Quotes by Baltasar Porcel (?)

“Tu n'es pas venue. Je t'ai attendue des heures ou des jours, je ne sais. Je ne le sais pas parce que j'ai cessé d'être moi-même pour devenir une masse uniquement sensible à ton absence, comme si dans le vide pouvait se former un monceau de douleur, d'angoisses, comme si le néant avait un être.”

“Peró Abrines aviat es consolava: Mallorca i la vida, les dues tan sòlides, ¿no consistien, davant la novetat, més a rebutjar sense aclarir que no a acceptar després d’escoltar?”
― Baltasar Porcel, Olympia A Medianoche

“Era l’home alguna cosa més que allò que posseïa? Fins a la data havia cregut Bernabé inconscientment en l’esforç, en la vitalitat. Però allí es va sentir feble, sol. D’Herodes, de les seves passions, només restaven aquelles pedres disperses i unes monedes d’or: minerals… Aprenia la vandàlica lliçó.
A Assinie va matar el senyor Ulano i va voler-ho fer també amb el meu pare, perquè sense aquells minerals del tresor, aquells o uns altres, ni ell, Bernabé, ni cap altre ésser humà no eres capaços de resistir, ni que fos temporalment, l’erosió, el cataclisme...”
