Bob Kaufman Quotes

“For every remembered dream. There are twenty nighttime lifetimes.”
― Bob Kaufman, Solitudes Crowded With Loneliness

“Digging among reddened lipstained cups,
Of leftover sadness,
Hopelessly hoping hopefully
To find love
Of a dead moon
Or a poem.”
― Bob Kaufman

“My face is covered with maps of dead nations”
― Bob Kaufman, Solitudes Crowded With Loneliness

“(So much laughter, concealed by blood and faith;
Life is a saxophone played by death.)

Greedy to please, we learned to cry;
Hungry to live, we learned to die.
The heart is a sad musician,
Forever playing the blues.”
― Bob Kaufman, Solitudes Crowded With Loneliness
