Federico García Lorca
“My head is full of fire

Federico García Lorca, Three Tragedies: Blood Wedding, Yerma, Bernarda Alba

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
“What comes from the heart goes to the heart”
samuel taylor coleridge

Nikola Tesla
“This work somehow awakened my dormant powers of will and I began to practice self-control. At first my resolutions faded like snow in April, but in a little while I conquered my weakness and felt a pleasure I never knew before – that of doing as I willed. In the course of time this vigorous mental exercise became second to nature. At the outset my wishes had to be subdued but gradually desire and will grew to be identical.

Nikola Tesla, My Inventions: The Autobiography of Nikola Tesla

Federico García Lorca
“I will always be on the side of those who have nothing and who are not even allowed to enjoy the nothing they have in peace.”
Federico García Lorca

Federico García Lorca
“To burn with desire and keep quiet about it is the greatest punishment we can bring on ourselves.”
Federico García Lorca, Blood Wedding and Yerma
