“Todos vivimos en un infierno, Elena, todos, pero no le pasamos la factura a nadie. ¿Sabes por qué? Porque cada uno de nosotros elige su propio infierno, aquel en el que se encuentra más cómodo. Sé que a veces desprecias mi afición al dinero y que te has desligado por completo de mis negocios, de nuestros negocios, porque también son tuyos. Pues bien, gracias a esos negocios puedo costearme los infiernos que quiero y no ando por ahí contándole a nadie de mis desgracias. Lo que te ocurre a ti es que todavía ignoras en qué infierno quieres vivir. Averígualo, date el tiempo que necesites y cuando lo sepas dímelo. Creo que podré pagártelo por caro que resulte. Entretanto, procuremos tener un poco de calma, por favor.”
― Juan José Millás, La soledad era esto

“Human relationships were strange. I mean, you were with one person a while, eating and sleeping and living with them, loving them, talking to them, going places together, and then it stopped. Then there was a short period when you weren't with anybody, then another woman arrived, and you ate with her and fucked her, and it all seemed so normal, as if you had been waiting just for her and she had been waiting for you. I never felt right being alone; sometimes it felt good but it never felt right.”
― Charles Bukowski, Women

“Act in such a way that you treat humanity, whether in your own person or in the person of any other, never merely as a means to an end, but always at the same time as an end.”
