“Trato de pensar en la lucha que debió librar entre el deseo de acabar y su miedo, y me pregunto si fue un suicidio por impulso, un acto irreflexivo, o por el contrario una acción premeditada, lo que los expertos llaman un «suicidio por balance». ¿Había subido antes hasta el techo a preparar el terreno? ¿En qué pensaba cuando saltó? ¿Qué se siente al caer? ¿Se pierde la conciencia? ¿En las últimas horas pasamos los que lo queríamos por su cabeza? Las preguntas se alzan y mueren al instante, vencidas, derrotadas.

“Esa trama de tiempos que se aproximan, se bifurcan, se cortan o que secularmente se ignoran, abarca todas la posibilidades. No existimos en la mayoría de esos tiempos; en algunos existe usted y no yo; en otros, yo, no usted; en otros, los dos. En éste, que un favorable azar me depara, usted ha llegado a mi casa; en otro, usted, al atravesar el jardín, me ha encontrado muerto; en otro, yo digo estas mismas palabras, pero soy un error, un fantasma.”

“Here is the last thing, and a shameful admission it is. When the all-father in eagle form had almost reached the vats, with Suttung immediately behind him, Odin blew some of the mead out of his behind, a splatter wet fart of foul-smelling mead right in Suttung's face, blinding the giant and throwing him off Odin's trail.
No one, then or now, wanted to drink the mead that came out of Odin's ass. But whenever you hear bad poets declaiming their bad poetry, filled with foolish similes and ugly rhymes, you will know which of the meads the have tasted.”
― Norse Mythology

“She puts her hands on either side of my face, and the room falls away. I have never gotten so lost in a kiss before.
And then, the space between us explodes. My heart keeps missing beats and my hands cannot bring her close enough to me. I taste her and realize I have been starving.
I have loved before, but it didn't feel like this.
I have kissed before, but it didn't burn me alive.
Maybe it lasts a minute, and maybe it's an hour. All I know is that kiss, and how soft her skin is when it brushes against mine, and that even if I did not know it until now, I have been waiting for this person forever.”

“«La vida es física» Siempre me gustó ese verso de Watanabe. Y también este de Blanca Varela: «[…] es la gana del alma / que es el cuerpo»”
