“What did he mean by "society"? The plural of human beings?”

“One heart is not connected to another through harmony alone. They are, instead, linked deeply through their wounds. Pain linked to pain, fragility to fragility. There is no silence without a cry of grief, no forgiveness without bloodshed, no acceptance without a passage through acute loss. That is what lies at the root of true harmony.”

“La naturaleza, ya lo hemos dicho, mira hacia adelante. La naturaleza divide a los seres vivos en dos clases: los que llegan y los que parten. A los primeros los inclina hacia la luz; a los segundos, hacia la sombra. De ahí un distanciamiento que es fatalidad en los viejos e involuntario en los jóvenes. Ese distanciamiento, al principio imperceptible, se acrecienta lentamente, como la separación en las ramas. Las ramas, sin desprenderse del tronco, se alejan de él. No es culpa suya. La juventud va a donde hay alegría,a las fiestas, a las vivas claridades, a los amores. La vejez se dirige a su fin. No se pierden de vista, pero ya no se abrazan. Los jóvenes sienten el frescor de la vida; los viejos, el frío de la tumba. No carguemos, pues, contra esos pobres chicos.”

“People talk of “social outcasts.” The words apparently denote the miserable losers of the world, the vicious ones, but I feel as though I have been a “social outcast” from the moment I was born. If ever I meet someone society has designated as an outcast, I invariably feel affection for him, an emotion which carries me away in melting tenderness.”

“Those who are too lazy and comfortable to think for themselves and be their own judges obey the laws. Others sense their own laws within them.”
