What you are describing is financial abuse. Your husband is using money as a way to control you and he deserves to suffer. You don’t need his permission to get a job. You don’t need his permission for anything!

Tienes la cabeza en las nubes, muchacha. ¡Más te vale tener cuidado con los truenos!

Constantemente tenemos que redefinir las cosas que son importantes para nosotros

Era una niña que habría podido pasar por americana, con ojos azules y piel blanca, rasgos que en todas las reuniones familiares decían que se debía a una tatarabuela sueca. Se quitó el flequillo de la frente: su cara se veía delicada como la de una bailarina de ballet.

El encantador Manuel es más bien un tiranuelo, una especie de Papi y Mami en miniatura, combinado en una sola persona.

Desde que Clive la había dejado, Yolanda se había vuelto adicta a las historias de amor con final feliz, como si en ellas pudiera encontrar algo pasado por alto, un error que cometió al enamorarse de su primer novio, para corregirlo

Ató el cuero en la nave con un reluciente hilo de plata para que no se escapara el menor soplo. Sólo dejó fuera el viento Céfiro para que, soplando dulcemente, empujara nuestras naves.

If you had high self-esteem and were sure of your tastes, you wouldn’t care if people criticised you or mocked you.

What happens if this friend also drops out of my life? She’ll stop wanting to spend time with me if she realises what I’m like.

The moment you think to yourself: “Well, this is the way I am, and what can you do about it”, you’ll feel much freer.

You’re just one person, and you’re putting too much of the weight of the world on yourself.

I’m right here, hoping that someone would see me waving, recognise themselves in me and approach me, so we could find comfort in each other’s existence.

. Learn what your gifts and your talents are, and then use them to do some good. That’s the best thing you can do with this one life you have.

Las canciones de las moscas no se apagan ni siquiera cuando cierro los ojos.
