“After playing Chopin, I feel as if I had been weeping over sins that I had never committed, and mourning over tragedies that were not my own. Music always seems to me to produce that effect.

― Oscar Wilde

“We all owe death a life.”
― Salman Rushdie, Midnight’s Children

“Los libros están delante de nosotros; nos invitan a reposar en la caricia del dedo y del mirar –nos relegamos en ellos, absortos–, a despreciar los viles lazos que nos retienen a la milenaria Miseria humana.”
