“Independencia militante versus dependencia patológica”

“His dad had told him many times that the definition of a real man is one who cries without shame, reads poetry with his heart, feels opera in his soul, and does what’s necessary to defend a woman.”

“Life is a wonderful, mesmerizing, magical, fun, silly thing. And humans are astounding. We all know we’re going to die, and yet we still live. We shout and curse and care when the full bin bag breaks, yet with every minute that passes we edge closer to the end. We marvel at a nectarine sunset over the M25 or the smell of a baby’s head or the efficiency of flat-pack furniture, even though we know that everyone we love will cease to exist one day. I don’t know how we do it.”

“lot of times love doesn’t work out. Yet even when it fails, it connects you to others and, in the end, that is all you have, the connections.”

“¿Cómo odia uno a un país, o lo ama? Tibe habla de eso; yo no soy capaz. Conozco gente, conozco ciudades, granjas, montañas y ríos y piedras, conozco cómo se pone el sol en otoño del lado de un cierto campo arado en las colinas; pero ¿Qué sentido tiene encerrar todo en una frontera, darle un nombre y dejar de amarlo donde el nombre cambia? ¿Qué es el amor al propio país? ¿el odio a lo que no es el propio país? Nada bueno. ¿Sólo amor propio? Bien, pero no es posible hacer de eso una virtud, o una profesión...Mientras tenga amor a la vida, amaré también las colinas del dominio de Estre, pero este amor no tiene fronteras de odio.”
