More quotes by Clotilde Betances Jaeger

Language has life because it lives in humanity...Language lives in me because it lives in everyone and everyone lives with it.

Every slave of a golden cage feels some hatred towards their master. Wondering the cause of such restlessness, they begin their emancipation.

The personal and the impersonal coincide because life itself impels them. Killing humanity kills language. Once the language is dead, the human self disappears.
