Here are some notable quotes by Derek Walcott:
1. ”Break a vase, and the love that reassembles the fragments is stronger than that love which took its symmetry for granted when it was whole.”
2. ”The time will come / when, with elation / you will greet yourself arriving / at your own door, in your own mirror / and each will smile at the other’s welcome.”
3. ”To change your language, you must change your life.”
4. ”The sea is history. It must be told and retold.”
5. ”The future is always beginning now.”
6. ”The only thing that can save the world is the reclaiming of the awareness of the world. That’s what poetry does.”
7. ”The heart’s memory eliminates the bad and magnifies the good, and thanks to this artifice we manage to endure the burden of the past.”
These quotes showcase Walcott’s ability to capture profound truths about love, identity, language, history, and the power of poetry.
