“Being born a woman is my awful tragedy. From the moment I was conceived I was doomed to sprout breasts and ovaries rather than penis and scrotum; to have my whole circle of action, thought and feeling rigidly circumscribed by my inescapable feminity. Yes, my consuming desire to mingle with road crews, sailors and soldiers, bar room regulars--to be a part of a scene, anonymous, listening, recording--all is spoiled by the fact that I am a girl, a female always in danger of assault and battery. My consuming interest in men and their lives is often misconstrued as a desire to seduce them, or as an invitation to intimacy. Yet, God, I want to talk to everybody I can as deeply as I can. I want to be able to sleep in an open field, to travel west, to walk freely at night...”
― Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

“Es difícil encariñarse con algo que no desciende nunca de su pedestal.”
― Victoria Álvarez, La ciudad de las sombras

“—Todos tenemos nuestros secretos —aseguró Silvana mientras se encogía ligeramente de hombros—. Todos absolutamente todos. Lo que sucede es que los de algunas personas son más escalofriantes de lo que puedan imaginar los demás.”
― Victoria Alvárez, Las eternas
