"(...)me coloqué un mechón de pelo detrás de la oreja y de ese mechón salieron las arañas que se colaron por la boca y me llenaron el corazón o las tripas o los muslos porque era todavía más guapo de cerca."

Comerás flores

Karinka
Karinka is on page 165 of 325 of Beloved
"Could she sing? (Was it nice to hear when she did?) Was she pretty? Was she a good friend? Could she have been a loving mother? A faithful wife? Have I got a sister and does she favor me? If my mother knew me would she like me?

In Lillian Garner's house, [...], she listened to the whitewoman humming at her work; watched her face light up when Mr. Garner came in and thought, It's better here, but I'm not."

"She did not tell them to clean up their lives or to go and sin no more. She did not tell them they were the blessed of the earth, its inheriting meek or its glorybound pure.

She told them that the only grace they could have was the grace they could imagine. That if they could not see it, they would not have it."

Beloved

Karinka
Karinka is 26% done with La ciudad prometida
"En su casa, lo feo estaba tapado con cosas bonitas. Había habitaciones ideales, en las que no vivía nadie, y habitaciones feas, las que nos correspondían.(...)Me cansé de escucharlas llamar a mis primas putas, rastreras y apestosas.(...)Dedicaban discursos interminables a otras mujeres. Estaban poseídas por un odio visceral que oscurecía la piel de su rostro, la transformaba en una mandarina."

Karinka is 69% done with The Wilderness of Girls
"Maybe that's why Rhi has never been able to fit snugly into this world, or her family, or her life - because her heart is rooted in a wilderness that can't be confined to the narrow lot she's been offered." Sort of wishing I read this book about 17 years ago ♥️

Karinka is 12% done with The Creative Ambush
Not impressed so far, it feels very much like a lecture and the author overuses the "Haha." sentence. The personal stories that, I suppose, work very well in the oral setting, get a little cumbersome in writing. But my biggest problem with this book so far is that it feels like an ad for his Fabula product. Also, the tone is quite arrogant for my liking. Let's see about the rest of the book.

Karinka is 10% done with Gramática de la fantasía
"Esto se produce porque la imaginación no es una facultad cualquiera separada de la mente: es la mente misma, en su conjunto, que aplicada a una actividad o a otra, se sirve siempre de los mismos procedimientos. Y la mente nace en la lucha, no en la quietud."

"El mundo se puede observar desde la altura de un hombre, pero también desde arriba de una nube (con los aviones es fácil). En la «realidad» podemos entrar por la puerta principal o - es más divertido - a través de una ventana."

Karinka is 11% done with Casas limpias
"Y creo que la rabia, ojo que sigo limpiando porque nunca paro, viene de sentir dos cosas a la vez: la decisión propia de limpiar, y el conocimiento de que si ambos tuviéramos el tiempo suficiente para hacerlo, mi novio seguiría eligiendo pagar a alguien con tal de no hacerlo él mismo. Y esa es mi furia: que de mi tiempo libre no me importa sacar horas para limpiar." I feel seen.
