Quotes by Fernando González (?)

“Si el hombre estuviera asegurado contra todos los accidentes y dolores, no tendría estímulo ninguno para procurarse la felicidad. (...) Si se pudiese organizar una sociedad de la que se descartase toda contingencia adversa permanecería estacionaria. Porque el hombre es imperfecto, es dinámico: porque sufre, reacciona...”

“¡Oh, Vida! ¡Nada deseo, porque te tengo! ¡Soy Vida! Contigo siempre, siempre... Lo que Tú no eres no es; ¡el deseador es imbécil! ¡Imbécil, que posee un tesoro y se angustia por un centavo falso! ¡Hideputas ideólogos, conferenciantes, escritores, filósofos, teólogos! ¡Sólo Tú, sólo existes Tú y todo eres Tú, amor mío, que eres yo mismo! ¡Te tengo tan cerca! ¡Aquí te tengo! ¡Estoy reposando en Ti, sobre Ti, dentro de Ti! ¡Eres yo mismo, amor mío!...”

“El arte proviene de embriaguez causada por los instintos vitales en su cúspide. El verdadero arte huele a semilla, a semen, a humus. Es ceiba retorcida que extiende sus raíces a los ríos, pantanos y descomposiciones. La bonitura es arreglo, es artificio, es planta sin raíces y mútila.”
