""¿Y no podía ser una vida como era la vida de su padre flotar en un río? Cada noche, ella veía a su padre ponerse el equipo y, sin decir palabra subirse a la barca e intentar pescar el mismo pez que había pescado durante años, y a él nunca le pareció extraño en absoluto. Pero la miró leyendo Emma y le dijo: 'Sal, vive un poco'."" — Jan 12, 2026 05:33AM

“Now I think it’s one of the most useless questions an adult can ask a child—What do you want to be when you grow up? As if growing up is finite. As if at some point you become something and that’s the end.”

“¿Quién no ha deseado alguna vez escapar del encierro de la propia vida? Y no porque esa vida no nos guste, sino porque una sola existencia, por muy grande y muy buena que sea, siempre será una especie de cárcel, una mutilación de las otras posibles realidades, de los otros individuos que pudimos ser.”

“You know those days when you've got the means reds?’
‘Same as the blues?’
‘No,’ she said slowly. ‘No, the blues are because you’re getting fat or maybe it’s been raining too long. You’re sad that’s all. But the mean reds are horrible. You’re afraid, and you sweat like hell, but you don’t know what you’re afraid of. Except something bad is going to happen, only you don’t know what it is. You’ve had that feeling?’
‘Quite often. Some people call it angst.’
‘All right. Angst. But what do you do about it?’
‘Well, a drink helps.’
‘I’ve tried that. I’ve tried aspirin, too. Rusty thinks I should smoke marijuana, and I did for a while, but it only makes me giggle. What I’ve found does the most good is to just get into a taxi and go to Tiffany’s. It calms me down right away, the quietness and the proud look of it; nothing very bad could happen to you there, not with those kind men in their nice suits, and that lovely smell of silver and alligator wallets. If I could find a real-life place that made me feel like Tiffany’s, then I’d buy some furniture and give the cat a name.”
