"«Cities can be lonely places, and in admitting this we see that loneliness doesn’t necessarily require physical solitude, but rather an abscence or paucity of connection, closeness, kinship: an inability, for one reason or another, to find as much intimacy as is desired.»" Nov 14, 2023 07:26PM

Paulo Freire
“... no entiendo la existencia humana y la necesaria lucha por mejorarla sin la esperanza y sin el sueño.”
Paulo Freire

Alejandra Pizarnik
“Heredé de mis antepasados las ansias de huir. Dicen que mi sangre es europea. Yo siento que cada glóbulo procede de un punto distinto. De cada nación, de cada provincia, de cada isla, golfo, accidente, archipiélago, oasis. De cada trozo de tierra o de mar han usurpado algo y así me formaron, condenándome a la eterna búsqueda de un lugar de origen. Con los labios expresamente dibujados para exhalar quejas. Con la frente estrujada por todas las dudas. Con la malicia instintiva de la prohibición. Heredé el paso vacilante con objeto de no estatizarme nunca con firmeza en lugar alguno. ¡En todo y en nada! ¡En nada y en todo!”
Alejandra Pizarnik, Diarios

T.S. Eliot
“And if all that is meaningless, I want to be cured
Of a craving for something I cannot find And of the shame of never finding it.”
T.S. Eliot, The Cocktail Party

Ernest Hemingway
“Please do it your own way.
Do it in the mornings when your mind is cold
Do it in the evenings when everything is sold.
Do it in the springtime when springtime isn't there
Do it in the winter
We know winter well
Do it on very hot days
Try doing it in hell.
Trade bed for a pencil
Trade sorrow for a page
No work it out your own way
Have good luck at your age.”
Ernest Hemingway, 88 Poems

Albert Camus
“Un hombre se define tan bien por sus comedias como por sus impulsos sinceros”
Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus
