Quote by Junot Díaz

“When someone tells me they don’t like my books — always a strange way to open a conversation but hey such is life — I first think: How is that my problem? I just wrote the damn thing. And second: welcome to the club. Books, by nature, disappoint. 99.9999* of the planet will never read, much less like, anything you’ve written. The surprise for me is not that someone didn’t like or read my work but that someone in this messed up Chthulucene planet did. Books are the triumph of humble collectives, offerings to the god of small things.”

“¡Oh, corazón mío, no pierdas tu sensibilidad! ¡Que el alma de Nerón no halle cabida en este firme pecho! ¡Sea yo cruel, más no inhumano! ¡No usaré del puñal, aunque puñales serán para ella mis palabras! ¡Que mi lengua, como mi alma, sean en esto hipócritas, y por mucho que la amenace y la zahiera con mis execraciones, no consientas, alma mía, en sellarlas con la acción!”
