“You once told me that the human eye is god's loneliest creation. How so much of the world passes through the pupil and still it holds nothing. The eye, alone in its socket, doesn't even know there's another one, just like it, an inch away, just as hungry, as empty.”

I see Esperancita once a month, and the boys every other month, and that's all: this is my life and my death, where there is nothing.”
