Quotes by Alba de Céspedes (?)

“فقط یک بار پس از خواندن یک رمان عشقی، خواهرش گفته بود:"لابد عشق چیز قشنگی است" و خود اضافه کرده بود:"آره، حتما چیز قشنگی است”

“... هيچ کس هرگز کاملآ آزاد نيست. آزادی بشر درست چند ساعت بعد از تولد از او سلب می شود. از همان لحظه ای که برای ما اسمی می گذارند و ما را به خانواده ای نسبت می دهند٬ ديگر فرار غير ممکن ميشود. قادر نيستيم زنجير را پاره کنيم و آزاد باشيم. ساختمان بزرگ اداره ثبت اسناد زندان ماست. همه ما لابه لای اوراق آن کتابها له شده ايم...!”
― Alba de Céspedes, از طرف او

“ماریو در سن بدی بود. پانزده سالگی. سنی که پسربچه‌ها با حقارت‌های بی‌شمار و نومیدی‌های بسیار دست و پنجه نرم می‌کنند. سن غم‌های زودگذر و بدون منطق.سنی که هنوز غم آن، غم به حساب نمی‌آید، هرچیزی به غرور تو بر می‌خورد و مطمئن هستی که آتیه را در مشت داری.
داستان پیراهن عروسی”
