1 " La empatía y la compasión son rasgos de lucidez, la posibilidad de ponerse en los zapatos del otro, de transmutar la piel y enmascararse con un rostro ajeno es un ejercicio de pura inteligencia. "
― Nona Fernández , The Twilight Zone
2 " I believe that evil is directly proportional to idiocy. I believe that the territory you roamed in anguish before you disappeared is ruled by idiots. It isn’t true that criminals are masterminds. It takes a vast amount of stupidity to assemble the parts of such grotesque, absurd, and cruel machinery. Pure brutality disguised as a masterplan. Small people, with small minds, who don’t understand the abyss of the other. They lack the language or tools for it. Empathy and compassion require a clear mind. Putting yourself in someone else’s shoes, changing your skin, adopting a new face: these are all acts of genuine intelligence. "
3 " No importa lo que ves, importa lo que crees que ves. "
4 " Se perdió como se pierden los recuerdos en la memoria. "
5 " El joven Kinjo, que ahora es un viejo, dice que no es tan difícil transformarnos en lo que más tememos. "
6 " Quiero hablarle de cosas que yo he hecho, le dice el hombre mirándola a los ojos e imagino un leve temblor en su voz en el momento de pronunciar estas palabras que no son imaginadas. Quiero hablarle de desaparecimiento de personas. "
7 " Ser estúpido es una elección personal y no necesariamente hay que llevar uniforme para ejercer ese maligno talento. "
8 " O mejor, un pedazo de espacio exterior en el que naufragan perdidos, como astronautas sin conexión, todos estos rostros que fueron tragados por una dimensión desconocida. "
9 " Boris Flores was three years older than my son and he crossed the city by bus, probably at night, hurting and broken after a month of being locked up. I can’t imagine what his mother felt when she saw the men come for him. I can’t even approach what went through her mind when she had to watch him being beaten and taken away. I don’t know how she was able to bear that entire month with no news, searching for him and imagining him. I don’t know how she must have reacted when she heard that he was back, when she saw him walk through the door and she was able to hug that seventeen-year-old body, battered by electric shocks and torture. "
10 " porque cuando se trata del horror parece que las lógicas de la maquinaria no importan mucho. "
