Julio Cortázar

"The best literature is always a take [in the musical sense]; there is an implicit risk in its execution, a margin of danger that is the pleasure of the flight, of the love, carrying with it a tangible loss but also a total engagement that, on another level, lends the theater its unparalleled imperfection faced with the perfection of film. I don’t want to write anything but takes."

"All profound distraction opens certain doors. You have to allow yourself to be distracted when you are unable to concentrate."

"Only in dreams, in poetry, in play do we sometimes arrive at what we were before we were this thing that, who knows, we are."

"Come sleep with me: We won't make Love, Love will make us."

"In quoting others, we cite ourselves."

"Man has reached the moon, but twenty centuries ago a poet knew the enchantments that would make the moon come down to earth."

"“Come sleep with me: We won't make Love, Love will make us.”"

"“In quoting others, we cite ourselves.”"

"Creo que todos tenemos un poco de esa bella locura que nos mantiene andando cuando todo alrededor es tan insanamente cuerdo."

"Come sleep with me: We won't make Love, Love will make us."
