“Quizá la felicidad sea eso, un instante donde estar, un momento cualquiera en el que las palabras sobran porque se necesitarían demasiadas para poder contarlo. Atreverse a tomarlo en su condensación, sin permitir que ellas, en su afán de narrarlo, le hagan perder su intensidad.”
― Claudia Piñeiro, Una suerte pequeña

“So that made me happy but the part that really made me happy was that you wanted me to be happy. That's what Thank you means.”
― Margaret Atwood, MaddAddam

“It would be Carol, in a thousand cities, a thousand houses, in foreign lands where they would go together, in heaven and in hell.”
― Patricia Highsmith, The Price of Salt

“You’ll be looking to make a niche for yourself in whatever dim, echoing caverns of academia may still exist by your time. I situate you at your desk, your hair tucked back behind your ears, your nail polish chipped—for nail polish will have returned, it always does. You’re frowning slightly, a habit that will increase as you age. I hover behind you, peering over your shoulder: your muse, your unseen inspiration, urging you on. You’ll labour over this manuscript of mine, reading and rereading, picking nits as you go, developing the fascinated but also bored hatred biographers so often come to feel for their subjects.”
― Margaret Atwood, The Testaments
