Alma Toribio

“Soy joven, pero veo el amor a la antigua. Así con flores, cartas, que te alce mientras se besan, mirar a los ojos y apenarse. Me gusta amar, me gusta el amor a la antigua, lindo, cursi.”
― Anónimo

“So did you actually try to kill yourself? Or did that weird bitch just make up the whole thing?'
Silently, I held up my left arm, wrist facing Emily. She crossed her arms and kept her lips squished together as she examined me for a moment, sizing up those three perfect scars. Finally, she said, 'You know that you're supposed to cut down to kill yourself, right? You did it wrong.'
I looked at Emily and thought about what would have happened if I'd cut the other way. Or what wouldn't have happened. Char wouldn't have broken up with me. Alex wouldn't be mad at me. Pippa wouldn't hate me.
And I never would have met Vicky. I would never have had my first kiss. I would never have worn rhinestone pumps. I would never have heard Big Audio Dynamite. I would never have discovered Start. I would never have known I could be a DJ.
Emily Wallace didn't know what she was talking about. She never had.
You did it wrong, she said.
'No,' I said to her. 'I didn't.”

“Resulta fácil entender que exista el amor a primera vista.
Mas lo prodigioso es que haya amor entre dos personas que se han mirado durante muchos años.”

“Uno es valiente cuando, sabiendo que la batalla esta perdida de antemano, lo intenta a pesar de todo y lucha hasta el final.”
