“...le dijo tenés algo mío, te dejé algo mío, ojalá no sea maldito, no sé si puedo dejarte algo que no esté sucio, que no sea oscuro, nuestra parte de noche.”
― Mariana Enríquez, Nuestra parte de noche

“Eight of the ten commandments are about what thou shalt not. But you can live a whole life not doing any of that stuff and still avoid doing any good. That’s the whole crisis. The rot at the root of everything. The belief that goodness is built on a constructed absence, not-doing. That belief corrupts everything, has everyone with any power sitting on their hands.”
― Kaveh Akbar, Martyr!

“Cuando no se puede pelear, la única manera de estar en paz es rendirse.”
― Mariana Enríquez, Nuestra parte de noche

“The iron law of sobriety, with apologies to Leo Tolstoy: the stories of addicts are all alike; but each person gets sober their own way. Addiction is an old country song: you lose the dog, lose the truck, lose the high school sweetheart. In recovery you play the song backward, and that’s where things get interesting. Where’d you find the truck? Did the dog remember you? What’d your sweetheart say when they saw you again?”
― Kaveh Akbar, Martyr!
