“With him she felt no embarrassment, not even if they peed together to get rid of the stones, and since her whole life she had been told that she was like someone from the land of the moon, it seemed to her that she had finally met someone from her own land, and that was the principal thing in life, which she had never had.”
Milena Agus, From the Land of the Moon

“Yo creo que si queremos que una persona que nos cae antipática siga siendo antipática para siempre, debemos negarnos de plano a conocerla”
Milena Agus

“La diferencia entre cuando eres rico y famoso y cuando dejas de serlo es que, antes, todas las cosas raras que hacías se consideraban como la libre expresión del genio; después, se tienen por algo fastidioso e insoportable”
Milena Agus
