“I wish something would happen to me, something that would show me exactly how cruel and jealous and vengeful I can be. Then I could go back to gentleness because I chose it over brutality for its own sake, not because I didn't have the courage to be cruel. I might even like cruelty. I doubt very much that I would, but I ought to find out.”
― Peter S. Beagle, A Fine and Private Place

“Estaba la muerte en el horizonte, sí, pero también esta vida adulta que me había decepcionado en casi todos los sentidos posibles. El desencanto era su signo, el derrumbe de todo lo que había creído imposible de derrumbar, y la resignación cotidiana para aceptarlo.”
― Marina Yuszczuk, La sed

“You think this is living? This is eating, nothing else.”
