Ernesto Sabato
“La vida aparece a la luz de este razonamiento como una larga pesadilla, de la que, sin embargo, uno puede liberarse con la muerte, que sería, así una especie de despertar. ¿Pero despertar a qué? Esa irresolución de arrojarse a la nada absoluta y eterna me ha detenido en todos los proyectos de suicidio. A pesar de todo, el hombre tiene tanto apego a lo que existe, que prefiere finalmente soportar su imperfección y el dolor que causa su fealdad, antes que aniquilar la fantasmagoría de un acto de propia voluntad.”
Ernesto Sabato, El túnel

Primo Levi
“Auschwitz is outside of us, but it is all around us, in the air. The plague has died away, but the infection still lingers and it would be foolish to deny it. Rejection of human solidarity, obtuse and cynical indifference to the suffering of others, abdication of the intellect and of moral sense to the principle of authority, and above all, at the root of everything, a sweeping tide of cowardice, a colossal cowardice which masks itself as warring virtue, love of country and faith in an idea.”
Primo Levi, The Black Hole of Auschwitz

Ernesto Sabato
“¡Ah, y sin embargo te maté! Y he sido yo quien te ha matado, yo, que veía como a través de un muro de vidrio, sin poder tocarlo, tu rostro mudo y ansioso. ¡Yo, tan estúpido, tan ciego, tan egoísta, tan cruel!”
Ernesto Sabato, El túnel

Ernesto Sabato
“Greatness is so aggressive, so dramatic! Don't you think it is almost bad manners?”
Ernesto Sábato, El túnel

Clarice Lispector
“Holding someone's hand was always my idea of joy. Often before falling asleep - in that small struggle not to lose consciousness and enter the greater world - often, before having the courage to go toward the greatness of sleep, I pretend that someone is holding my hand and I go, go toward the enormous absence of form that is sleep. And when even then I can't find the courage, then I dream.”
Clarice Lispector, The Passion According to G.H.
