“Una palabra no doma el cuerpo. Ninguna palabra doma la pena. Ninguna palabra la espanta. Ninguna palabra la logra decir de verdad.”
― Federico Falco, Los llanos

“My body needs it—the hot baths, the care, the soft water, the perfume, the warmth. I take on the colors of the flowers, the bloom, the delicacy. It becomes me.”
― Anaïs Nin

“I cannot differentiate between tears and music' (Nietzsche). Whoever is not immediately struck by the profundity of this statement has not lived for a minute in the intimacy of music. I know no other music than that of tears. Born out of the loss of paradise, music gives birth to the symbols of this loss: tears.”
― Emil M. Cioran, Tears and Saints

“The body has been made so problematic for women that it has often seemed easier to shrug it off and travel as a disembodied spirit.”
― Adrienne Rich, Of Woman Born: Motherhood as Experience and Institution
