“We use the metaphor of waves that rise and fall in societies, perhaps forgetting that the actual waves of the ocean are purely opportunistic, small irregularities in water that, snagging a fortunate gust, rise and break like monsters, for no greater cause than their own accidental invention.”

“We read to find the end, for the story’s sake. We read not to reach it, for the sake of the reading itself. We read searchingly, like trackers, oblivious of our surroundings. We read distractedly, skipping pages. We read contemptuously, admiringly, negligently, angrily, passionately, enviously, longingly.”
― Alberto Manguel, A History of Reading

“La literatura es puro artificio, pero la gran literatura consigue disimularlo y la mediocre lo delata.”
― Mario Vargas Llosa, Cartas a un joven novelista
