“(...) A veces, me asusta pensar que los problemas de todos los días puedan ser para mí un poco más terribles que para el resto de la gente.”
Samanta Schweblin, Fever Dream

“El mundo lo que tiene es una gran crisis de amor, y de que, al fin y al cabo, no son buenos tiempos para la gente muy sensible.”
Samanta Schweblin, Pájaros en la boca

“Yo siempre pienso en el peor de los casos. Ahora mismo estoy calculando cuánto tardaría en salir corriendo del coche y llegar hasta Nina si ella corriera de pronto hasta la pileta y se tirara. Lo llamo "distancia de rescate", así llamo a esa distancia variable que me separa de mi hija y me paso la mitad del día calculándola, aunque siempre arriesgo más de lo que debería.”
Samanta Schweblin, Fever Dream
