“We were living in a country being screened in slow motion and sometimes black and white, where the only things that weren't an uphill struggle were a smile, making love and dreaming. That's why we're always smiling here in Cuba, why we make love and dream all the time.”
― Karla Suárez, Havana Year Zero

“Those who know her know that beneath her anger is tenderness, and beneath her tenderness is fury.”

“When you are small, so small that you believe things will stay the same forever, the world is a friendly place. That's what I thought when I recognized my childhood bench.

― Milena Michiko Flašar, I Called Him Necktie

“Once love is brought down to earth, and weighed, it's over, it's dead. – But don't you agree that real love is the love that's brought down to earth? It's only real when it's mixed up with dirt and sweat. Otherwise, it's just for puppies and adolescents!”
― Xiaolu Guo, A Lover's Discourse
