Quote by Oliverio Girondo

“For those whose senses are properly attuned, the most insignificant events—a woman who delays, a dog who sniffs at a wall—result in something so ineffable … it's as if a hidden universe of accumulated coincidences and circumstances had ordained it—so that even in the presence of so slight a spectacle as that of two flies alighting on a bald head, one would have the impermeability of a crocodile not to experience a veritable paroxysm of admiration.”
