You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep Spring from... - Pablo Neruda

"Poetry is an act of peace. Peace goes into the making of a poet as flour goes into the making of bread."

"The books that help you most are those which make you think that most. The hardest way of learning is that of easy reading; but a great book that comes from a great thinker is a ship of thought, deep freighted with truth and beauty."

"Escóndeme en tus brazospor esta noche sola,mientras la lluvia rompecontra el mar y la tierrasu boca innumerable."

"Y por que el sol es tan mal amigodel caminante en el desierto?Y por que el sol es tan simpaticoen el jardin del hospital?And why is the sun such a bad companionto the traveler in the desert?And why is the sun so congenial in the hospital garden?"

"I want to see thirstIn the syllables,Tough fireIn the sound;Feel through the darkFor the scream."
