Brodsky quotes
Joseph Brodsky left us as a legacy many poems and sayings about life. In the summer, perhaps the most relevant of them is about the sea.
When so much is behind
And especially the grief.
Don't expect anyone's support,
Get on the train, get off by the sea.
We wish everyone to take a ticket and land by the sea. We also shared Erich Fromm’s remarks earlier.
