Quotes by Anjanette Delgado (?)

“You think you’ll be ok because in the end your mother will still be your mother. You don’t know that she’ll be changed. Loving you still, of course, but what you find out later is that her love now tastes different from all that time spent training to withstand distance, containing herself in order to live with impotence so strong, the phrase “so near and yet so far” was made for it. You think if you’d known all this you’d be able to live with the results of your choices, never again wondering what would’ve happened if you’d never left.”
― Anjanette Delgado, The Clairvoyant of Calle Ocho

“Birth and death are perched on a precipice, my dear one; the years in between, we cling to love.”

“Crecí en un entorno moderadamente feliz, con más apreturas que excesos pero sin grandes carencias ni frustraciones. Me crié en una calle estrecha de un barrio castizo de Madrid, junto a la plaza de la Paja, a dos pasos del Palacio Real. A tiro de piedra del bullicio imparable del corazón de la ciudad, en un ambiente de ropa tendida, olor a lejía, voces de vecinas y gatos al sol. Asistí a una rudimentaria escuela en una entreplanta cercana: en sus bancos, previstos para dos cuerpos, nos acomodábamos”
