Mokokoma Mokhonoana
“Life occasionally humbles us by making us turned on by someone whom we turn off.”
Mokokoma Mokhonoana

Franz Kafka
“La niña, de apenas trece años y algo jorobada, le golpeo con el codo y le miro de soslayo. Ni su juventud ni su defecto corporal habían impedido que se corrompiese. Ni siquiera le sonreía, sino que lanzaba a K miradas provocativas”
Franz Kafka, The Trial
