“Don't sign your name
between worlds,

surmount
the manifold of meanings,

trust the tearstain,
learn to live.”
― Paul Celan, Glottal Stop

“Unbeing dead isn't being alive.”
― E. E. Cummings

“I can't sleep. There is a woman stuck between my eyelids. I would tell her to get out if I could. But there is a woman stuck in my throat”
― Eduardo Galeano

“I thought that the world was a vast system of signs, a conversation between giant beings. My actions, the cricket's saw, the star's blink, were nothing but pauses and syllables, scattered phrases from that dialogue. What word could it be, of which I was only a syllable? Who speaks the word? To whom is it spoken?”
― Octavio Paz
