Reckless Serenade

“Sé que creceremos y nos separaremos y seremos adultos y esto se convertirá en un pequeño capítulo de nuestras vidas, olvidado excepto en determinados días, bajo cierta luz; entonces este momento se elevará como un globo aerostático desde un bosque infinito.”
― Ben Brooks, Lolito

“I don’t identify as transgender. But I’m clearly gender not-normal. I don’t think even lesbian is the right identity for me. I really don’t. I might as well come out now. I identify as tired. I’m just tired.”

“Ironically, I believe Picasso was right. I believe we could paint a better world if we learned to see it from all perspectives, as many perspectives as we possibly could. Because diversity is strength. Difference is a teacher. Fear difference, you learn nothing.

Picasso’s mistake was his arrogance. He assumed he could represent all of the perspectives. And our mistake was to invalidate the perspective of a 17-year-old girl because we believed her potential would never equal his.

Hindsight is a gift. Stop wasting my time.

A 17-year-old girl is just never, ever, ever in her prime! Ever. I am in my prime. Would you test your strength out on me?

There is no way anyone would dare test their strength out on me because you all know there is nothing stronger than a broken woman who has rebuilt herself.”
― Hannah Gadsby

“Pero supongo que hace falta vivir mucho, y lograr aprender de lo vivido, para llegar a comprender que no hay nada tan importante ni tan espléndido como el canto de una niña bajo una higuera.”
― Rosa Montero, La ridícula idea de no volver a verte
