“Sólo quiero deciros que estamos todos juntos.
A veces, al hablar, alguno olvida
su brazo sobre el mío,
y yo aunque esté callado doy las gracias,
porque hay paz en los cuerpos y en nosotros.”
― Jaime Gil de Biedma

“Let me begin by telling you that I was in love. An ordinary statement, to be sure, but not an ordinary fact, for so few of us learn that love is tenderness, and tenderness is not, as a fair proportian suspect, pity; and still fewer know that happiness in love is not the absolute focusing of all emotion in another: one has always to love a good many things which the beloved must come only to symbolize; the true beloveds of this world are in their lovers's eyes lilacs opening, ship lights, school bells, a landscape, remembered conversations, friends, a child's Sunday, lost voices, one's favourite suit, autumn and all seasons, memory, yes, it being the earth and water of existence, memory.”
― Truman Capote, Other Voices, Other Rooms
