Love is one of the answers humankind invented to stare death in the face: time ceases to be a measure, and we can briefly know paradise.
Octavio Paz
Man does not speak because he thinks; he thinks because he speaks. Or rather, speaking is no different than thinking: to speak is to think.
Octavio Paz
Man, even man debased by the neocapitalism and pseudosocialism of our time, is a marvelous being because he sometimes speaks. Language is the mark, the sign, not of his fall but of his original innocence. Through the Word we may regain the lost kingdom and recover powers we possessed in the far-distant past.
Octavio Paz
Social criticism begins with grammar and the re-establishing of meanings.
Octavio Paz

Octavio Paz

Octavio Paz

Octavio Paz

Octavio Paz

Quite from the main opinion he held once
Of fantasy, of dreams, and ceremonies.
Octavio Paz
Writers, you know, are the beggars of Western society.
