Quote

I'm afraid to be on this shore a trunk without limbs, and what I most regret is not to have flower, pulp, or clay for the worm of my suffering.

More quotes by Federico Garcia Lorca

Image
While the poet wrestles with the horses on his brain and the sculptor wounds his eyes on the hard spark of alabaster, the dancer battles the air around her, air that threatens at any moment to destroy her harmony or to open huge open empty spaces where her rhythm will be annihilated.
Federico Garcia Lorca
Image
Everything's a fan. Brother, open up your arms. God is the pivot.
Federico Garcia Lorca
Image
If blue is dream what then innocence? What awaits the heart if Love bears no arrows?
Federico Garcia Lorca
Image
What shall I say about poetry? What shall I say about those clouds, or about the sky? Look look at them look at it! And nothing more. Don't you understand anything about poetry? Leave that to the critics and the professors. For neither you, nor I, nor any poet knows what poetry is.
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
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
Relish the fresh landscape of my wound, break rushes and delicate rivulets, drink blood poured on honeyed thigh.
Federico Garcia Lorca
Image
Life is laughter amid a rosary of death.
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
To see you naked is to recall the Earth.
Federico Garcia Lorca
Image
We're all curious about what might hurt us.
Federico Garcia Lorca
Image
My poetry is a game. My life is a game. But I am not a game.
Federico Garcia Lorca
Image
Little black horse. Where are you taking your dead rider?
Federico Garcia Lorca
Image
I've often lost myself, in order to find the burn that keeps everything awake
Federico Garcia Lorca
Image
I'm satisfied. I am progressively making my life and my name in the surest and purest manner. If I catch on in the theater, as I think I will, all the doors will gladly open wide for me.
Federico Garcia Lorca
Image
In Spain, the dead are more alive than the dead of any other country in the world.
Federico Garcia Lorca
Image
Only mystery allows us to live, only mystery.
Federico Garcia Lorca
Image
There is nothing more poetic and terrible than the skyscrapers' battle with the heavens that cover them. Snow, rain, and mist highlight, drench, or conceal the vast towers, but those towers, hostile to mystery and blind to any sort of play, shear off the rain's tresses and shine their three thousand swords through the soft swan of the fog.
Federico Garcia Lorca
Image
I will always be on the side of those who have nothing and who are not even allowed to enjoy the nothing they have in peace.
Federico Garcia Lorca

At the heart of all great art is an essential melancholy.
Federico Garcia Lorca
