Quotes by Jorge Volpi (?)

“The truth. Why are we so obsessed with the truth—begging for it, asking for it, demanding it, when all we really want to do is confirm our own vision of reality?”
― Jorge Volpi

“How absurd life becomes with someone else: everything is interpreted; even the most trivial thing is imbued with symbolic value.”

“Me propongo contar, pues, la trama del siglo. De mi siglo. Mi versión sobre cómo el azar ha gobernado al mundo y sobre cómo los hombres de ciencia tratamos en vano de domesticar su furia.”
― Jorge Volpi, En busca de Klingsor
