El señor de la casa, el padre, tenía ojos de párpados enrojecidos y cejas espesas; le placía hacer sufrir a los que dependían de él, sirvientes y animales. Después, cuando mi padre me rescató y vagué con él por los pueblos, encontré que en todas partes la gente sufría. La “María Angola” lloraba, quizás, por todos ellos, desde el Cuzco. A nadie había visto más humillado que a ese pongo del Viejo. A cada golpe, la campana entristecía más y se hundía en todas las cosas.”

“Don't be afraid!" Tim hollered from the car. 'Seek the truth!" "Yeah, seek the truth," Mac said. His eyes moved in his head as if he was trying to understand something himself. And for the first time, I considered that maybe there were no doors after all. Maybe when you look for a man's door, you create it. You create the door that shuts you out. I looked past him and focused on the door I could see.”
