“There is a kind of man who appears to be fashioned in circles. His body is a collection of curves topped by a round and shining head. His soul is as round and polished as his body, with no mad and jagged corners to scarify society’s epidermis.

“Cuando era chica le preguntaba a mi papá cuál era su sueño. «Que nadie me huevee», contestaba y después me decía: «Lo importante no es cuál es mi sueño, sino cuál es el tuyo».

Hoy día me preguntaron cuál es mi sueño, tengo trenita y siete años y contesté: que nadie me huevee.”
