Carmen Martín Gaite Quote

Solitude is admired and desired when it is not suffered, but the human need to share things is evident.

If there's one thing I've learned in life, it's not to waste time trying to change someone else's way of being.

Man is a lonely multitude of people, who seeks the physical presence of others to imagine that we are all together.

The testimony of women is to see what is outside from within. If there is one characteristic that can differentiate women's discourse, it is that framing.

Sometimes in the dark, in the complicated, truth is touched.

that lying is due to the inability to shout out for others to accept you as you are.

The absence must be allowed to hurt as much as it wants and transformed into something good, now I know. It's not about hastily replacing it with other presences, but about living it and letting it distill knowledge and goodness, bluntly, like what you did, rejecting substitutes.

Indecisions are also made, stopping to do is also a way of doing.

I know. I complicate my life, I ask myself questions, and I get into trouble. I say what I think and what I feel; I'm not afraid of what others think of me. And I'm happy, despite everything, being who I am.
