Top 10 most inspiring quotes by Federico GarcIa Lorca
- To burn with desire and keep quiet about it is the greatest punishment we can bring on ourselves.
- But hurry, let’s entwine ourselves as one, our mouth broken, our soul bitten by love, so time discovers us safely destroyed.
- I know there is no straight road No straight road in this world Only a giant labyrinth Of intersecting crossroads.
- Today in my heart a vague trembling of stars and all roses are as white as my pain.
- Pero yo ya no soy yo Ni mi casa es ya mi casa. But now I am no longer I, nor is my house any longer my house.
- My head is full of fire and grief and my tongue runs wild, pierced with shards of glass.
- If blue is dream what then innocence? What awaits the heart if Love bears no arrows?
- The night below. We two. Crystal of pain. You wept over great distances. My ache was a clutch of agonies over your sickly heart of sand.
- If I told you the whole story it would never end…What’s happened to me has happened to a thousand woman.
- I put my head out of my window and see how much the wind’s knife wants to slice it off. On this unseen guillotine, I’ve placed the eyeless head of all my desires.
Federico García Lorca (1898-1936) was a renowned Spanish poet, playwright, and theater director. Born on June 5, 1898, in Fuente Vaqueros, a small town in Andalusia, Spain, he was raised in a cultured family that fostered his artistic talents from an early age.
Lorca’s works were deeply influenced by his rural upbringing and the cultural richness of Andalusia. He became associated with the Generation of ’27, a group of Spanish poets who sought to revitalize Spanish literature through avant-garde ideas. His poetry, known for its lyrical beauty and emotional depth, explored themes such as love, death, and the essence of Spanish folklore.
Apart from poetry, García Lorca excelled as a playwright. His most famous works include “Blood Wedding,” “Yerma,” and “The House of Bernarda Alba.” His plays combined traditional Spanish theater with innovative techniques, making him a leading figure in the Spanish theatrical scene.
However, Lorca’s life and career were tragically cut short. During the Spanish Civil War, he was arrested and executed without trial by Nationalist forces in August 1936, likely due to his left-wing sympathies and outspoken views against the fascist regime.
Despite his untimely death, García Lorca’s literary legacy endured, and his works continue to be celebrated worldwide for their profound impact on modern Spanish literature and their lasting contributions to the world of art and culture.
