FG Lorca

Here’s a powerful quote by Federico García Lorca that beautifully intertwines the themes of stillness and death:

“In each thing there is an insinuation of death. Stillness, silence, serenity are all apprenticeships.”

— Federico García Lorca 

This line suggests that every aspect of life—no matter how calm or serene—carries a subtle hint of mortality. Lorca seems to be saying that stillness, silence, and serenity aren’t simply calm states—they’re lessons or “apprenticeships” preparing us to understand and perhaps accept death.

Another resonant Lorca quote, touching on mortality from a slightly different angle, is:

“As I have not worried to be born, I do not worry to die.” 

This expresses a peaceful acceptance of death’s inevitability—if we can’t recall our birth, why fear our end?
