“Ella era mi polo y yo la aguja imantada de la brújula: todo mi cuerpo se estiraba hacia ella, se empequeñecía de ganas concentradas. Fue bajo el imperio de esa fuerza que empecé a sentir y hoy creo que es posible que siempre sea así, que se sienta al mundo en relación con otros, con el lazo con otros. Me sentía viva y feroz como una manada de depredadores y amorosa como Estreya, que festeja cada mañana y cada reencuentro como si lo sorprendieran, como si supiera que podrían no haber sucedido, sabe, mi perrito, que el azar y la muerte son más feroces que la pólvora y que podían irrumpir como irrumpen las tormentas.”

“The smell of near-black tea leaves torn from the green mountains of India that would travel to Britain without losing their moisture, and without losing the sharp perfume born of the tears Buddha shed for the world's suffering, suffering that also travels in tea: we drink green mountains and rain, and we also drink what the Queen drinks. We drink the Queen, we drink work, and we drink the broken back of the man bent double as he cuts the leaves, and the broken back of the man carrying them. Thanks to steam power, we no longer drink the lash of the whip on the oarsmen's backs. But we do drink choking coal miners. And that's the way of the world: everything alive lives off the death of someone or something else. Because nothing comes from nothing.”

“Dios es un invento antiguo, hecho a imagen y semejanza de un tirano y como un tirano le da rienda suelta a su furia cuando la siente. Y no hay súplica que valga.”
