" You must be a parent to understand that from great love there also comes a great violent impulse. You must have feared for a child’s safety in order to comprehend and forgive the violence that hides or bubbles behind the anguish of anyone who, after giving up a son for dead, finds him playing at a neighbor’s house or with his buttocks full of thorns from falling on a nopal. Or in this case, returning from an adventure on his own two feet, having suffered no apparent harm. "

― Sofía Segovia , The Murmur of Bees
