“But in his acceptance speech in Stockholm, Pablo Neruda, born Neftalí Ricardo Reyes Basoalto in the lonesome town of Parral, Chile, proclaimed that ‘there is no insurmountable solitude.’ He added: ‘All paths lead to the same goal: to convey to others what we are. And we must pass through solitude and difficulty, isolation and silence in order to reach forth to the enchanted place where we can dance our clumsy dance and sing our sorrowful song.’”
Can’t recall where I snagged this from originally, but I pull it up every once in a while to remind me where I'm going.
