Homer
“τέτλαθι δή, κραδίη: καὶ κύντερον ἄλλο ποτ᾽ ἔτλης.
-
Be patient, my heart: for you have endured things worse than this before.”
Homer, The Odyssey

Ángeles Mastretta
“La tía Daniela se enamoró como se enamoran siempre las mujeres inteligentes: como una idiota. [...] Era tan sabia que ningún hombre quería meterse con ella, por más que tuviera los ojos de miel y una boca brillante, por más que su cuerpo acariciara la imaginación despertando las ganas de mirarlo desnudo, por más que fuera hermosa como la virgen del Rosario. Daba temor quererla porque algo había en su inteligencia que sugería siempre un desprecio por el sexo opuesto y sus confusiones.”
Ángeles Mastretta, Mujeres de ojos grandes

Virginia Woolf
“She was intensely sympathetic. She was immensely charming. She was utterly unselfish. She excelled in the difficult arts if family life. She sacrificed herself daily. If there was chicken, she took the led; if there was a draft she sat in it-- in short she was so constituted that she never had a mind or wish of her own, but preferred to sympathize always with the minds and wishes of others... I did my best to kill her. My excuse, if I were to be had up in a court of law, would be that I acted in self defense. Had I not killed her, she would have killed me.”
Virginia Woolf

Carmen Laforet
“Me parece que de nada vale correr si siempre ha de irse por el mismo camino, cerrado, de nuestra personalidad. Unos seres nacen para vivir, otros para trabajar, y otros para mirar la vida. Yo tenia un pequeño y ruin papel de espectadora. Imposible salirme de él. Imposible libertarme. Una tremenda congoja fue para mí lo único real en aquellos momentos.”
Carmen Laforet, Nada

Emily Dickinson
“We never know how high we are till we are called to rise. Then if we are true to form our statures touch the skies.”
Emily Dickinson, Collected Poems of Emily Dickinson
