Joseph Brodsky:
Poetry is the only insurance against the vulgarity of the human heart. Therefore it should be available to everyone in this country, and at a low cost.
I who write these lines will cease to be; so will you who read them. But the language in which they are written and in which you read them will remain not merely because language is more lasting than man, but because it is more capable of mutation.
