“Generalmente, esa sensación de estar solo en el mundo aparece mezclada con un orgulloso sentimiento de superioridad: desprecio a los hombres, los veo sucios, feos, incapaces, ávidos, groseros, mezquinos; mi soledad no me asusta, es casi olímpica.”
― Ernesto Sábato, El túnel

“Que el mundo es horrible, es una verdad que no necesita demostración”
― Ernesto Sábato, El túnel

“When we want to give expression to a dramatic situation in our lives, we tend to use metaphors of heaviness. We say that something has become a great burden to us. We either bear the burden or fail and go down with it, we struggle with it, win or lose. And Sabina - what had come over her? Nothing. She had left a man because she felt like leaving him. Had he persecuted her? Had he tried to take revenge on her? No. Her drama was a drama not of heaviness but of lightness. What fell to her lot was not the burden, but the unbearable lightness of being.”
― Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being

“Los que se levantan temprano a fuerzas constituyen un grupo social de descontentos, en donde se gestarían revoluciones si sus miembros no tuvieran la tendencia a quedarse dormidos con cualquier pretexto y en cualquier postura”
― Jorge Ibargüengoitia, Instrucciones para vivir en México
