“La muerte de los artistas ¿Cuántas veces habré de sacudir mis cascabeles y besar tu frente ruin, triste caricatura? ¿Cuántas flechas he de malgastar, oh carcaj mío, para dar en ese blanco de místico carácter? Emplearemos nuestra alma en sutiles intrigas, y demoleremos más de una pesada armadura, antes de contemplar a la gran Criatura ¡cuyo infernal deseo nos llena de sollozos! Hay quienes nunca conocieron su ídolo, y a esos escultores condenados y marcados por el oprobio, que se golpean la frente y el pecho, no les queda otra esperanza, ¡extraño y sombrío Capitolio! sino que la Muerte, cerniéndose como un nuevo sol, ¡haga que se abran las flores de su cerebro!”

“Há essa presunção em quem se sente predestinado às artes, sobretudo à literatura: trabalha-se como alguém que tivesse recebido uma investidura, mas de fato ninguém jamais nos investiu de coisa nenhuma, fomos nós que demos a nós mesmos a autorização para sermos autores, mas lamentamos quando os outros dizem: essa ninharia que você fez não me interessa, aliás, me entedia, quem lhe deu o direito.”

“Quién sabe, quizá te hayas convencido, dada tu progresiva y alarmante tendencia a vivir cada vez con menos, de que no necesitás ni grandes aviones ni obras maestras en tu vida. Cézanne decía: "Lo grandioso acaba por cansar. Hay montañas que, cuando uno está delante, te hacen gritar ¡me cago en Dios! Pero para el día a día con un simple cerro hay de sobra". Tu ciudad es una llanura gris pero cada tanto las nubes se corren y algo emerge en medio de la nada. Hay días de cielo límpido, como hoy, en que lo alcanzás a ver desde tu ventana. Es un cerro pequeño con un nimbo detrás.”

“She had matured over the years, growing into a gorgeous blonde with long legs, big blue eyes, and coal-black lashes that stood out against the backdrop of her Irish skin, having a darling face full of freckles. Her cheery disposition made her approachable—for not every girl had mastered the art of emotional disarmament. Lauren had. Miraculously, she was both popular—singled out, destined for success—and down-to-earth, a girl less concerned with her looks and more with the head she carried on her slender shoulders.”
