"The peasants of the Asturias believe that..." - Quote by Victor Hugo

“You ask me what forces me to speak? a strange thing; my conscience.”

“Nobody knows like a woman how to say things at the same time sweet and profound. Sweetness and depth, this is all of woman; this is all of Heaven.”

“A thousand men enslaved fear one beast free.”

“Come away, O human child: To the waters and the wild with a fairy, hand in hand, For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.”

“The very dogs were all asleep, and the flies, drunk with moist sugar in the grocer's shop, forgot their wings and briskness, and baked to death in dusty corners of the window.”

“When life begins we are tender and weak When life ends we are stiff and rigid All things, including the grass and trees, are soft and pliable in life and dry in brittle in death So the soft and supple are the companion of life While the stiff and unyielding are the companions of death An army that cannot yield will be defeated A tree that cannot bend will crack in the wind Thus by Nature's own decree the hard and strong are defeated while the soft and gentle are triumphant”

“Though you may hear me holler, And you may see me cry-- I'll be dogged, sweet baby, If you gonna see me die.”

“For me, survival is the ability to cope with difficulties, with circumstances, and to overcome them.”

“Don't live to fight, fight to live.”
