"Let the earth look at me, and bless me, for now I am fecund and sacred, like the palms and the furrows."

Writing tends to cheer me; it always soothes my spirit and blesses me with the gift of an innocent, tender, childlike day. It is the sensation of having spent a few hours in my homeland, with my customs, free whims, my total freedom.

— Gabriela Mistral
