Alice Walker
“Be nobody's darling;
Be an outcast.
Take the contradictions
Of your life
And wrap around
You like a shawl,
To parry stones
To keep you warm.

Watch the people succumb
To madness
With ample cheer;
Let them look askance at you
And you askance reply.

Be an outcast;
Be pleased to walk alone
(Uncool)
Or line the crowded
River beds
With other impetuous
Fools.

Make a merry gathering
On the bank
Where thousands perished
For brave hurt words
They said.

Be nobody's darling;
Be an outcast.
Qualified to live
Among your dead.”
Alice Walker, Everyday Use

Arthur Rimbaud
“Genius is the recovery of childhood at will.”
Arthur Rimbaud

Friedrich Nietzsche
“Man is something that shall be overcome. Man is a rope, tied between beast and overman — a rope over an abyss. What is great in man is that he is a bridge and not an end.”
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra

Friedrich Nietzsche
“Stupidity in a woman is unfeminine.”
Friedrich Nietzsche, Human, All Too Human

Federico García Lorca
“Verde que te quiero verde.
Verde viento. Verdes ramas.
El barco sobre la mar
y el caballo en la montaña.
Con la sombra en la cintura
ella sueña en su baranda,
verde carne, pelo verde,
con ojos de fría plata.”
Federico García Lorca, Romancero gitano
