Gabriel Muelle

“Because you are never here
but always there, I forget
not you but what you look like

You drift down the street
in the rain, your face
dissolving, changing shape, the colours
running together

My walls absorb
you, breathe you forth
again, you resume
yourself, I do not recognize you

You rest on the bed
watching me watching
you, we will never know
each other any better
than we do now”
― Margaret Atwood, Power Politics: Poems

“It's impossible to say a thing exactly the way it was, because of what you say can never be exact, you always have to leave something out, there are too many parts, sides, crosscurrents, nuances; too many gestures, which could mean this or that, too many shapes which can never be fully described, too many flavors, in the air or on the tongue, half-colors, too many.”
― Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale

“Yo sueño un país donde tantos talentosos artistas, músicos y danzantes, actores y poetas, pintores y contadores de historias, dejen de ser figuras pintorescas y marginales, y se conviertan en voceros orgullosos de una nación, en los creadores de sus tradiciones. Todo eso sólo requiere la apasionada y festiva construcción de vínculos sinceros y valerosos. Y hay una pregunta que nos está haciendo la historia: ahora que el rojo y el azul han dejado de ser un camino, ¿dónde está la franja amarilla?...”
― William Ospina, ¿Dónde está la franja amarilla?

“Writers and artists build by hand little worlds that they hope might effect change in real minds, in the real world where stories are read. A story can make us cry and laugh, break our hearts, or make us angry enough to change the world.”
― Grant Morrison, Supergods: What Masked Vigilantes, Miraculous Mutants, and a Sun God from Smallville Can Teach Us About Being Human
