Quotes about: Affairs

  Writing, People, Etcetera

  Joseph Brodsky, Cynthia L. Haven (2002). “Joseph Brodsky: Conversations”, p.80, Univ. Press of Mississippi

• As long as the state permits itself to interfere in the affairs of literature, literature has the right to interfere with the affairs of state.

  Joseph Brodsky

  Long, Literature, Affair

• Literature sort of makes your daily operation, your daily conduct, the management of your affairs in the society a bit more complex. And it puts what you do in perspective, and people don't like to see themselves or their activities in perspective. They don't feel quite comfortable with that. Nobody wants to acknowledge the insignificance of his life, and that is very often the net result of reading a poem.
