Quote

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.

Image
My poetry is a game. My life is a game. But I am not a game.
Federico Garcia Lorca
Image
Life is laughter amid a rosary of death.
Federico Garcia Lorca
Image
Just as the light and weightless vegetation of saltpeter floats over the old walls of houses as soon as the owner gets careless, so the literary vocation springs up in you.
Federico Garcia Lorca
Image
Every step we take on earth brings us to a new world.
Federico Garcia Lorca
Image
With their souls of patent leather, they come down the road. Hunched and nocturnal, where they breathe they impose, silence of dark rubber, and fear of fine sand.
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
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
The mirror is the mother dew, the book of desiccated twilights, echo become flesh.
Federico Garcia Lorca
Image
Damned, damned be the rich! May not even their fingernails be left!... I'm sure that they are going to Hell head-first.
Federico Garcia Lorca
Image
Men like to pleasure us, girl. They like to undo our plaits and give us water to drink from their own mouths. That's what makes the world go round.
Federico Garcia Lorca
Image
The dancer's trembling heart must bring everything into harmony, from the tips of her shoes to the flutter of her eyelashes, from the ruffles of her dress to the incessant play of her fingers.
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
I've often lost myself, in order to find the burn that keeps everything awake
Federico Garcia Lorca
Image
Everything's a fan. Brother, open up your arms. God is the pivot.
Federico Garcia Lorca
Image
Only mystery allows us to live, only mystery.
Federico Garcia Lorca
Image
The one thing life has taught me is that most people spend their lives bottled up inside their houses doing the things they hate.
Federico Garcia Lorca
Image
Death laid its eggs in the wound
Federico Garcia Lorca
Image
New York is a meeting place for every race in the world, but the Chinese, Armenians, Russians, and Germans remain foreigners. So does everyone except the blacks. There is no doubt but that the blacks exercise great influence in North America, and, no matter what anyone says, they are the most delicate, spiritual element in that world.

...I am the immense shadow of my tears
Federico Garcia Lorca
Image
My head is full of fire and grief and my tongue runs wild, pierced with shards of glass.
Federico Garcia Lorca
