Quote

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

More quotes by Federico Garcia Lorca

Image
What matters most has an ultimate metallic quality of death. The chasuble and the wagon wheel, the razor and the prickly beards of shepherds, the bare moon, a fly, humid cupboards, rubble piles, the images of saints covered in lace, quicklime, and the wounding edges of the rooflines and watchtowers.
Federico Garcia Lorca
Image
Those who are afraid of death will carry it on their shoulders.
Federico Garcia Lorca
Image
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.
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
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
A nation that does not support and encourage its theater is - if not dead - dying just as a theater that does not capture with laughter and tears the social and historical pulse, the drama of its people, the genuine color of the spiritual and natural landscape, has no right to call itself theater but only a place for amusement.
Federico Garcia Lorca
Image
Every step we take on earth brings us to a new world.
Federico Garcia Lorca
Image
Only mystery allows us to live, only mystery.
Federico Garcia Lorca
Image
The important thing in life is to let the years carry us along.
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
Little black horse. Where are you taking your dead rider?
Federico Garcia Lorca
Image
Today in my heart a vague trembling of stars and all roses are as white as my pain.
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
A poet must be a professor of the five senses and must open doors among them.
Federico Garcia Lorca
Image
The moon carries the masks of meningitis into bedrooms, fills the wombs of pregnant women with cold water and, as soon as I'm not careful, throws handfuls of grass on my shoulders.
Federico Garcia Lorca
Image
Everything's a fan. Brother, open up your arms. God is the pivot.
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
If blue is dream what then innocence? What awaits the heart if Love bears no arrows?
Federico Garcia Lorca

We're all curious about what might hurt us.
