“I wish I knew how my parents remembered their younger selves, or that I had even an inkling of what they thought of their place in the world, back when their lives were confined
by the small towns of their Colombian childhoods. I would give anything to spend an hour with my father when he was a rascal of nine, or with my mother when she was a spirited girl of eleven, both unable to suspect the extraordinary lives that awaited them. And so, in the back of my mind is the preoccupation that perhaps I didn't know them well enough, and certainly regret that I didn't ask them more about the fine print of their lives, their most private thoughts, their greatest hopes and fears. It's possible that they felt the same about us, for who can fully know their own children?”

“Au commencement était le rire puis, après le rire, vint le verbe, pour enquêter sur le rire

Mais le verbe ne sût pas comment déchiffrer le rire et, à force de parler, le verbe déssècha les rires
Il les débarrassa de leur esprit, du spasme

Personne ne lâche un éclat de rire, de peur d'être défiguré”
― Rodrigo Garcia, GOLGOTA PICNIC
