“That house was never put in order or cleaned out. Every instance of cleaning, or dusting, or purging of old things is an act of violence on a person's being and life. Every instance of cleaning is an accounting with one's own biography and the biographies of those close to us. A moment of our death and a reminder that nothing is lasting and everything moves towards oblivion. Dusting requires either sheer courage or the complete absence of a soul.”

“Desde chicas nos enseñaban que no debíamos hablar con extraños y que debíamos cuidarnos del Sátiro. El Sátiro era una entidad tan mágica como, en los primeros años de la infancia, la Solapa o el Viejo de la Bolsa. Era el que podía violarte si andabas sola a deshora o si te aventurabas por sitios desolados. El que podía aparecer de golpe y arrastrarte hasta alguna obra en construcción. Nunca nos dijeron que podía violarte tu marido, tu papá, tu hermano, tu primo, tu vecino, tu abuelo, tu maestro. Un varón en el que depositaras toda tu confianza.”

“Las niñas se educan en el universo mágico de los cuentos de hadas. El príncipe encantador debe abrirse camino entre la maleza para llegar al castillo dela bella durmiente del bosque. La besa. Ella despierta por fin. El cuento ha terminado y hemos aprendido que la felicidad consiste en permanecer encerrada junto al amado.La sirenita dona su inmortalidad y su magnifica cola de pez para tener piernas. Andar es un suplicio, pero ella puede reunirse así con su príncipe encantador ... Que se casa con otra. El cuento ha terminado y hemos aprendido que nada es más hermoso que el sacrificio propio, incluso por un amado que no ama. Tu asesino te quería sólo para él. Se pegó a ti. Creíste que era amor. Era sólo instinto de posesión. Lo contrario del Amor.”
