To find a kiss of yours

what would I give

A kiss that strayed from your lips

dead to love

My lips taste

the dirt of shadows

A mí ya no me podéis cambiar. Yo he nacido poeta y artista como el que nace cojo, como el que nace ciego, como el que nace guapo. Dejadme las alas en su sitio, que yo os respondo que volaré bien.

– Federico García Lorca

"En este mundo yo siempre soy y seré partidario de los pobres. Yo siempre seré partidario de los que no tienen nada y hasta la tranquilidad de la nada se les niega."

["In this world I am and will always be a supporter of the poors. I will always be a supporter of those who have nothing, and even the tranquility of the nothingness is denied to them."]

"Yo, si tuviera hambre y estuviera desvalido en la calle no pediría un pan; sino que pediría medio pan y un libro."
