You’ve gone far away to a place with no horses and very little grass, and you’re studying how to write a story with a happy ending. If you can write that ending for yourself, maybe you can come back.

About This Quote

When the poet Pablo Neruda said, “You’ve gone far away to a place with no horses and very little grass, and you’re studying how to write a story with a happy ending. If you can write that ending for yourself, maybe you can come back.” Neruda was referring to the fact that some people need to get away from their current situation or environment in order to find a new beginning. When they do, they can come back with a fresh perspective and a new plan of action.
