Quotes by Jorge Franco (?)

“Si ojos tienen que no me vean; si manos tienen que no me agarren; no permitas que me sorprendan por la espalda; no permitas que mi muerte sea violenta; no permitas que mi sangre se derrame; Tú que todo lo conoces, sabes de mis pecados, pero también sabes de mi fe, no me desampares, Amén.”
― Jorge Franco, Rosario Tijeras

“I’ve always thought that there are no couples in love nor any love triangles, only an Indian file where you love the person in front of you and that person in turn loves the one in front of him, and so on, and where the one behind me loves me and that one is loved by the one behind him and so on, but always loving the one whose back is turned to us. And the last one in line isn’t loved by anyone”
― Jorge Franco, Rosario Tijeras

“Estoy harta del tiempo, dijo, lo que trae se lo lleva sin misericordia. Trae el amor, lo gasta y se lo lleva. Se lleva la memoria, los recuerdos, se va con tus fuerzas. También trae el dolor y, si se aguanta, queda una herida con la que toca vivir hasta que el maldito tiempo decida llevárselo a uno. Y no por las buenas, sino que nos deja alguna enfermedad para que conozcamos la eternidad antes de irnos.”
― Jorge Franco, El mundo de afuera
