Juan Ramon Jimenez

Sharp nostalgia, infinite and terrible, for what I already possess.

The greatest assassin of life is haste, the desire to reach things before the right time which means overreaching them.

The background reveals the true being and state of being of the man or thing. If I do not possess the background I make the man transparent the thing transparent.

Literature is a state of culture, poetry is a state of grace, before and after culture.

If they give you ruled paper, write the other way.
