1 " we always feel our reality isn’t enough. So we consume drugs and give ourselves artificial memories; we want to escape from the confinement of our lives. But I assure you that the only way to resolve the conflict is to learn to accept it and find your own place in the world. "
― Rosa Montero , Tears in Rain (Bruna Husky, #1)
2 " Volvieron a quedarse en silencio, pero era un silencio lleno de compañía. "
3 " Tacitus explains it thus: Cuncta fessa. Which means ‘the whole world is tired.’ Weariness in the face of political and social insecurity is what led to Rome losing its rights and freedoms. Fear induces a hunger for authoritarianism in people. Fear is a really bad adviser. "
4 " What I do shows me what I am seeking. "
5 " Because, once again, our government—and I’m speaking not just of the regional government, but of the planetary one as well—is concealing information. Concealing it, or what would be even worse, it’s not aware of it, because we’re in the hands of the most incompetent politicians humanity has ever had in its history. "
6 " Poder construir la memoria de una persona es un privilegio indescriptible. "
7 " El humano Yiannis había cuidado de ella, de la misma manera que la tecno Maitena había cuidado de Lizard. Pero ahora las relaciones entre las especies se estaban pudriendo. "
8 " Lo que hago es lo que me enseña lo que estoy buscando. (Pierre Soulages, pintor abstracto francés) "
9 " Cuncta fessa. Que quiere decir: Todo el mundo está cansado. El cansancio ante la inseguridad política y social es lo que llevó a Roma a perder sus derechos y sus libertades. El miedo provoca hambre de autoritarismo en las personas. Es un pésimo consejero el miedo. "
10 " Tal vez nuestro sistema democrático esté también a punto de suicidarse. A veces los pueblos deciden arrojarse al abismo. "
11 " Nuestra democracia, con todos su fallos, es un logro inmenso de la Humanidad, Bruna. El resultado de muchos siglos de esfuerzo y sufrimiento. Escucha, el mundo se mueve, la sociedad se mueve, y cuanto más democrática, más movilidad y capacidad para cambiarla. "
12 " Podemos mejorar. Pero para eso tenemos que creer en las posibilidades de la democracia, y defenderla, y trabajar para perfeccionarla. Ten confianza. "
13 " Birds of a feather always ended up sticking together. "
14 " Bruna got off the travelator, turned cautiously into the avenue and scanned from afar the area surrounding her apartment building as she clung to a faint hope. But no, there was the Omaá, with his translucent body and his ridiculous T-shirt. The bicho’s patient siege was turning her exits and entrances into a martyrdom. The night before, as she was approaching her building with adrenaline still pumping after her encounter with the thugs, Bruna mistook his huge shadow for that of an assailant and nearly gave him a kick in the groin. Or in the place where Earthlings have their groin. But the Omaá dodged it easily, as if he had predicted her movement. "
15 " Because my memory is a lie.” “Mine, too. All memories are lies. We all invent the past. Do you think my parents were really the way I remember them today? "
16 " You’d be amazed at the infinite possibilities of the impossible. "
17 " People believe in conspiracies because it’s a way of believing that deep down, horror has some order and meaning, even if that meaning is evil. We don’t support chaos, but there’s no question that life is "
18 " People believe in conspiracies because it’s a way of believing that deep down, horror has some order and meaning, even if that meaning is evil. We don’t support chaos, but there’s no question that life is totally senseless. Pure sound and fury. "
19 " Happiness is the same for everyone, but unhappiness is different for each person. "
20 " The feeling of superiority is a defect that tends to accompany a victim mentality...as if you deserved any merit for being a product of fate. "
