Einst Ikone des Leningrader Undergrounds, später Literaturnobelpreisträger: Joseph Brodsky gehörte zu den herausragendsten Dichtern der Generation, die die russische Poesie nach dem späten Stalinismus wiederbelebte. Heute wäre er 83 Jahre alt geworden.

“this bleak surmise:
the world was made to hold no end or telos,
and if--as some would tell us-there is a goal, it's not ourselves.
No butterfly collector
can trap light or detect where the darkness dwells.”
from “The Butterfly”

Don't set too much store by politicians, because of the size of their job, which is too big even for the best among them

The surest defense against Evil is extreme individualism, originality of thinking, whimsicality, even eccentricity
