Quote by Bibiana Collado Cabrera

“Crecer consistió en ir entendiendo los motivos por los que mi madre casi siempre estaba seria y triste. El principal de ellos era sencillo, sencillo y apabullante: estaba cansada. No cansada metafóricamente, no cansada del mundo y sus problemas, de la incomprensión o de las peleas. No. Estaba literalmente cansada, físicamente cansada. Reventada de tanto currar, como una yegua siempre exhausta al final de una carrera que no se acaba nunca. El agotamiento de la supervivencia no deja espacio a todo lo demás.”

“You’re inches away from death every time you go on a mission. How much older can you be at your age? A half minute before that you were stepping into high school, and an unhooked brassiere was as close as you ever hoped to get to Paradise. Only a fifth of a second before that you were a small kid with a ten-week summer vacation that lasted a hundred thousand years and still ended too soon. Zip! They go rocketing by so fast. How the hell else are you ever going to slow time down?” Dunbar was almost angry when he finished.”
