“Scott Fitzgerald:
His talent was as natural as the pattern that was made by the dust on a butterfly's wings. At one time he understood it no more than the butterfly did and he did not know when it was brushed or marred. Later he became conscious of his damaged wings and of their construction and he learned to think and could not fly any more because the love of flight was gone and he could only remember when it had been effortless.”
― Ernest Hemingway, A Moveable Feast

“Men who do good deeds only wish to atone for their sins.”
― Luis Alberto Urrea, The House of Broken Angels

“No way of knowing how language re-created a family. His own children didn't want to learn Spanish, when he had given everything to learn English.”
― Luis Alberto Urrea, The House of Broken Angels

“Carnal, rocks remember when they were mountains.'
They stared at the rocks in the garden.
'And what do mountains remember?'
'When they were ocean floors.'
Big Angel, Zen master.”
― Luis Alberto Urrea, The House of Broken Angels
