Adalberto Ortiz
“Cristobalina, three times a widow, and branded as a “bad risk” and an herb curer, was the oldest child. She had been like a mother to her godson Cangá since the time his mother died of an unknown illness.
Talking about Cristobalina, her old man always used to say:
“My daughter is an Amazon. She run all over the place. But she a free woman, and she can do whatever she wants with her body.”
Adalberto Ortiz, Juyungo

Mónica Ojeda
“The ear is the organ of fear. It is a door to that which is not of this world.”
Mónica Ojeda, Chamanes eléctricos en la fiesta del sol

Alicia Yánez Cossío
“No, la juventud no era eso, por encima de la piel rosada, de las hormonas y de las cirugías, de las carnes firmes y duras, de la ausencia de surcos en la cara donde el tiempo pone e incuba sus semillas, la juventud era una disposición abierta y sincera para la vida, una facultad de enamorarse de alguien o de algo, un poder de ensoñación que está dentro, un privilegio de amor y de comprensión, un vigor para la amistad y una energía para el acto cotidiano. Sería siempre el eterno problema del espíritu, nunca del cuerpo, y el equilibrio entre el ser y el estar...”
Alicia Yánez Cossío, Bruna and Her Sisters in the Sleeping City

Adalberto Ortiz
“Cristobalina, trostruka udovica, o kojoj se govorilo da ima papra u krilu, bila je najstarija kći Don Clementea. Ona je malog Azuleja, kojemu je majka umrla uskoro poslije poroda od neke nepoznate bolesti, odgojila kao prava majka.
Starac je o svojoj kćeri uvijek govorio:
“Cristobalina, ona je bumbar; leti preko brda i dolova, ali je ona, na kraju krajeva, slobodna žena i može raspolagati sa svojim tijelom kako god hoće.”
Adalberto Ortiz, Juyungo

Adalberto Ortiz
“Дочь дона Клемента, Кристобалина, уже трижды была замужем, и мужчины за глаза называли её «вонючкой». Она занималась целительством. Её приёмный сын, крестник, остался без матери, умершей вскоре после родов от неизвестной болезни, и Кристобалина заботилась о нём, как настоящая мать.
Старик говорил так:
— Дочь моя любому мужчине сто очков вперёд даст. Правда, шатается где попало, но она свободна и может делать что ей вздумается.”
Adalberto Ortiz, Juyungo
