Eduardo Galeano Quotes About Language

Quotes about: Language

• My language is a feel-thinking language, feeling and thinking at once, that is why it is a celebration of life, and at once it is a denunciation of everything that is not allowed in life to be real life, it's plenitude.

  Eduardo Galeano

  Real, Thinking, Feelings

  Interview with Kevin Murphy, www.oregonlive.com. July 2, 2009.

• Reality is very, very contradictory, and so I try to write just perfecting what I see, what I read, what I feel, in a feel-thinking way. Not only giving ideas, or receiving ideas, or trying to explain something, but mainly feel-thinking, a feel-thinking language able to tie the heart and the mind, which have been divorced.

  Eduardo Galeano

  Writing, Heart, Reality

  Interview with Kevin Murphy, www.oregonlive.com. July 2, 2009.

• Our effectiveness depends on our capacity to be audacious and astute, clear and appealing. I would hope that we can create a language more fearless and beautiful than that used by conformist writers to greet the twilight.

  Eduardo Galeano

  Beautiful, Twilight, Effectiveness
