Pablo Neruda Quotes

To feel the love of people whom we love is a fire that feeds our life.

What did the earth teach the trees?
How to speak to the sky.

Love is not about property, diamonds and gifts. It is about sharing your very self with the world around you.

Every day you play with the light of the universe.

In one kiss, you’ll know all I haven’t said.

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

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

The books that help you most are those which make you think that most. The hardest way of learning is that of easy reading; but a great book that comes from a great thinker is a ship of thought, deep freighted with truth and beauty.

I want to do with you what spring does with cherry trees.

Laughter is the language of the soul.

Someday, somewhere – anywhere, unfailingly, you’ll find yourself, and that, and only that, can be the happiest or bitterest hour of your life.

As if you were on fire from within. The moon lives in the lining of your skin.

In you is the illusion of each day. You arrive like the dew to the cupped flowers. You undermine the horizon with your absence. Eternally in flight like the wave.

Your wide eyes are the only light I know from extinguished constellations.

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.

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