“La literatura es un lugar en el que llueve. He dedicado buena parte de mi vida a coleccionar chubascos literarios. Me he quemado las pestañas buscando citas. La frase es arcaica, lo sé. Es más vieja que yo, viene de cuando se leía con velas. Pero las pestañas de los grandes lectores se siguen quemando, Ahora se queman por autocombustión. Arden al advertir la lumbre de los textos. Apenas me quedan pestañas. Dirán que nunca las tuve. Falso: las ofrendé como ofrendé la vista. Una biblioteca es un banco de ojos, Allí están las miradas que han donado lectores.”
― Juan Villoro, Conferencia sobre la lluvia

“To be all right implies an impossible phase. We hope for mostly right on the best of our days.”
