Text Quotes
The value of e-commerce is not in the e, but in the commerce  (Octavio Paz Quotes) Love is not a desire for beauty; it is a yearning for completion  (Octavio Paz Quotes) Light is time thinking about itself  (Octavio Paz Quotes) Every moment is nothing without end  (Octavio Paz Quotes) Loving means getting rid of names  (Octavio Paz Quotes) Without democracy freedom is a chimera  (Octavio Paz Quotes) Writers, you know, are the beggars of Western society  (Octavio Paz Quotes) To love is to undress our names  (Octavio Paz Quotes) The world is born when two people kiss  (Octavio Paz Quotes) Solitude is the profoundest fact  (Octavio Paz Quotes) If society abolishes poetry it commits spiritual suicide  (Octavio Paz Quotes) A human being is never what he is but the self he seeks  (Octavio Paz Quotes) When we learn to speak, we learn to translate  (Octavio Paz Quotes) Love is born at first sight; the friendship of a frequent and lengthy exchange  (Octavio Paz Quotes) In antiquity, a woman might be an object of worship or desire, but never of love  (Octavio Paz Quotes) A civilization that denies death ends by denying life  (Octavio Paz Quotes) What characterizes a poem is its necessary dependence on words as much as its struggle to transcend them  (Octavio Paz Quotes) Surrealism is not a school of poetry but a movement of liberation...

A violet. Is that all? An artistic style is a living entity, a continuous process of invention. It can never be imposed from without; born of the profoundest tendencies within a society, its direction is to a certain extent unpredictable, in much the same way as the eventual configuration of a tree’s branches  (Octavio Paz Quotes) There is nothing sacred or untouchable except the freedom to think. Without criticism, that is to say, without rigor and experimentation, there is no science, without criticism there is no art or literature. I would also say that without criticism there is no healthy society  (Octavio Paz Quotes) With great difficulty advancing by millimeters each year, I carve a road out of the rock. For millenniums my teeth have wasted and my nails broken to get there, to the other side, to the light and the open air. And now that my hands bleed and my teeth tremble, unsure in a cavity cracked by thirst and dust, I pause and contemplate my work. I have spent the second part of my life breaking the stones, drilling the walls, smashing the doors, removing the obstacles I placed between the light and myself in the first part of my life  (Octavio Paz Quotes) For every language that becomes extinct, an image of man disappears  (Octavio Paz Quotes) Reality is a staircase going neither up nor down, we don’t move; today is today, always is today  (Octavio Paz Quotes) By suppressing differences and peculiarities, by eliminating different civilizations and cultures, progress weakens life and favors death  (Octavio Paz Quotes) Deserve your dream  (Octavio Paz Quotes) We are condemned to kill time, thus we die bit by bit  (Octavio Paz Quotes) What distinguishes modern art from the art of other ages is criticism  (Octavio Paz Quotes) To fight evil is to fight ourselves  (Octavio Paz Quotes) Art is what remains of religion: the dance above the yawning abyss  (Octavio Paz Quotes)
