Hanya Yanagihara
“gods are for stories and heavens and other realms; they are not to be seen by men. But when we encroach on their world, when we see what we are not meant to see, how can anything but disaster follow?”
Hanya Yanagihara, The People in the Trees

Donna Tartt
“A great sorrow, and one that I am only beginning to understand: we don’t get to choose our own hearts. We can’t make ourselves want what’s good for us or what’s good for other people. We don’t get to choose the people we are.”
Donna Tartt, The Goldfinch

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

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

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
