Day and night I always dream with open eyes." - José Martí

To educate is to give man the keys to the world, which are independence and love, and to give him strength to journey on his own, light of step, a spontaneous and free being.

People can only be free if they are truly educated.

Liberty is the right of every man to be honest, to think and to speak without hypocrisy.

Everything that divides men, everything that separates or herds men together in categories, is a sin against humanity.

Other famous men, those of much talk and few deeds, soon evaporate. Action is the dignity of greatness.

To change masters is not to be free.

Men are like the stars; some generate their own light while others reflect the brilliance they receive.

To busy oneself with what is futile when one can do something useful, to attend to what is simple when one has the mettle to attempt what is difficult, is to strip talent of its dignity.

In a time of crisis, the peoples of the world must rush to get to know each other.

Amor cuerdo, no es amor. (Sane love, is not love)

Grief is an amputation, but hope is incurable haemophilia: you bleed and bleed and bleed. Like Schrödinger’s cat inside a box you can never ever open.

Heartbreak sounds like dead silence. For a second. Then the world crashes and continues around you.

Virtue, should there be anyone who still ignores the fact, always finds pitfalls on the extremely difficult path of perfection, but sin and vice are so favoured by fortune...

So when you're lonely or sad or bad or blue remember where laughter's hiding . . . it's hiding inside of YOU!

Fear is sand in the machinery of life.

Being in a ship is being in a jail with the chance of being drowned.

The process of casting a movie has many complicated variables...

I never touch coffee or other caffeinated drinks.

We favor hypotheses for their simplicity and explanatory power, much as the architect of the world might have done in choosing which possibility to create.

Our minds possess by nature an insatiable desire to know the truth.
