“People who think that grammar is just a collection of rules and restrictions are wrong. If you get to like it, grammar reveals the hidden meaning of history, hides disorder and abandonment, links things and brings opposites together. Grammar is a wonderful way of organising the world how you'd like it to be.”
― Delphine de Vigan, No and Me

“Todo puede ser tan hermoso, todo puede ser tan fértil, tan imprevisible, cuesta creer que sea obra de algún dios. El lenguaje es mío. Es mi derecho, me corresponde una parte de él. Vino a mí, yo no lo busqué, por lo tanto, es mío. Me lo heredó mi madre, lo despilfarró mi padre. Voy a destruirlo, a enfermarlo, a confundirlo, a incomodarlo, voy a desplazarlo y a hacerlo renacer tantas veces como sean necesarias, un renacimiento por cada cosa bien hecha en este mundo.”
― Camila Sosa Villada, Las malas

“Sleep felt productive. Something was getting sorted out. I knew in my heart—this was, perhaps, the only thing my heart knew back then—that when I'd slept enough, I'd be okay. I'd be renewed, reborn. I would be a whole new person, every one of my cells regenerated enough times that the old cells were just distant, foggy memories. My past life would be but a dream, and I could start over without regrets, bolstered by the bliss and serenity that I would have accumulated in my year of rest and relaxation.”
― Ottessa Moshfegh, My Year of Rest and Relaxation

“(...) A veces, me asusta pensar que los problemas de todos los días puedan ser para mí un poco más terribles que para el resto de la gente.”
― Samanta Schweblin, Fever Dream
