Javier Marías
“Los hombres tenemos la capacidad de meter miedo a las mujeres con una mera inflexión de la voz o una frase amenazadora y fría, nuestras manos son más fuertes y aprietan desde hace siglos.”
Javier Marías, Mañana en la batalla piensa en mí

Ernest Hemingway
“The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.”
Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms

Plato
“In men the nature of the genital organs is disobedient and self-willed, like a creature that is deaf to reason, and it attempts to dominate all because of its frenzied lusts.”
Plato

“Your "best"! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and fuck the prom queen.”
Sean Connery

George Saunders
“...We experience rather than articulate the result...We're always rationally explaining and articulating things, but we are at our most intelligent in the moment just before we start to explain or articulate. Great art occurs or doesn't in that instant, what we turn to art form is precisely this moment when we know something, we feel it but we can't articulate because it's too complex and multiple. But the knowing in such moments is real, I say this is what art is for, to remind us that this other sort of knowing is not only real, it's superior to our usual, conceptual, reductive way." A swim in a pond in the rain by George Saunders.”
