James Baldwin
“You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, who had ever been alive.”
James Baldwin

Roberto Bolaño
“¿Qué hace un niño cuando tiene miedo? Cierra los ojos. Y también grita, pero primero cierra los ojos. Las palabras servían para ese fin. Y es curioso, pues todos los arquetipos de la locura y la crueldad humana no han sido inventados por los hombres de esta época sino por nuestros antepasados. Los griegos inventaron, por decirlo de alguna manera, el mal, vieron el mal que todos llevamos dentro, pero los testimonios o las pruebas de ese mal ya no nos conmueven, nos parecen fútiles, ininteligibles. Lo mismo puede decirse de la locura. Fueron los griegos los que abrieron ese abanico y sin embargo ahora ese abanico ya no nos dice nada. Usted dirá: todo cambia. Por supuesto, todo cambia, pero los arquetipos del crimen no cambian, de la misma manera que nuestra naturaleza tampoco cambia.”
Roberto Bolaño, 2666

Christopher Isherwood
“Fear, after all, is our real enemy. Fear is taking over our world. Fear is being used as a tool of manipulation in our society. Itʼs how politicians peddle policy and how Madison Avenue sells us things that we donʼt need. Think about it. Fear that weʼre going to be attacked, fear that there are communists lurking around every corner, fear that some little Caribbean country that doesnʼt believe in our way of life poses a threat to us. Fear that black culture may take over the world. Fear of Elvis Presleyʼs hips. Well, maybe that one is a real fear. Fear that our bad breath might ruin our friendships… Fear of growing old and being alone.”
Christopher Isherwood, A Single Man

Anne Carson
“Although a monster Geryon could be charming in company.”
Anne Carson, Autobiography of Red

Anne Carson
“You doubt God? Well more to the point I credit God with the good sense to doubt me. What is mortality after all but divine doubt flashing over us? For an instant God suspends assent and poof! we disappear.”
Anne Carson, Autobiography of Red
