Quotes by Marta Pérez-Carbonell (?)

“A while ago I read a study that showed the disappointment travelers’ brains register when, after having seen idyllic photographs of their destination, they actually reach it. Lying on a Caribbean beach, the breeze is sublime and the sea so inviting, but there is something that doesn’t quite match up with the photographs they saw before arriving. What changes, between the images of paradise and the reality? The fact that we ourselves are there, of course, with our mind and its particular miseries humming in the background. No coral reef can stem the deluge of ruminating thoughts each of us lugs around. And the fact is, idyllic locations are precisely so because they exist on the periphery of our judgment, but it’s a different story when we place ourselves slap-bang in the middle of the palm trees.”

“People usually say three’s a crowd, but I actually think that three is the oddest of all numbers, the most awkward figure there is. Two can be lovers and hurl their barbs at each other or constantly take each other’s sides; four can be divided however they see fit; but three is an impossible number,” he said.”

“One afternoon as I was coming out of class, I saw him leaning against the fence that separates the footpath from the part of campus with all the trees. I think it was the poet Alda Merini who said ‘I like the one who chooses with care the words he does not say,’ or something along those lines. Hans was a young man full of careful silences that for some reason I always heard loud and clear.”
