Quote by Vicente Blasco Ibáñez

“Y, en verdad, todos esperaban de Gallardo hondas emociones. Porque a él le gustaba el riesgo. Nadie se acercaba a los toros como él, nadie jugaba tanto con la muerte. Todos creían que su destino era morir en la plaza.”

“Bitch (noun): A woman who won't bang her head against the wall obsessing over someone else's opinion - be it a man or anyone else in her life. She understands that if someone does not approve of her, it's just one person's opinion; therefore, it's of no real importance. She doesn't try to live up to anyone else's standards - only her own. Because of this, she relates to a man very differently.”

In a sense, they never stopped devouring themselves.”

“Indeed, it could occasionally seem that support for the armed struggle was more fervent in Boston or Chicago than it was in Belfast or Derry. The romantic idyll of a revolutionary movement is easier to sustain when there is no danger that one's own family members might get blown to pieces on a trip to the grocery store. Some people in Ireland looked askance at the "plastic Paddies" who urged bloody war in Ulster from the safe distance of America.”
