Yevgeny Yevtushenko
“A poet's autobiography is his poetry. Anything else is just a footnote.”
Yevgeny Yevtushenko

“I really was never any more than what I was -a folk musician who gazed into the gray mist with tear-blinded eyes and made up songs that floated in a luminous haze.”
Bob Dylan, Chronicles, Volume One
