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

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

"You are like nobody since I love you."

"I can write the saddest poem of all tonight. I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too."

"No, my dog used to gaze at me,paying me the attention I need,the attention requiredto make a vain person like me understandthat, being a dog, he was wasting time,but, with those eyes so much purer than mine,he’d keep on gazing at mewith a look that reserved for me aloneall his sweet and shaggy life,always near me, never troubling me,and asking nothing."

"I grew up in this town, my poetry was born between the hill and the river, it took its voice from the rain, and like the timber, it steeped itself in the forests."
