Quotes by Luis Carlos Barragán (?)

“Cuando la gente cambia, todo alrededor cambia. La vida deja de ser la misma.”
― Luis Carlos Barragán, El tercer mundo después del sol

“Ahora la ciudad parece desierta, vacía hasta los huevos, como si nada tuviera sentido. Yo me pregunto: ¿cómo una persona le puede quitar el sentido a algo? La fuerza del amor y todo eso: Dante recorriendo los infiernos y los purgatorios para volver con Beatriz porque ella se había ido con una beca al cielo a estudiar Física. Cómo el amor significa tanto, a pesar de nuestro sufrimiento humano y aquella canción que dice: amar es destrozar el corazón, una persona puede destruir nuestro mundo.”
― Luis Carlos Barragán, Vagabunda Bogotá

“Unos chicos me tenían miedo y pensaban que yo era una especie de asesino en serie. Soy el tipo de ñoño al que se la montan y no tiene pantalones para hacer nada, qué patético me resulta. Me gustaría volver a ser pequeño y ponerme loquito y joderlos a todos.”
― Luis Carlos Barragán, Vagabunda Bogotá
