Abhijit Naskar
“Mother brings us into the world, mother can take us out.”
Abhijit Naskar, Sonnets From The Mountaintop

“Sí: para tener hijos había que ser inteligente. Aunque una tortuga fuese muy distinta a un ser humano, en ese momento Silver comprendió claramente por qué su madre deseaba tanto volver a hacerlo. No era solo por tener otro bebé: también se trataba de experimentar esa sensación, por inexplicable que fuese, de formar parte de la energía de la creación.”
Hannah Gold, La playa de las tortugas
