Quotes by Viola Canales (?)

“Stop thinking that nuns are sweet and kind like Maria in The Sound of Music. That's just a movie. Think of the evil old bruja in 'Hansel and Gretal.”

“I smiled, for now I understood that it was not an obsession with death that Mexicans had after all, but rather an acceptance of it - woven like a thick vine throughout our lives, helping us transcend death itself and compelling us to live even richer, more meaningful lives.”
― Viola Canales, The Tequila Worm
