“El amor es el reconocimiento, en la persona amada, de ese don de vuelo que distingue a todas las criaturas humanas. El misterio de la condición humana reside en su libertad: es caida y es vuelo. Y en esto también reside la inmensa seducción que ejerce sobre nosotros el amor. No nos ofrece una vía de salvación; tampoco es una idolatría. Comienza con la admiración ante una persona, lo sigue el entusiasmo y culmina con la pasíon que nos lleva a la dicha o al desastre. El amor es una prueba que a todos, a los felices y a los desgraciados, nos ennoblece.”

“This, and the hope every maker of tales carries within: that readers will open their hearts to these little creatures made of ink and paper, and give them a part of themselves so they can be immortal, even if only for a few minutes.”

“Love is an answer to the lack that lies at the heart of aliveness, but it does not compensate for that lack—it transforms it. Love transforms that lack into an excess that produces new contradictions; it is the luminous chasm and the ephemeral mass, freedom in impossibility, the always insufficient answer to the paradox of life: “vivacidad pura” (Octavio Paz)—pure aliveness, experienced from inside the world.”

“Words tell stories. Specifically, the history of those words - how they came into use, and how their meaning morphed into what they mean today - tell us just as much about a people, if not more, than any other kind of historical artefact.”
