Angel

“Gozamos con el espectáculo de nuestra propias destrucción porque pensamos que somos inmortales. En nuestro delirio, destruimos a los otros creyendo que así seremos por fin eternos.
Así es como iniciará el colapso.
Mientras tanto, tú y yo seguiremos leyendo.”
― Martha Riva Palacio Obon, Orfeo

“Get busy living or get busy dying.”
― Stephen King, Different Seasons

“When I look back on that time, it’s with the strangest stew of emotions: love, longing, terror, horror, regret, and the deep sweetness only those who’ve been near death can know. I think it’s how Adam and Eve must have felt. Surely they looked back at Eden, don’t you think, as they started barefoot down the path to where we are now, in our glum political world of bullets and bombs and satellite TV? Looked past the angel guarding the shut gate with his fiery sword? Sure. I think they must have wanted one more look at the green world they had lost, with its sweet water and kind-hearted animals. And its snake, of course.”
― Stephen King, Duma Key

“Hearts can break. Yes, hearts can break. Sometimes I think it would be better if we died when they did, but we don't.”
― Stephen King, Hearts in Atlantis
