Vicente Aleixandre Quotes & Sayings

I would say a few words
in your ear. A doubtful man has little faith.
Live a long time and it gets dark, and suddenly you know you don't
know yourself.
But I'd say them even so. Since my eyes repeat what they take in:
your beauty, your name, the river's sound, the woods, the soul on its own. — Vicente Aleixandre

Hours of solitude, hours of creation, hours of meditation. Solitude and meditation gave me an awareness, a perspective which I have never lost: that of solidarity with the rest of mankind. — Vicente Aleixandre

Poetry is a succession of questions which the poet constantly poses. — Vicente Aleixandre

Poetry must be human. If it is not human, it is not poetry. — Vicente Aleixandre
