“Según mi experiencia, las emociones no pueden describirse con una sola palabra. «Tristeza», «alegría», «remordimiento», esos términos no me dicen nada. La mejor prueba de que el lenguaje es patriarcal quizá sea que simplifica demasiado los sentimientos. Me gustaría tener a mi disposición emociones híbridas, complejas, construcciones germánicas encadenadas, como «la felicidad presente en la desgracia». O esta otra: «la decepción de acostarse con las propias fantasías». Me gustaría mostrar la relación entre «el presentimiento de la muerte suscitado por los ancianos de la familia» y «el odio por los espejos que se inicia en la madurez». Me gustaría hablar de «la tristeza inspirada por los restaurantes malogrados», así como de «la emoción de conseguir una habitación con minibar». Nunca he encontrado palabras adecuadas para describir mi propia vida, y ahora que ya he entrado en mi historia es cuando más las necesito. Ya no me puedo quedar sentado a ver lo que pasa. A partir de ahora, todo lo que cuente estará teñido de la experiencia subjetiva de formar parte de los acontecimientos. Aquí es donde mi historia se divide, se escinde, sufre una meiosis. Noto más el peso del mundo, ahora que formo parte de él.”
