“Craft, unlike inspiration, is explicable, and hence learnable. Its moments can be slowed down, isolated into discrete choices. One choice after another, one word after another, watching all the moving parts doing their thing, even when you’re working with a tool as maddeningly fiddly as language.”
Daniel Hahn, Catching Fire: A Translation Diary

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

“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

Adalberto Ortiz
“Cristobalina, ki je bila trikratna vdova in so o njej govorili, da ima poper v kikli, je bila najstarejša hči dona Clementa. Malega Azuleja, kateremu je umrla mati kmalu po porodu zaradi neznane bolezni, je vzgojila kot prava mati.
Starec je govoril o svoji hčerki:
“Cristobalina je čmrlj, leta čez hrib in dol, ampak nazadnje je svobodna ženska in lahko razpolaga s svojim telesom, kakor hoče.”
Adalberto Ortiz, Juyungo

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
