Orhan Pamuk
“My fear was not the fear of God but, as in the case of the whole Turkish secular bourgeoisie, fear of the anger of those who believe in God too zealously(...) I experienced the guilt complex as something personal, originated less from the fear of distancing myself from God than from distancing myself from the sense of community shared by the entire city .”
Orhan Pamuk, Istanbul: Memories and the City

Javier Marías
“y sin embargo nos va la vida y se nos va la vida en escoger y rechazar y seleccionar, en trazar una línea que separe esas cosas que son idénticas y haga de nuestra historia una historia única que recordemos y pueda contarse.”
Javier Marías, Corazón tan blanco

Viet Thanh Nguyen
“What am I dying for? he cried back. I’m dying because this world I’m living in isn’t worth dying for! If something is worth dying for, then you’ve got a reason to live.”
Viet Thanh Nguyen, The Sympathizer

Javier Cercas
“Uno de mis primeros entrevistados fue Roberto Bolaño. Bolaño, que era escritor y chileno, vivía desde hacía mucho tiempo en Blanes, un pueblo costero situado en la frontera entre Barcelona y Gerona, tenía cuarenta y siete años, un buen número de libros a sus espaldas y ese aire inconfundible de buhonero hippie que aqueja a tantos latinoamericanos de su generación exiliados en Europa.”
Javier Cercas, Soldados de Salamina

Viet Thanh Nguyen
“Americans liked seeing people eye to eye, the General had once told me, especially as they screwed them from behind.”
Viet Thanh Nguyen, The Sympathizer
