Quote by Ángeles Mastretta

“-¿Pero cómo se te ocurrió cantar?- le pregunté. -Qué otra cosa se me iba a ocurrir si me habías tenido toda la tarde con el estribillo ese del verde que brota del mar, y la boquita de sangre marchita que tiene el coral. Me dormí repitiéndola y de tanto decirla ya no sabía si las borrachas eran las ojeras o las palmeras.”

“No esta región ya no nos pertenece. Primero dejó de ser de los indios, luego dejó de ser de los negros, después dejó de ser de los costarricenses en general. Eso lo vi en los ojos del policía de Puerto Viejo cuando vino a esposarme y a meterme en prisión por oponerme a los destrozos que hacía una francesa que no tiene ni un año de vivir aquí. "No obstucalice la inversión extranjera, señora, circule, circule.”

“Men and women are learning animals. If you do not see what they have learned, you're blind. They are creatures ever changing, ever improving, ever expanding their vision and the capacity of their hearts. You are not fair to them when you speak of this as the most bloody century; you are not seeing the light that shines ever more radiantly on account of the darkness; you are not. seeing the evolution of the human soul!… …True, what you say about war. Yes, and the cries of the dying, I too have heard them; we have all heard them, through all the decades; and even now, the world is shocked by daily reports of armed conflict. But it is the outcry against these horrors which is the light I speak of; it's the attitudes which were never possible in the past. It is the intolerance of thinking men and women in power who for the first time in the history of the human race truly want to put an end to injustice in all forms. -- Marius to Akasha (The Vampire Chronicles)”
