Federico García Lorca

The civil war is a cancer that eats the soul of Spain.

In the theater, everything is illusion, yet it reveals the deepest truths.

I feel the duende in the black sounds of the tambourine.

Life is a dream, but the theater makes it real.

The green, green that I love is the color of hope.

Women in my plays are not victims; they are forces of nature.

The bullfight is the only artistic spectacle where death is a participant.

Poetry is the union of two words that no one thought would fit together.

In Granada, the dead are more alive than the living.

I write to exorcise my demons.

Theater must be popular, like the air we breathe.

Silence is the language of the soul.

The olive tree is the backbone of Andalusia.

Art is the cry of the soul against the monotony of life.

In Blood Wedding, passion is the knife that cuts through society.

I am a homosexual, and I suffer because of it.

The wind from the sea brings the scent of freedom.

Theater is the poetry of the body.

Death is the only true advisor.

In Yerma, sterility is the greatest tragedy.
