Quote

The gitano is the most distinguished, profound and aristocratic element in my country, the one that most represents its Way of being and best preserves the fire, the blood and the alphabet of Andalusian and universal truth.

More quotes by Federico Garcia Lorca

Image
Oh honey, there's nothing new on this earth when it comes to what men and women do in the dark. First love is when you learn. So you've learned that love can open you up like spring sun on a wee primrose. Good. Remember that. You know how to love.
Federico Garcia Lorca
Image
A poet must be a professor of the five senses and must open doors among them.
Federico Garcia Lorca
Image
All one's personality is embedded in gloves and hats after they've been good and used. Show me a glove and I'll tell you the character of its owner.
Federico Garcia Lorca
Image
If I told you the whole story it would never end...What's happened to me has happened to a thousand woman.
Federico Garcia Lorca
Image
The mirror is the mother dew, the book of desiccated twilights, echo become flesh.
Federico Garcia Lorca
Image
The world is a shoulder of dark meat (black flesh of an old mule). And the light is on the other side.
Federico Garcia Lorca
Image
I've often lost myself, in order to find the burn that keeps everything awake
Federico Garcia Lorca
Image
Relish the fresh landscape of my wound, break rushes and delicate rivulets, drink blood poured on honeyed thigh.
Federico Garcia Lorca
Image
The theater has to impose itself on the public, and not the public on the theater... The word Art should be written everywhere, in the auditorium and in the dressing rooms, before the word Business gets written there.
Federico Garcia Lorca
Image
Little black horse. Where are you taking your dead rider?
Federico Garcia Lorca
Image
New York is something awful, something monstrous. I like to walk the streets, lost, but I recognize that New York is the world's greatest lie. New York is Senegal with machines.
Federico Garcia Lorca
Image
Angel and Muse approach from without the Angel sheds light and the Muse gives form (Hesiod learned of them). Gold leaf or chiton-folds: the poet finds his models in his laurel coppice. But the Duende, on the other hand, must come to life in the nethermost recesses of the blood.
Federico Garcia Lorca
Image
Everyone understands the pain that accompanies death, but genuine pain doesn't live in the spirit, nor in the air, nor in our lives, nor on these terraces of billowing smoke. The genuine pain that keeps everything awake is a tiny, infinite burn on the innocent eyes of other systems.
Federico Garcia Lorca
Image
Green how I love you green. Green wind. Green boughs. The ship on the sea And the horse on the mountain.
Federico Garcia Lorca
Image
In the garden I will die. In the rosebush they will kill me.
Federico Garcia Lorca
Image
At the heart of all great art is an essential melancholy.
Federico Garcia Lorca
Image
I was lucky enough to see with my own eyes the recent stock-market crash, where they lost several million dollars, a rabble of dead money that went sliding off into the sea.
Federico Garcia Lorca
Image
We're all curious about what might hurt us.
Federico Garcia Lorca

...I am the immense shadow of my tears
Federico Garcia Lorca

If blue is dream what then innocence? What awaits the heart if Love bears no arrows?
