“El pasado, se va diciendo, es sólo lo que recordamos, mientras lo demás ya no es pasado, sino olvido; y qué es el futuro sino lo que ignoramos y apenas presentimos.”
Sergio Ramírez, El caballo dorado

“Lo mío no ha sido sacrificio sino un deber que espero haber cumplido. Si Ud. toma las cosas como yo lo deseo, le digo que me sentiré feliz. Así es que nada de tristeza, que el deber que se cumple con la Patria es la mayor satisfacción que debe llevarse un hombre de bien como yo he tratado de serlo. Si toma las cosas con serenidad y con la idea absoluta de que he cumplido con mi más alto deber de nicaragüense, le estaré muy agradecido. Su hijo que siempre la quiso mucho, Rigoberto”
Sergio Ramírez, Margarita, está linda la mar

“Un filósofo de la vida debe echar siempre mano del lapicero porque no tiene derecho a que sus pensamientos se desperdicien. De lo contrario se convierte en un pensador inofensivo, como un león que ha perdido sus colmillos, y no hay cosa peor que un león obligado a régimen vegetariano.”
Sergio Ramírez, Ya nadie llora por mí
