My philosophy is fundamentally sad, but I’m not a sad man, and I don’t believe I sadden anyone else. In other words, the fact that I don’t put my philosophy into practice saves me from its evil spell, or, rather, my faith in the human race is stronger then my intellectual analysis of it; there lies the fountain of youth in which my heart is continually bathing.
Antonio MachadoThe unpublished manuscript is like an uncon-fessed sin that festers in the soul, corrupting and contaminating it.
Antonio MachadoLast night as I was sleeping, I dreamt - marvellous error! - That it was God I had here inside my heart.
