The Lady Matador's Hotel QUOTES

1 " Poetry by its very nature is subversive . . . It turns words inside out, confounds meaning, changes black and white to ambiguous shades of gray. Never trust a poet. "

― Cristina García , The Lady Matador's Hotel

2 " Aura is convinced that the entire country has succumbed to a collective amnesia. This is what happened in a society, where no one is permitted to grow old slowly. Nobody talks of the past, for fear their wounds might reopen. Privately though, their wounds never heal. "

― Cristina García , The Lady Matador's Hotel

3 " To live your life even half right seems extraordinary. "

― Cristina García , The Lady Matador's Hotel
