Quote by Maggie O'Farrell

“Lo que hace "El papel pintado amarillo" es dotar a la mujer loca de lápiz y papel y, en definitiva, de una voz propia. "El papel pintado amarillo" es un grito, pero no tanto de desafío como de exigencia. La exigencia de ser escuchada, de ser comprendida, de ser reconocida. Lo único que podemos hacer es escuchar.”

“Tienen en las manos un digno heredero de la estirpe de los jinetes que huyen de su destino o que corren hacia él, miembro por derecho de la tribu de los caballos fantasmales, de los caballeros descabezados y de los durmientes que sucumben a la frescura del bosque sin intuir el gusano devorador que roe las raíces. Esta balada trágica que apela a la fragilidad del amor y a la vida quebradiza y vulnerable es un regalo y una maldición, pues no hay don que se precie que no lleve aparejado un destino desgraciado.”

“Love—as it is in the wild, no fingerprints on the glass—knows nothing of time. If you were lucky enough for your first fall to be in love and not loss, you might get what I'm talking about. The pure stuff, like flying before you look down. Like learning that the body you thought you had to fill out all by yourself actually came with an extension; that neither worked alone, but together—bam, all of the lights come on. That's how love is supposed to be. When you add in time, however, it does what time always does. Brings everything, eventually, inevitably, to its end. After loss, love is never the same. That is not to say you won't love another, maybe even more than ever before. But as you love them, you will mourn them. You'll try not to, of course. Try to say, "You'll never know." But you do. You know. And every inch gained in flight is an inch added to the fall. That's why, when you're flat-backed on the belt, we don't cut the love out. Every time you manage to think about that which you love—remember a face or a smell—you will be bird-dogged, instantly, by the bone saw of reality. Not how it will end, but how it always has. Love tortures you more than we ever could.”
