Quotes by Melba Escobar (?)

“La verdad es necesaria cuando hay justicia. Pero la verdad sin reparación envenena el alma”
― Melba Escobar, La casa de la belleza

“Madurez es también un cuerpo, un gesto, un rictus, un pasado más que un futuro. Madurez es carácter que borra los confines de lo etéreo para dibujar con cincel y desaparecer cuanto hay de promesa. Madurez es la progresiva desaparición de los trazos inacabados. Es convertirse en una persona específica, determinada. En mi caso, es ser quien soy, tenerlo cada vez más claro y estar dispuesta a asumirlo, para bien y para mal.”
― Melba Escobar, Cuando éramos felices pero no lo sabíamos
