Henry David Thoreau
“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms, and, if it proved to be mean, why then to get the whole and genuine meanness of it, and publish its meanness to the world; or if it were sublime, to know it by experience, and be able to give a true account of it in my next excursion.”
Henry David Thoreau

Virginia Woolf
“Life is difficult; facts uncompromising; and the passage to that fabled land where our brightest hopes are extinguished, our frail barks founder in darkness, one that needs, above all, courage, truth, and the power to endure.”
Virginia Woolf, To the Lighthouse

Virginia Woolf
“She felt... how life, from being made up of little separate incidents which one lived one by one, became curled and whole like a wave which bore one up with it and threw one down with it, there, with a dash on the beach.”
Virginia Woolf, To the Lighthouse

Alejandro Zambra
“Sería preferible cerrar el libro, cerrar los libros, y enfrentar, sin más, no la vida, que es muy grande, sino la frágil armadura del presente.”
Alejandro Zambra, The Private Lives of Trees

Alejandro Zambra
“Violeta Parra y Emily Dickinson, ellas encabezan la lista de mujeres solas, ellas hablan con nadie en el jardín.”
Alejandro Zambra, The Private Lives of Trees
