Quote by Marlen Haushofer

“En algún lugar he leído que uno puede acostumbrase a todo y que la rutina es el impulso más fuerte de nuestra vida. No lo creo. Eso es sólo una excusa que utilizamos para no tener que pensar en los sufrimientos de los otros, sí, para no tener que pensar ni tan siquiera en nuestro sufrimiento. Es verdad, el ser humano puede soportar muchas cosas, pero no por costumbre, sino porque en él brilla un tenue resplandor con el que alimenta la secreta esperanza de poder romper algún día con la rutina.”

“My organs seem to remember what it's like to be alive and working. Either way, I feel satiated and don't even feel my hunger; I forget my need to eat entirely. Ben's neck presents itself to me, right under my nose, right next to my mouth, and I can taste the sweat that has coated it like a film, but the urge to bite isn't there at all. All it is is a neck, a human neck, and all I am is a human next to it.”
