Pablo Neruda Quotes
To feel the affection that comes from those whom we do not know ... widens out the boundaries of our being, and unites all living things.
Neruda, Pablo. Memoirs. Translated by Hardie St. Martin, Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1977, p. 18.
Ricardo Eliécer Neftalí Reyes Basoalto, better known by his pen name and, later, legal name Pablo Neruda (/nəˈruːdə/; Spanish: [ˈpaβlo neˈɾuða]), was a Chilean poet-diplomat and politician who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1971. Neruda became known as a poet when he was 13 years old, and wrote in a variety of styles, including surrealist poems, historical epics, overtly political manifestos, a prose autobiography, and passionate love poems such as the ones in his collection Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair (1924).
