Stephen Chbosky
“I’m so sorry that I wasted your time because you really do mean a lot to me and I hope you have a very nice life because I really think you deserve it. I really do. I hope you do, too. Okay, then. Goodbye.”
Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower

Miranda July
“Some people are uncomfortable with silences. Not me. I’ve never cared much for call and response. Sometimes I will think of something to say and then I ask myself: is it worth it? And it just isn’t.”
Miranda July, No One Belongs Here More Than You

Haruki Murakami
“La vida es como una caja de galletas”
Haruki Murakami

Pola Oloixarac
“All war is based in deception (cfr. Sun Tzu, “The Art of War”).

Definition of deception: “The practice of deliberately making somebody believe things that are not true. An act, a trick or device entended to deceive somebody”.

Thus, all war is based in metaphor.

All war necessarily perfects itself in poetry.

Poetry (since indefinable) is the sense of seduction.

Therefore, all war is the storytelling of seduction, and seduction is the nature of war.”
Pola Oloixarac, Las teorías salvajes

Stephen Chbosky
“Maybe it’s sad that these are now memories. And maybe it’s not sad.”
Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower
