21 " Náufraga me sentía, y creí haberme salvado de un naufragio. Ahora sé que de un naufragio no se salva nadie. Los que se hunden están muertos y los salvados viven ahogándose. "
― Gabriela Cabezón Cámara , La Virgen Cabeza
22 " And in each fragment of that river that was devouring its own banks, a bit of sky was reflected. "

24 " The first price we had to pay for such happiness was the dust. I, having lived wholly inside the dust, having been little more than one of the many forms that dust took there, having been contained in the atmosphere - the earth of the pampa is also sky - started to feel it, to notice it, to hate it when it made my teeth gritty, when it stuck to my sweat, when it weighed down my hat. We declared war on the dust, all the while knowing that we were fighting a losing battle: we come from dust. "
