"Because the way you grow old is kind of like an onion or lieke the rings inside a tree trunk or like my little wooden dolls that fit one inside the other, each year inside the next one."
"He said he would love me like a revolution, like a religion."
"But the truth has a strange way of following you, of coming up to you and making you listen to what it has to say."
"And when he loves, gives himself body and soul. None of this fooling around. A love so complete you have to be ready for it. Courageous. Put on your seat belt, sweets. A ride to the finish. So bad it aches."
"No, Tristan doesn't have memories like that. Only amor del corazon, that you can't buy, right? That is never used to hurt anybody. Never ashamed. Love like a body that wants to give and give of itself, that wants to create a universe where nothing is dirty, no one is hurting, no one is sick, that's what Tristan thinks of when he dances."
