Sara Pascoe
“I have decided it's my mind that's woman. It's my narrator. It's my relationship to myself, and oddly, nothing at all to do with my body.”
Sara Pascoe

Steven D. Levitt
“Ya estamos completamente acostumbrados a las falsas proclamaciones públicas de los políticos. Pero los votantes también mienten.”
Steven D. Levitt, Freakonomics

Junot Díaz
“The thoughts he put in her head. Someone should’ve arrested him for it.”
Junot Díaz, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao

Paullina Simons
“The feeling he had had all his young life - that he was brought on this earth for something special - had not left Alexander, not quite; what it did was dissipate inside him, became translucent in his blood vessels. It no longer pulsed through his body. He was no longer filled with a sense of purpose as he traveled through his adolescence. He was filled with a sense of despair.

My childhood was good, he thought. And my adolescence - I could have lived through it all. I could have lived through it all if only I continued to have the feeling that at the end of childhood, at the end of adolescence, there was something else in this life that would be mine, that I could make with my bare hands, and once I had made it, I could say, I did this to my life. I made my life so.

Hope.

It was gone from Alexander on this sunny crisp Sunday, and the feeling of purpose had vanished, was vanquished in his veins.”
Paullina Simons, Tatiana and Alexander

“We were left with nothing because of a love like acid that ate its way through our entire family.”
R.D. Ronald, The Elephant Tree
