More From Octavio Paz
- "Literature is the expression of a feeling of deprivation, a recourse against a sense of something missing. But the contrary is also true: language is what makes us human. It is a recourse against the meaningless noise and silence of nature and history."
- "Art is an invention of aesthetics, which in turn is an invention of philosophers… What we call art is a game."
- "To read a poem is to hear it with our eyes; to hear it is to see it with our ears."
