“And then again, maybe people and things are the same as emotions: Even when you can't see them or feel them or be with them, and even when they have died and even before they are born, they still exist somewhere. Far away or close, they're always somewhere. Maybe nothing in the world is truly lost, I think.”
Cristina Henriquez, Come Together, Fall Apart

“Armando's not a pork chop, I say. She shrugs. At least a pork chop would feed you.”
Cristina Henriquez, Come Together, Fall Apart

“It was as if, when her father spoke, her mother looked at him and saw a little goldfish, popping open his mouth over and over again but making no sound. And when her mother spoke, her father looked and saw a piranha doing the same thing.”
Cristina Henriquez, Come Together, Fall Apart
