94 Quotes by Venezuelan authors

Venezuelan Flag

Venezuelan voices move between mischief and melancholy, carrying the salt of the Caribbean and the dust of the llanos. Sayings sharpened in queues and fiestas lean on humor to name hunger, longing, and sudden luck. Literature listens to guacamayas crossing the Ávila, to guayoyo at dawn, to the joropo’s heel-tap, and turns them into quiet rebellion. These quotes savor arepa warmth, neighborly teasing, and stubborn hope, cadences where tenderness, irony, and resilience mingle, inventing light even when the power flickers.
