Laura Esquivel
“Los huipiles hablaban, decían muchas cosas de las mujeres que los habían tejido, hablaban de su tiempo, de su condición social, de su estado civil, de su conexión con el cosmos. Ponerse un huipil era toda una iniciación, al hacerlo uno repetía diariamente el viaje interior hacia el exterior. Al meter la cabeza por el orificio del huipil, uno transitaba entre el mundo de sueños que está reflejado en el bordado hacia la vida que aparece. En cuanto uno saca la cabeza, ese despertar a la realidad es un acto ritual matutino que recuerda día a día el significado del nacimiento. Los huipiles lo mantienen a uno con la cabeza en el centro, cubierta por delante, por atrás y por los costados. Esta cruz que forma la tela bordada del huipil significa estar plantada en el centro del universo, alumbrada por el sol y arropada por los cuatro vientos, los cuatro rumbos, los cuatro elementos.”
Laura Esquivel, Malinche

“In the grim blasted regions where the soil had failed or the factories were shut down, whole congregations would drift through the gates,”
Katherine Dunn, Geek Love

“Do you think we would eat supper and not include the children. No child goes hungry when I’m around.”
R. Gerry Fabian, Just Out Of Reach

Wallace Stegner
“Good fortune, contentment, peace, happiness have never been able to deceive me for long. I expected the worst, and I was right. So much for the dream of man.”
Wallace Stegner, Crossing to Safety

Candace L. Talmadge
“Helen slowly became aware of an unnerving red light. She lifted her head and looked around. The glow bounced off the cold stone walls and intensified quickly. It filled her with thoughts of despair and hopelessness. She tried to shake them off.
You have what’s mine! Where is it? I want it!
Helen shuddered violently. She recalled the inner voice that urged
her to use the stone to keep Prince Harnak from dying. That voice was
comforting and encouraging. This voice was oppressive and angry and
beat on her relentlessly.
“No!” she muttered. “Go away. I have nothing for you or anyone
else, not even me.”
The red light flickered out. Only the numbing cold and her utter
isolation, cheerless companions, remained.”
Candace L. Talmadge, Stoneslayer: Book One Scandal
