Nuria

“Así damos siempre ese primer paso, repentino y rápido, que nos separa de la infancia, sin mirar hacia atrás ni hacia adelante, sin cautela, y con las manos vacías.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, The Earthsea Trilogy

“Un hombre puede saber a dónde va, mas nunca podrá saberlo si no regresa y vuelve a su origen, y atesora ese origen. Si no quiere ser una rama desgajada que va y viene y se hunde a merced de la corriente, entonces tendrá que ser el torrente mismo, todo él desde el nacimiento hasta la desembocadura en las aguas del mar.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, Historias de Terramar I: Un mago en Terramar / Las Tumbas de Atuan

“If you can feel that staying human is worth while, even when it can't have any result whatever, you've beaten them.”
― George Orwell, 1984

“Halfway through April Naoko turned twenty. She was seven months older than I was, my own birthday being in November. There was something strange about Naoko's becoming twenty. I felt as if the only thing that made sense, whether for Naoko or for me, was to keep going back and forth between eighteen and nineteen. After eighteen would come nineteen, and after nineteen, eighteen. Of course. But she turned twenty. And in the fall, I would do the same. Only the dead stay seventeen forever.”
― Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood
