“Odysseus inclines his head. "True. But fame is a strange thing. Some men gain glory after they die, while others fade. What is admired in one generation is abhorred in another." He spread his broad hands. "We cannot say who will survive the holocaust of memory. Who knows?" He smiles. "Perhaps one day even I will be famous. Perhaps more famous than you.”

“Creo poco en el amor y bastante en el sexo.”
― Todo lo que podríamos haber sido tú y yo si no fuéramos tú y yo
― Todo lo que podríamos haber sido tú y yo si no fuéramos tú y yo
“La gente viola con sus sueños: viola la intimidad, viola el lenguaje con el que se expresa, viola esa imagen como mejor le parece. Cuántas veces he tenido sexo con gente en sueños y al día siguiente no me he atrevido ni a saludarla, pensando que en el “buenos días” se notará las “buenas noches que hemos pasado”. Quizá el mundo iría mejor si contásemos nuestros sueños eróticos a los que han sido protagonistas de ellos”

“I will never leave him. It will be this, always, for as long as he will let me.
If I had had words to speak such a thing, I would have. But there were none that seemed big enough for it, to hold that swelling truth.
As if he had heard me, he reached for my hand. I did not need to look; his fingers were etched into my memory, slender and petal-veined, strong and quick and never wrong.
“Patroclus,” he said. He was always better with words than I.”
