Joseph Brodsky Life Quotations

Life - the way it really is - is a battle not between Bad and Good but between Bad and Worse.

For boredom speaks the language of time, and it is to teach you the most valuable lesson of your life - the lesson of your utter insignificance.

What should I say about life? That it's long and abhors transparence.

After all, it is hard to master both life and work equally well. So if you are bound to fake one of them, it had better be life.
