Famous quotes containing the words named and/or mayakovsky:

I, who was never quite sure

life, another image to remind me.
And this was my worst guilt; you could not cure
nor soothe it. I made you to find me.”

“Too slow, the wagons of years,
The oxen of days—too glum.
Our god is the god of speed,
Our heart—our battle-drum.”
