“The only obsession everyone wants: 'love.' People think that in falling in love they make themselves whole? The Platonic union of souls? I think otherwise. I think you're whole before you begin. And the love fractures you. You're whole, and then you're cracked open. ”
― Philip Roth, The Dying Animal

“Atticus said to Jem one day, "I’d rather you shot at tin cans in the backyard, but I know you’ll go after birds. Shoot all the blue jays you want, if you can hit ‘em, but remember it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird." That was the only time I ever heard Atticus say it was a sin to do something, and I asked Miss Maudie about it. "Your father’s right," she said. "Mockingbirds don’t do one thing except make music for us to enjoy. They don’t eat up people’s gardens, don’t nest in corn cribs, they don’t do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.”
― Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird

“Él se acercó y la abrió por curiosidad. Parecía un ataúd gélido. Por falta de electricidad, la refrigeradora se había convertido en su guardarropa. Había una pila de pantalones y otra de blusas, y notó que en la parte de la heladera reposaban algunos libros: El tungsteno de César Vallejo y la colección de los Siete ensayos de interpretación de la realidad peruana de José Carlos Mariátegui.
—¿Los has leído?
—Solo El tungsteno, la realidad peruana ya me la conozco —respondió.”
