"Escribir es lo más parecido que tenemos a la verdadera magia. Es crear algo de la nada, es abrir puertas a otras tierras. Escribir te da el poder de darle forma a tu propio mundo cuando el real duele demasiado" (Kuang, 253).

Debió cambiarle el nombre al libro. Y, no piensa publicar otro?

Him marrying and impregnating someone more than ten years his junior. Because that's what divorced men in their forties did... His power still intact" (Lee, 287).

"... being a mother did not have to mean no longer being a woman. That [you] could continue to live outside the lines. That forty was not the end. That there was more joy to be had" (Lee, 202).

I kind of don't like that the names of the songs in the book are not the same as in the movie

All I'm going to say is: Finally!!

"'La alegría de los veinte años desaparecerá [...] Nos convertiremos en horribles muñecos, atrapados por el recuerdo de pasiones que nos asustaron y de exquisitas tentaciones a las que no tuvimos el coraje de ceder'" (Wilde, 32).
