“I find my data first in myself, not first in the poets. For if I did not find it in myself, I would not be able to find it in the poets.”

“I consider myself a poet first and a musician second. I live like a poet and I'll die like a poet.”

“Esther, however, was the only woman who understood one very simple thing: in order to be able to find her, I first had to find myself.”

“Then I rise disembodied from the dark to grasp and attach myself like a homeless parasite to the shape of my identity and its position in space and time. At first, I cannot find my way, I cannot find myself where I left myself, someone has removed all trace of me.”

“I am the poet of the Body and I am the poet of the Soul,The pleasures of heaven are with me and the pains of hell are with me,The first I graft and increase upon myself, the latter I translateinto a new tongue.”

“Even if I were not able to find my sword, the pilgrimage along the Road to Santiago was going to help me to find myself.”
