“The truth is she was a fearless apprentice but lacked all talent for guided fornication. She never understood the charm of serenity in bed, never had a moment of invention, and her orgasms were inopportune and epidermic.”
― Gabriel Garcia Marquez - translator Edith Grossman

“I took a swing, remembering the lessons of Sharafutdinov, the heavyweight champ. I took a swing and fell on my back.I don't remember what happened. Either it was slippery or my centre of gravity was too high...In any case, I fell. I saw the sky, enormous, pale and mysterious. So far away from my problems and disappointments. So pure.”
― Sergei Dovolotov - Translator Antonnia W. Bouis
