“Hay gente, débil, que le teme a la soledad; lo que no logran comprender es que en realidad tiene una parte muy liberadora: una vez que entiendes que no necesitas a nadie, puedes ocuparte de ti mismo. Ahí está el tema: es mejor ocuparse solamente de uno mismo. No puedes proteger a los demás, por mucho que te esfuerces. Lo intentas y lo intentas pero, cuando finalmente fracasas, se te cae el mundo encima y arde hasta reducirse a cenizas.”

“If there was anything Vincent might have done to stop it he wouldn’t have done so, for this occurred only once in a person’s life, and then only if he was lucky. It happened the way things happen in a dream. A door opens, a person calls your name, your heart beats faster, and everything is familiar, yet you don’t know where you are. You are falling, you’re in a house you don’t recognize and yet you want to be here, you have actually wanted to be here all of your life.”
― Alice Hoffman, The Rules of Magic
