" "El alma humana tiene una gran necesidad de blancura. Desde que lo blanco se oscurece, la desdicha empieza. La práctica y conciencia de todas las virtudes, la posesión de las mejores cualidades, la arrogancia de los más nobles sacrificios no bastan a consolar el alma de un solo extravío.

Additional quotes by José Martí
Mucho, señora, daría
Por tender sobre tu espalda
Tu cabellera bravía,
Tu cabellera de gualda:
Despacio la tendería,
Callado la besaría.
Por sobre la oreja fina
Baja lujoso el cabello,
Lo mismo que una cortina
Que se levanta hacia el cuello.
La oreja es obra divina
De porcelana de China.
Mucho, señora, te diera
Por desenredar el nudo
De tu roja cabellera
Sobre tu cuello desnudo:
Muy despacio la esparciera,
Hilo por hilo la abriera
