Every view of the world that becomes extinct, every culture that disappears, diminishes a possibility of life

A civilization that denies death ends by denying life.

What characterizes a poem is its necessary dependence on words as much as its struggle to transcend them.

What sets worlds in motion is the interplay of differences, their attractions and repulsions. Life is plurality, death is uniformity. By suppressing differences and pecularities, by eliminating different civilizations and cultures, progress weakens life and favors death. The ideal of a single civilization for everyone, implicit in the cult of progress and technique, impoverishes and mutilates us. Every view of the world that becomes extinct, every culture that disappears, diminishes a possibility of life

Ruy-Sanchez's works of fiction are always amazing: adventure, poetry and intelligence in a new geometry of words... His writing has nerve and agility, his intelligence is sharp without being cruel, his mood is sympathetic without complicity.

My body, plowed by your body, will turn into a field where one is sown and a hundred reaped.

Love is the revelation of the other person's freedom.
