“Hay algo sano en sentir que se está metido en un estercolero. Lo enfermizo es lo contrario: seguir como si nada, hacer planes, casarse, tener hijos, querer triunfar. Hay una alta dosis de insensibilidad en la gran masa anónima.”

“El padre de la actriz afuera, frente a la parrilla, como un guardián del asado, custodia toda esa vaca muerta puesta en la parrilla para agasajar a sus hijos. El padre hace de cuenta que no pasó nada al mediodía, que nadie se ha peleado con nadie.

― Camila Sosa Villada, Tesis sobre una domesticación

“But any time Kheim met the eye of any of his men, he saw the pain there. He saw also that they blamed him for her death. So he was happy to leave Nanking and travel with a gang of officials up the Grand Canal to Beijing. He knew that his sailors would scatter up and down the coast, go their ways so they wouldn't have to see each other and remember; only after years had passed would they want to meet, so that they could remember the pain when it had become so distant and faint that they actually wanted it back, just to feel again they had done all those things, that life had held all those things.”
― Kim Stanley Robinson, The Years of Rice and Salt
