Pablo Neruda

"My heart burns for you like the sun burns for the earth."

"Nothing is as important as poetry."

"Every act of creation is first an act of destruction."

"I wish I could have given you certainty."

"The wind knows my name; I am part of the dance of the elements."

"Gratitude is the memory of the heart."

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

"You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep spring from coming."

"I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where."

"Tonight I can write the saddest lines."

"Poetry is like bread that is shared by all of mankind."

"The flower that blooms in adversity is the rarest and most beautiful of all."

"Absence is a house so vast that inside you will pass through its walls forever."

"I love you for all that you are, all that you have been, all that you're yet to be."

"One day we will remember this and it will mean something different."

"I have crossed oceans of time to find you."

"The night is shattered and the blue stars shiver in the distance."

"My soul is not asleep. It is awake, wide awake."

"Come and see the world. It's the gift I'm wishing for you."

"And now we will count to twelve and we will all keep still."

"I want to know what you long for, what drives you, what makes your heart sing."

"When I die, I want your hands on my eyes."

"Let your life lightly dance on the edges of Time like dew on the tip of a leaf."

"I have a crazy hope that somewhere you're thinking of me too."

"Your laughter is the rarest vintage, worth the price of admission to your world."

"The pages of a book smell like the devil."

"Neruda believed that love is so short, forgetting is so long."

"I love you without knowing how, or when, or where."

"Desire is the purest form of being alive."

"Every kiss is a promise, a silent vow whispered in darkness."
