Beers & Books CCLVXXX – John Hume
 |
| Difference is of the essence of humanity. Difference is an accident of birth and should therefore never be the source of hatred or conflict. The answer to difference is to respect it. Therein lies a most fundamental principle of peace: respect for diversity. |
John Hume (18 January 1937 – 3 August 2020)

Mo(o)nday Poetry
 |
| Dice la tarde: "Tengo sed de sombra!" Dice la luna: "Yo, sed de luceros." [...] Says the afternoon: "I'm thirsty for shadow!" Says the moon: "I want stars." |
 | ||
| Yo tengo sed de aromas y de risas. Sed de cantares nuevos Sin lunas y sin lirios, Y sin amores muertos. * I'm thirsty for scents and for laughter. Thirsty for new songs Without moons and without lilies, And without dead loves. |
Federico García Lorca (5 June 1898 – 19 August 1936)

Nâzım Hikmet had a dream
Yaşamak bir ağaç gibi tek ve hür
ve bir orman gibi kardeşçesine,
bu hasret bizim.
To live like a tree and at liberty
and brotherly like the trees of a forest,
this yearning is ours.
Nâzım Hikmet (15 January 1902 – 3 June 1963)
