Laura Restrepo
“Te juro que el infierno debe ser un lugar donde te encierran con tus consecuencias y te obligan a lidiar con ellas.”
Laura Restrepo, Delirio

Guadalupe Nettel
“Esperar a alguien, al menos de esa manera, equivale a cancelar la existencia de uno mismo, a hipotecarla por un tiempo condicional, a cambiarla por un absurdo subjuntivo. Obsesionarse con alguien que ha decidido no estar es regalar minutos, horas y días de nuestra vida a quien ni los ha pedido ni quiere tenerlos; es condenar esos mismos minutos, horas y días a la dimensión del tiempo perdido, de lo inservible; es desaprovechar la infinidad de posibilidades que ese tiempo nos ofrece y canjearla por la peor de las opciones: la frustración, el sufrimiento.”
Guadalupe Nettel, Después del invierno

Donna Tartt
“That life - whatever else it is - is short. That fate is cruel but maybe not random. That Nature (meaning Death) always wins but that doesn’t mean we have to bow and grovel to it. That maybe even if we’re not always so glad to be here, it’s our task to immerse ourselves anyway: wade straight through it, right through the cesspool, while keeping eyes and hearts open. And in the midst of our dying, as we rise from the organic and sink back ignominiously into the organic, it is a glory and a privilege to love what Death doesn’t touch.”
Donna Tartt, The Goldfinch

Guadalupe Nettel
“Los peces son quizás los únicos animales domésticos que no hacen ruido. Pero estos me enseñaron que los gritos también pueden ser silenciosos.”
Guadalupe Nettel, El matrimonio de los peces rojos

Hanya Yanagihara
“You won’t understand what I mean now, but someday you will: the only trick of friendship, I think, is to find people who are better than you are—not smarter, not cooler, but kinder, and more generous, and more forgiving—and then to appreciate them for what they can teach you, and to try to listen to them when they tell you something about yourself, no matter how bad—or good—it might be, and to trust them, which is the hardest thing of all. But the best, as well.”
Hanya Yanagihara, A Little Life
