“From Ulisses she'd learned to have the courage to have faith--lots of courage, faith in what? In faith itself, since faith can be a real scare, it can mean falling into the abyss, Lori was afraid of falling into the abyssand was holding on to one of Ulisses's hands while Ulisses's other hand was pushing her into the abyss--soon she'd have to let go of the hand that was weaker than the one pushing her, and fall, life isn't a joke because in the middle of the day youd die. A human being's most pressing need was to become a human being.”
