Cristina Rivera Garza
“Vivir en duelo es esto: nunca estar sola. Invisible pero patente de muchas formas, la presencia de los muertos nos acompaña en los minúsculos intersticios de los días. Por sobre el hombro, a un lado de la voz, en el eco de cada paso. Arriba de las ventanas, en el filo del horizonte, entre las sombras de los árboles. Siempre están allá y siempre están aquí, con y adentro de nosotros, y afuera, envolviéndonos con su calidez, protegiéndonos de la intemperie. Este es el trabajo del duelo: reconocer su presencia, decirle que sí a su presencia. Siempre hay otros ojos viendo lo que veo e imaginar ese otro ángulo, imaginar lo que unos sentidos no son los míos podrían apreciar a través de mis sentidos es, bien mirado, una definición plural del amor.
El duelo es el fin de la soledad.”
Cristina Rivera Garza, El invencible verano de Liliana

Malcolm X
“The white conservatives aren't friends of the Negro either, but they at least don't try to hide it. They are like wolves; they show their teeth in a snarl that keeps the Negro always aware of where he stands with them. But the white liberals are foxes, who also show their teeth to the Negro but pretend that they are smiling. The white liberals are more dangerous than the conservatives; they lure the Negro, and as the Negro runs from the growling wolf, he flees into the open jaws of the "smiling" fox.”
Malcom X

Jung Chang
“I had experienced privilege as well as denunciation, courage as well as fear, seen kindness and loyalty as well as depths of human ugliness. Amid suffering, ruin and death, I had above all known love and the indestructible human capacity to survive and to pursue happiness.”
Jung Chang, Wild Swans: Three Daughters of China

Jung Chang
“Where there is a will to condemn, there is evidence.”

Jung Chang
“I could understand ignorance, but I could not accept its glorification, still less its right to rule.”
Jung Chang, Wild Swans: Three Daughters of China
