Voy a tener que irme a un planeta sin aire. Porque eres el aire. Eres el aire. Eres el aire. Y el agua. Y los jazmines. Y mi sombra. Y mi canto. ¡Vete! ¿No te han dicho, acaso, que los muertos no regresan? Nunca regresan. Nunca regresan. Nunca regr...
They do not sweat and whine about their condition, they do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins, they do not make me sick discussing their duty to God, not one is dissatisfied, not one is demented with the mania of owning things, not one...
A delicate balance is required: keep the penitent tautly close to the point of recognizing sin, and then allow the relief of that pressure to flow through forgiveness. Confession increases this tautness, only to clear the path for release.

Muchas veces ocurre que hay personas que nos han amado de verdad, que metafóricamente podríamos decir que fueron nuestras, y que sin embargo se han ido de nuestra vida para siempre, y eso no quiere decir que en su momento no haya sido un amor auté...
Pero precisamente por ser un veterano en estas lides puedo afirmar con énfasis que no existe en el mundo mejor lugar que el autobús para explorar la rica fauna humana, en vivo y sin prejuicios antropológicos
También ésta es la historia de mi vida, pensó, o parte de ella: buscar un taxi de madrugada, oliendo a mujer o a noche perdida, sin que una cosa contradiga la otra.
