“It is not often that you see life and fiction take each other by the hand and dance.”
Lawrence Thornton, Imagining Argentina

“They can see everything they want to, but never forget that they cannot see beyond the distortion of their imagination where there is no color and everything exists in black and white. And that is why we will survive, because they do not have what is necessary to defeat us. The real war is between our imagination and theirs, what we can see and what they are blinded to. Do not despair. None of them can see far enough, and so long as we do not let them violate our imagination we will survive.”
Lawrence Thornton, Imagining Argentina

“People are torn between the pathetic safety of not knowing, and the desire to know.”
Lawrence Thornton, Imagining Argentina
