“I have traveled to many places but have no desire to leave New Mexico.” — Rudolfo Anaya Quote

“I have traveled to many places but have no desire to leave New Mexico.”

“My father was what you would call a cowboy, a vaquero; he worked out in the ranches with cattle. And my mother came from farmers down in the valley.”

“To me, the fact that the Mexican came North in search of a better life is a tremendous epic that hasn't been written. It's an odyssey that we know nothing about. And they came with a dream for a better life.”

“Never let go of that fiery sadness called desire.”

“If men could regard the events of their own lives with more open minds, they would frequently discover that they did not really desire the things they failed to obtain.”

“We'll all be riding that streetcar of desire.”
