"I am afraid of getting older … I am afraid of getting married. Spare me from cooking three meals a day—spare me from the relentless cage of routine and rote. I want to be free…. I want, I want to think, to be omniscient…. I think I would like to call myself ‘The girl who wanted to be God.’"
"It was not in my nature to be an assertive person. I was used to looking to others for guidance, for influence, sometimes for the most basic cues of life. And yet writing stories is one of the most assertive things a person can do. Fiction is an act of willfulness, a deliberate effort to reconceive, to rearrange, to reconstitute nothing short of reality itself. Even among the most reluctant and doubtful of writers, this willfulness must emerge. Being a writer means taking the leap from listening to saying, “Listen to me."
"Y mira chica, si buscas un chico para siempre, que ni beba, ni fume, ni le guste la música estridente, que sólo piense en ti, que muera por tu amor, te digo que romeo y Julieta no eran de este planeta."
" Me enamoraré de la vida, es la única que no me dejará sin antes yo hacerlo. "
"El cielo fue muy generoso al donar sus estrellas
y pintarlas como lunares en toda tu espalda"
"¿Se suponía que debía sentirme feliz, porque mi vida estaba a punto de cambiar?."
"A man will renounce any pleasures you like but he will not give up his suffering. Man is made in such a way that he is never so much attached to anything as he is to his suffering."
"¿Es justo que el hombre ponga un pie sobre la luna?
¿No sería más justo que los grandes países pongan los pies sobre la tierra y se den cuenta que hay millones de personas que no tienen trabajo y que sufren de hambre?"
