“Pero nada en este mundo puede ocurrir como lo hemos imaginado, imaginarlo es anular el futuro, qué maravilloso podríamos tornar el destino si jamás tratáramos de anticiparlo en la fantasía,”
Germán Espinosa, La Tejedora de coronas

“Al cobijo de ciertas corrientes, he creído a ratos que nuestro inconsciente alberga la totalidad del universo, como una gota de agua en la cual se copia una noche estrellada.”
Germán Espinosa

“Si, como piensa en panteísmo, en nuestro inconsciente se cifra átomo por átomo, el universo, no será arriesgado pensar que en los sueños, destilación depurada de ese inconsciente, podamos algún día hallar la clave del universo.”
Germán Espinosa
