Pablo Neruda citáty

„Láska je taká krátka a zabúdanie také dlhé.“

„Milujem ťa tak, ako sa majú milovať niektoré temné veci,
v tajnosti, medzi tieňom a dušou.“

„Dnes večer môžem napísať tú najsmutnejšiu báseň zo všetkých. Miloval som ju a niekedy aj ona mňa.“

„Pomaly umiera ten, kto necestuje, nečíta, nepočúva hudbu, kto vo svojich očiach nevie nájsť čaro.“

„Zabúdajme so šľachetnosťou na tých, ktorí nás nedokážu milovať.“

„Prečo si lístie berie život, keď cíti, že je žlté?“

„Dvaja šťastní milenci nepoznajú smrť a zánik, rodia sa, umierajú v živote bez prestania, ako sama príroda zostávajú veční.“

„Je dačo žalostnejšie na svete ako vlak, ktorý stojí na daždi?“

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

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

“I can write the saddest poem of all tonight. I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too.”

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

“But I love your feet
only because they walked
upon the earth and upon
the wind and upon the waters,
until they found me.”

“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where,
I love you simply, without problems or pride:
I love you in this way because I don’t know any other way of loving.”

“While I'm writing, I'm far away;
and when I come back, I've gone.”

“Love! Love until the night collapses!”

“Everything is ceremony in the wild garden of childhood.”

“Tell me, is the rose naked
or is that her only dress?

Why do trees conceal
the splendor of their roots?

Who hears the regrets
of the thieving automobile?

Is there anything in the world sadder
than a train standing in the rain?”

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

“And the verse falls to the soul like dew to the pasture.”

“I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.”
— Pablo Neruda
From 100 Love Sonnets
like this quote”

“It is time, love, to break off that sombre rose,
shut up the stars and bury the ash in the earth;
and, in the rising of the light, wake with those who awoke
or go on in the dream, reaching the other shore of the sea which has no other shore.”

“You are like nobody since I love you.”

“It was at that age
that poetry came in search of me.”

“He who does not travel, who does not read,
who does not listen to music,
who does not find grace in himself,
she who does not find grace in herself,
dies slowly.
He who slowly destroys his own self-esteem,
who does not allow himself to be helped”

“Sufre mas el que espera siempre
que aquel que nunca espero a nadie?

Does he who is always waiting suffer more than he who’s never waited for anyone?”

till you will see me again and live in me.
Till then my windows ache.”

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