Juan Felipe Herrera quotes

Beauty, suffering, power and culture are all related. We cannot tear away from reality. It is better to live with all things, then to cut ourselves off and fester in a segmented mind. (Juan Felipe Herrera)
Poetry, with the breath of the poet, the heart of her life, joined by millions, pushes forth with the creative forces bestowed upon us. A wall is a plaything before the positive. It will take time. Change comes - rumbling with letters and caesuras, chants, odd-angled rhymes and earthy people power. View quote

They are standing up and they're crying...and their emotion is coming from all the emotion we're experiencing collectively. View quote
