Classic quotes by Russian celebrity Mayakovsky Mayakovsky’s poems

Let those who moldy in joy die quickly so that the children who should grow up able to grow. The day will come when they will name their children after my poem.

--Mayakovsky

Look at the world becoming so quiet, the sky is wrapped in the gifts of stars at night. At such a moment, a person would want to stand up and speak to the times, history, and the universe.

--Mayakovsky "It's past one point"

It's past one point. You must have gone to bed. The Milky Way sheds silver light at night. I'm in no hurry, no reason to bother you with telegraph lightning, and, as they say, the matter is settled. The boat of love has hit the rocks of life and sunk. You and I don't owe each other, so why list each other's sufferings, pains, and sorrows. Look how quiet the world has become, and the sky is wrapped in the gifts of stars at night. At such moments, a person would want to stand up and speak to the times, history, and the universe.

--Mayakovsky "It's past one point"

Let's move forward! No need for empty words here. Shut up, orator! It's your turn to speak, Comrade Mauser. We hate the law left behind by Adam and Eve. Get rid of the skinny old horse of history! Left! Left! Left!

--Mayakovsky "March to the Left"

There is no more beautiful clothes in the world than strong muscles and fresh skin.

--Mayakovsky
