“You won’t understand what I mean now, but someday you will: the only trick of friendship, I think, is to find people who are better than you are—not smarter, not cooler, but kinder, and more generous, and more forgiving—and then to appreciate them for what they can teach you, and to try to listen to them when they tell you something about yourself, no matter how bad—or good—it might be, and to trust them, which is the hardest thing of all. But the best, as well.”
― Hanya Yanagihara, A Little Life

“Make up a story... For our sake and yours forget your name in the street; tell us what the world has been to you in the dark places and in the light. Don't tell us what to believe, what to fear. Show us belief's wide skirt and the stitch that unravels fear's caul.”
― Toni Morrison, The Nobel Lecture in Literature, 1993

“Su memoria se ha encogido. Su memoria, ahora, es tan pequeña que le cabe en un puño. Las reliquias sentimentales, se dice, no merecen la eternidad.”
― Sara Mesa, Un amor

“The people we make suffer stay inside of us longer and more deeply than those who we bring joy, don’t you think?”
― Kristopher Triana, Gone to See the River Man
