“At times I think of human relationships as something soft like sand or water, and by pouring them into particular vessels we give them shape. So a mother’s relationship with her daughter is poured into a vessel marked ‘mother and child’, and the relationship takes the contours of its container and is held inside there, for better or worse. Maybe some unhappy friends would have been perfectly contented as sisters, or married couples as parents and children, who knows. But what would it be like to form a relationship with no preordained shape of any kind? Just to pour the water out and let it fall. I suppose it would take no shape, and run off in all directions.”
― Sally Rooney, Beautiful World, Where Are You

“Most of our attempts throughout human history to describe the difference between right and wrong have been feeble and cruel and unjust, but that the difference still remains- beyond ourselves, beyond each specific culture, beyond every individual person who has ever lived or died, And we spend our lives trying to know that difference and to live by it, trying to love other people instead of hating them, and there is nothing else that matters on the earth.”
― Sally Rooney, Beautiful World, Where Are You

“Y es que, por encima de formas y formatos, más allá de los rollos de papiro, los libros de papel o los lectores electrónicos, está la perenne pasión del ser humano por que le cuenten historias.”
― Santiago Posteguillo, La noche en que Frankenstein leyó el Quijote

“Sólo se escribe la mitad de un libro: de la otra mitad debe ocuparse el lector.”
