Words by Vladimir Mayakovsky (1893-1930) — Futurist poet of the Russian avant-garde.

About this quote

Mayakovsky reflects on the immense, transformative weight that language carries. Words are not merely passive labels or light conversation; they possess the force to rouse people, signal danger, and shape society. The poet treats language as a physical instrument of action, capable of striking like an alarm bell to awaken public consciousness and drive meaningful change.

The line comes from the introduction to Mayakovsky's major unfinished poem, At the Top of My Voice, written in 1930 shortly before his death. It reflects his lifelong commitment to revolutionary Soviet poetry.
