Quotes by Juan Ramon Jimenez

“If they give you ruled paper, write the other way.”

“I have a feeling that my boat has struck, down there in the depths, against a great thing. And nothing happens! Nothing ... Silence ... Waves. Nothing happens? Or Has everything Happened and we are standing now, quietly, in the new life?”

“Literature is a state of culture, poetry is a state of grace, before and after culture.”

“Sharp nostalgia, infinite and terrible, for what I already possess.”

A permanent state of transition is mans most noble condition.

Each day each hour an entire life.

Literature is a state of culture, poetry is a state of grace, before and after culture.
