Joseph McElroy
“For hear us falling. Toward the horizon albeit oblique, for we imagine it isn’t our natural state. We are some power to be here and to have changed toward life even to think distinct from these angels lately to be heard speculating in us as if they were learning to hope. We deserve to know what is in us.”
― Joseph McElroy

Georges Perec
“I have neither one nor the other, and that has been going on for so long now that I have stopped wondering whether it is hate or love which gives us the strength to continue this life of lies, which provides the formidable energy that allows us to go on suffering, and hoping.”
― Georges Perec, Life: A User's Manual

William H. Gass
“time cannot do to ordinary things what we timelessly do to one another.”
― William H. Gass, The Tunnel

Rodrigo Fresán
“hay una explicación para el que los padres miren a sus hijos como los miran cuando éstos ya están dormidos y con la luz apagada. Y es que un niño despierto e iluminado difícilmente podría soportar la intensidad de esa mirada tan posesiva como liberadora: su amor sin límites, su infinito agradecimiento, el terror por todo lo que puede llegar a pasarles a los pequeños grandes y, por lo tanto, a los grandes pequeños. Padres e hijos son lo mismo. Unidos hasta que la muerte los separa y proyectándose desde el pasado hacia la eternidad más allá de vientos y de desiertos que no dejan de estirarse como quien se despereza. Gritándose de un lado a otro de un abismo finalmente insalvable, pero igual, siempre y para siempre, planificando puentes en cuyos extremos, unidos pero enfrentados, , aunque se desee que el otro estuviera aquí, sin esperar, ambos emprenden una y otra vez, todas las veces que puedan y se pueda, el cruce sobre le más pleno de los vacíos”
― Rodrigo Fresán, The Invented Part

László Krasznahorkai
“as he noticed the feeble ticking of his watch, he suddenly realized that he had been escaping all his life, that life had been a constant escape, escape from meaninglessness into music, from music to guilt, from guilt and self-punishment into pure ratiocination, and finally escape from that too, that it was retreat after retreat, as if his guardian angel had, in his own peculiar fashion, been steering him to the antithesis of retreat, to an almost simple-minded acceptance of things as they were, at which point he understood that there was nothing to be understood, that if there was reason in the world it far transcended his own, and that therefore it was enough to notice and observe that which he actually possessed.”
― László Krasznahorkai, The Melancholy of Resistance
