Octavio Paz
“Deserve your dream.”

Octavio Paz
“Solitude is the profoundest fact of the human condition. Man is the only being who knows he is alone, and the only one who seeks out another. His nature - if that word can be used in reference to man, who has ‘invented’ himself by saying ‘no’ to nature - consists in his longing to realize himself in another. Man is nostalgia and a search for communion. Therefore, when he is aware of himself he is aware of his lack of another, that is, of his solitude.”
Octavio Paz, The Labyrinth of Solitude and Other Writings

“Beyond myself, somewhere,
I wait for my arrival.”
Octavio Paz, The Collected Poems, 1957-1987

Beryl Markham
“I look at my yesterdays for months past, and find them as good a lot of yesterdays as anybody might want. I sit there in the firelight and see them all. The hours that made them were good, and so were the moments that made the hours. I have had responsibilities and work, dangers and pleasure, good friends, and a world without walls to live in.”
Beryl Markham, West with the Night
