Quotes by Marcos Aguinis (?)

“I know that, in speaking the truth, I am placing my life at risk. I may already be condemned, yet I am filled with profound inner peace. Only someone who has had to bear a double identity, spending years in fear and shame while hiding what he knows to be his authentic self, can know the depth of such suffering. Believe me that it is not only a burden, but a blade that stabs you even in your dreams.”
― Marcos Aguinis, Against the Inquisition

“What I love best is that God goes to so much trouble on behalf of minor characters.”
― Marcos Aguinis, The Passion According to Carmela

“El buen médico debe reconocer sus limitaciones. Cuidado con los éxitos imposibles, porque los paga el enfermo. A veces, lo único que cabe hacer, porque algo hay que hacer, es ayudarlo a bien morir.”
― Marcos Aguinis, La gesta del marrano
