Author of quotes: Robert Rozhdestvensky

grow up?..

The flame does not go out when two are responsible for it.

You are "Riesling", you are asking "Starka",
You take a glass in your hands,
And I say to you, "Quit!
Their Hollywood stuff!
Life is not given twice,
And you'll get it sideways.
If you're thirsty -
Quench it with juice

will someday become teachers!

You leave yourself for your flatterers,
and with such advice to us do not climb -
a man dies in the end,
if he hides his illness.

Grow.
We will tolerate any laughter.
And let's get bigger
Gods!..
And the children will sculpt snowballs.
from cumulus
Clouds.

It's a pity that nothing started.

kiss inaccessible beauties!

...
I'm bribed by the nascent word,
not yet exchanged for trifles.
I am bribed by Mayakovsky and Svetlov.
And the Earth,
in which the poems will come true!..
And not all the fires were still on fire.
And the fate is not yet guessed all ...
I'm bribed.
I'm bribed with giblets.
And so buy me
must not.

this time is on the calendar.

We don't remember kings.
Remember: there were Dantes and Martynov.

So aim at the poets -
And you are
get into history!

None of us can live again.
Thoughts of immortality are vanity.
A moment will one day,
for which -
dazzling darkness...
From what I've done,
To exhale accidentally happened,
maybe there will be ten lines...
It would be good if it were typed.

This life strip
and maybe some higher plan
Other
I distinguish voices
and his own voice
do not hear.
And yet he as close relatives,
the only
who warms you in the cold.
To death he will be
inside of me.
And then
will not break out.
