Quote by Octavio Paz

"The poet's task is to imagine that which does not exist."

"Love is an attempt at penetrating another being, but it can only partially succeed because we are all prisoners of our own consciousness."

"Solitude is the profoundest fact of the human condition."

"Man is a being who is trying to become."

"The pen is mightier than the sword."

"Literature opens the mind to new worlds"

"The interesting thing about books is that they're made of words."

"Literature captures the essence of what it means to be human."
