Axolotl Quotes

“I console myself by thinking, perhaps he is going to write a story about us, that, believing he’s making up a story, he’s going to write all this about axolotls”
― Julio Cortazar, Axolotl

“Above all else, their eyes obsessed me. In the standing tanks on either side of them, different fishes showed me the simple stupidity of their handsome eyes so similar to our own. The eyes of the axolotls spoke to me of the presence of a different life, of another way of seeing.”
― Julio Cortázar, Axolotl
