Quote by Ernesto Sábato

“Estoy muy lejos ya de creer que los hombres, y menos el corazón de los hombres, puedan ser catalogados como minerales o fósiles. El corazón del hombre es vivo y contradictorio como la vida misma, de la que es su esencia.”

“En el momento del flechazo brotan dos tendencias contradictorias pero ineludibles: una es la genuina aparición de la atracción y el afecto, y la otra es la aparición de una fantasía que quiere anestesiar todos los defectos del otro. Ambos factores crecen al unísono. Hasta que el segundo, la fantasía de creer que el otro es perfecto, no da más y cae. Esto es de esperarse, porque nadie se enamora de un dios. Uno se enamora de un ser humano. Esto afecta la atracción y el afecto. Por eso nunca caen mal las palabras típicas de los abuelos cuando dicen: «Piensa bien antes de estar con alguien». Lamentablemente, tardamos un mínimo de treinta años en darles la razón.”

“Anarchists did not try to carry out genocide against the Armenians in Turkey; they did not deliberately starve millions of Ukrainians; they did not create a system of death camps to kill Jews, gypsies, and Slavs in Europe; they did not fire-bomb scores of large German and Japanese cities and drop nuclear bombs on two of them; they did not carry out a ‘Great Leap Forward’ that killed scores of millions of Chinese; they did not attempt to kill everybody with any appreciable education in Cambodia; they did not launch one aggressive war after another; they did not implement trade sanctions that killed perhaps 500,000 Iraqi children. In debates between anarchists and statists, the burden of proof clearly should rest on those who place their trust in the state. Anarchy’s mayhem is wholly conjectural; the state’s mayhem is undeniably, factually horrendous.”

“Her eyes narrowing, she turned her attention back to where Stephanie stood with Ben, feeling her own pain turn to intense fury. “Dominic knew her so damn well because he was usually thinking the same thing. She was his female version – two halves fitting perfectly together,” Gena spat out, anger inflected in her voice. “Like him, she’s reckless and like him, once she gets something into her head nothing or no one will change her mind.” Her fury revealed itself in her eyes, as she spat out, “And, like him, she’s going to get herself killed.” - Gena Evans, Nowhere to Run”
