Additional quotes by Vladimir Mayakovsky

I want to be understood by my country,
but if I fail to be understood –
what then?,
I shall pass through my native land
to one side,
like a shower
of slanting rain.

The line smoulders, the rhyme explodes –
and by a stanza a city is blown to bits.

Art must not be concentrated in dead shrines called museums. lt must be spread everywhere – on the streets, in the trams, factories, workshops, and in the workers' homes.
