“Tomar el toro por los cuernos, lo interpreté como crear a pesar de todo: de mis limitaciones, el cansancio, falta de método, incultura, debilidades físicas, modas; era también una advertencia para que en vez de contar mis ideas a mis amigos en los cafés, hiciera llover sobre la hoja o sobre la pantalla. Órale.”
― Élmer Mendoza, Contar lo de uno. Discurso de ingreso a la Academia Mexicana de la Lengua, 26 de abril de 2012

“Almost all good writing begins with terrible first efforts. You need to start somewhere.”

“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke
