“entrega, él también se había desprendido de la armadura y, como yo, se abría. Le dije, en un hilo de voz, porque se me había cerrado el pecho, que también yo, sin saberlo, lo había buscado a tientas. He descrito en mis novelas el amor romántico, ese que todo lo da, sin escatimar nada, porque siempre supe que existía, aunque tal vez nunca estaría a mi alcance.

“Zero is the enslaved time, enslaved past, and future in the present of Zero. Zero is the end of recording: the time that contains all time and an absolute multitude within itself. Time, an eternity, is smaller than a moment, than a second, than a fraction of a second; it is not measurable. Time does not exist. Eternity does not have measure; its only measure is Zero, into which it goes to sleep. That is why an instant is longer than an eternity: an instant has a duration.”
