“Se quedan tumbados en silencio y parece que escuchan cómo aquellos que fueron, cómo las relaciones que tuvieron, van saliendo del cuarto de puntillas para dejarlos solos.”
― Marta Jiménez Serrano, No todo el mundo

“(Si tuviera que representar en un cuadro aquel acontecimiento de mi vida, pintaría una mesita de formica pegada a la pared y, encima de ella, una palangana esmaltada en la que flota una sonda roja. Ligeramente a la derecha se encuentra un cepillo de pelo. No creo que exista un solo Taller de la abortera en ningún museo del mundo.)”
― Annie Ernaux, El acontecimiento

“I could study you for a lifetime, carrying all your peculiarities and discretions in the webs of my spidery palms, and still feel empty-handed”
― Olivie Blake, Alone With You in the Ether

“I don't believe in answers. I don't believe in big sweeping philosophies. All the great men of history tried to make these absolute laws, answer all the big questions, and they were always wrong. There's no big answers out there, not that we can understand. I think the thing is just to somehow accept that life doesn't always make sense. Terrible things can happen. It's ridiculous to try to spin it. I mean, maybe in the grand sense, you know, when we all come out to take our bows at the end, it'll all seem logical and wonderful. But in the meantime, life can fucking hurt. We need to be there for each other. That's the real magical act--making someone a sandwich, cleaning the flat.”
― Sara Gran, The Book of the Most Precious Substance
