“Why not? Carry him around in a suitcase. People say, Where's your husband? all you do is open you bag, yell, Here he is! Like a silver cornet. Take him outa his case any old hour, play a tune, stash him away. Keep a little sandbox for him on the back porch.”
― Ray Bradbury, The Dwarf

“I went to the zoo once and saw this thing they call an anteater. That was quite enough for me.”

“because two bodies, naked and entwined,
leap over time, they are invulnerable,

no yesterday, no names, the truth of two
in a single body, a single soul,
oh total being...”
― Octavio Paz, Piedra de Sol = Sunstone
