“The first time I saw her,
Everything in my head went quiet.”
― Neil Hilborn

“She was learning, quite late, what many people around her appeared to have known since childhood – that life can be perfectly satisfying without major achievements.”

“—No penséis en nosotros como asesinos despiadados —les dijo—. Ni nos toméis por monstruos. Solo somos el mal necesario, el filo de las tinieblas, el aliento del abismo. Nuestra voluntad no nos pertenece, es la del terremoto, la del volcán que entra en erupción, la de la catástrofe inevitable. No somos más responsables de nuestros actos que los diluvios o los relámpagos. Somos la Carroña, y hemos venido a mataros a todos.”
― José Antonio Cotrina, La canción secreta del mundo

“No, I don't miss you... Not in a way that one is missed.
But I think of you.
Sometimes.
In the way that one might think of the summer sunshine
On a winter night...”
― Sreesha Divakaran, Those Imperfect Strokes
