Anthony Doerr
“We live through books; we have adventures in them, we lead alternative lives through them. We expand our memories through them. And that sometimes art can offer us more intense experiences of the world than life itself can.”
Anthony Doerr

Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
“In the Gita, maya becomes the creative power of the Godhead, the primal creative energy that makes unity appear as the world of innumerable separate things with “name and form.” Later”
Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa, The Bhagavad Gita

Samuel Beckett
“It is midnight. Rain is beating against the window." It was not midnight. It was not raining.”
Beckett, Samuel

Betty Mahmoody
“Sé que mi familia es así pero este silencio me pesa. Tengo la impresión de tener millones de cosas que decir que, en el fondo, no interesan a nadie. Me viene a la memoria lo que decían los supervivientes de los campos de la última guerra al volver a su hogar: las pesadillas no se cuentan. Los demás no imaginan este género de pesadillas. Se instala, entre ellos y nosotras, una especie de statu quo que parece decir: ‘Estás aquí, se acabó, no hablemos más de ello.”
Betty Mahmoody, For the Love of a Child

Gina Buonaguro
“Venetian laws last but a week. They keep making new laws because no one follows the old ones…. Or enforces them.”
Gina Buonaguro, The Virgins of Venice
