I tell me: Let these words be footsteps, because I have a long way to travel. Let the words walk the dirty streets. Let them make their way across the crying grass. Let them stand and breathe and pant smoke in winter evenings. And when they're tired and have fallen down, let them buckle to their feet ad arc around me, watchful. I want these words to be actions. Give them flesh and bones, I say to me, and eyes of hunger and desire, so they can write and fight me through the night.

But those daring ones sustained by that on which they expend themselves—in order thus to preserve the ultimate grandeur of existence.
~ Martin Heidegger
La renuncia no quita. La renuncia da. Da la fuerza inagotable de lo sencillo. El aliento (del camino de campo) hace morar en un largo origen.
~ Martin Heidegger
