“Traduzco y traduzco, pensó con desconsuelo. Todo este tiempo la paso traduciendo. Traduje el cenote, la cabaña, la chica del CICY, la mujer esquiva, el hombre armado, la selva. Traduzco a mi idioma natal este español de México, traduzco mi vida a esta vida de otros. Traduzco con la conciencia del error, de que sólo es posible una aproximación al original y la fe en que al menos translado a mis palabras alguna de las verdades que recibo. Vengo de una ciudad que ve, que piensa, que siente y habla otro lenguaje. Cuando salga de acá, si es que salgo, no podré contar exactamente que me sucedió. Será una traducción.”

“Traffic slowed as they entered Fort Washakie with everyone rubbernecking the spirited powwow taking place in an empty field just off the main road. Most of the audience gathered round was non-native. But everyone there was stomping and clapping and surrendering themselves to the rhythmic spell of the drums, much like the performers themselves, and the dust of the earth which coalesced with their smoky breath to envelope them together in a billowing cone of palpitation. And Joshua sat there at the stop sign a little too long because he couldn’t bring himself to look away. But no one inside the VW or in the other cars cared, or even noticed, because they were doing the same.”

If you chose to be a victim of the world, anything which happens to you will feed that dark side of your soul, where you consider yourself wronged, suffering, guilty and deserving punishment. If you choose to be an adventurer, the changes - even the inevitable losses, since everything in this world changes - can cause some pain, but will soon thrust you forward, forcing you to react.”
“Tragedy descends, and in the carnage our enraged cynicism screams ‘If there was a God, He would not have allowed this!’ And somehow we’ve conveniently forgotten that once upon a time He allowed us to tell Him to go away, and once upon that time we allowed ourselves to take Him up on that offer.”
“Tragedy does nothing but amply my omnipotence.”

“Tragedy dramatizes human life as potentiality and fulfillment. Its virtual future, or Destiny, is therefore quite different from that created in comedy. Comic Destiny is Fortune - what the world will bring, and the man will take or miss, encounter or escape; tragic Destiny is what the man brings, and the world will demand of him. That is his Fate.”
