Solo el misterio nos hace vivir. Solo el misterio. — Federico García Lorca | Printable Wall Art

“Solo el misterio nos hace vivir. Solo el misterio.”
“Only mystery makes us live. Only mystery.”

Words by Federico García Lorca (1898-1936) — Poet and playwright.

About this quote

Lorca suggests that human existence gains its vitality from what remains unknown and unexplained. When everything is mapped, analysed, and predictable, life loses its wonder. It is the presence of intrigue, magic, and unanswered questions that keeps us curious and emotionally alive. Embracing life's inherent mysteries fosters creativity, deeper feeling, and a profound connection to the world around us.

This line comes from the Spanish poet and playwright Federico García Lorca, recorded in his personal reflections on poetry in the 1930s. It reflects the surrealist and symbolist influences that shaped his dramatic and poetic work.
