I'm fine here, Lenny. I'm discovering who I am without all my ornaments and accessories. It's quite a slow process, but a very useful one. Everybody ought to do the same at the end of their life. If I had any self-discipline I would beat my grandson to it and write my own memoirs. I have time, freedom, and silence, the three things I never had amidst all the noise of my earlier life. I'm preparing to die." "That won't"

A veces se preguntaba si los indios no estaban mejor antes, cuando eran duenos de California y vivian a su manera, con sus costumbres y sus dioses, pero enseguida se persignaba y pedia perdon a Dios por tamana herejia. <>, suspiraba, arrepentido.

The girl you were died; the potion of death was what all of us women swallow sooner or later. Have you noticed how at puberty the Amazon-like energy we are born with fades and we turn into doubt-filled creatures with clipped wings? The woman left trapped in the silo is also you, a prisoner of the restrictions of adult life. The female condition is a disgrace, Isabel, it's like having rocks tied to your ankles so you can't fly.

The lack of a father leaves a hole in a woman's heart, Lucia. A girl needs to feel she is protected; she needs masculine energy to develop trust in men and later to be able to give herself in love.

We're not old because we are seventy. We start to grow old as soon as we are born, we change every day, life is a continuous state of flux. We evolve. The only difference is that now we are a little closer to death. What's so bad about that? Love and friendship do not age.

The Germans are not a race of psychopaths, Alma. They're normal people like you and me, but with fanaticism, power, and impunity, anyone can turn into a monster, like the SS at Auschwitz," he told his sister. "Do you think that, given the opportunity, you'd also behave like a monster, Samuel?" "I don't think it, Alma, I know it. I've been a soldier all my life. I've been to war. I've interrogated prisoners, a large number of them. But I ass..

En cada ocasion debia acomodar su estado de animo a las exigencias del momento, pero al terminar la jornada, en el silencio de su habitacion, pasaba revista a los acontecimientos y concluia que en medio del diario desafio lo mas conveniente era no pensar demasiado para evitar que el miedo o la ira lo paralizaran.

If women have influence, it is only--and then only sometimes--within their home. Men control all the political and economic power, the culture and customs; they proclaim the laws and apply them as they wish, and when social pressures and the legal apparatus are not sufficient to subdue the most rebellious women, the Church steps in with its incontestable patriarchal seal. What is unforgivable, though, is that it is women who perpetuate and ..

Tal vez la vejez es otro comienzo, tal vez se pueda volver al tiempo magico de la infancia, ese tiempo anterior al pensamiento lineal y a los prejuicios, cuando percibia el universo con los sentidos exaltados de un demente y era libre para creer lo increible y explorar mundos que despues, en la epoca de la razon, desaparecieron.

She tried to understand what it meant to carry winter on your back, to hesitate over every step, to confuse words you don't hear properly, to have the impression that the rest of the world is going about in a great rush; the emptiness, frailty, fatigue, and indifference toward everything not directly related to you, even children and grandchildren, whose absence was not felt as it once had been, and whose names you had to struggle to rememb..

Scrivo, lei ha scritto, che la memoria e fragile e il corso di una vita e molto breve e tutto avviene cosi in fretta, che non riusciamo a vedere il rapporto tra gli eventi, non possiamo misurare le conseguenze delle azioni, crediamo nella finzione del tempo, nel presente, nel passato, nel futuro, ma puo anche darsi che tutto succeda simultaneamente...

Just as when we come into this world, when we die we are afraid of the unknown. but the fear is something from within us that has nothing to do with reality. Dying is like being born: just a change.

Todo desaparecio a su alrededor y solo tuvieron consciencia de sus labios unidos tomando y recibiendo. En verdad apenas fue un beso, la sugerencia de un contacto esperado e inevitable, pero ambos estaban seguros de que ese seria el unico beso que pudieran recordar hasta el fin de sus dias y de todas las caricias la unica en dejar una huella certera en sus nostalgias. Supieron que dentro de anos todavia podrian evocar con presion el contacto..

An invisible border arose between the parts of the house occupied by Esteban Trueba and those occupied by his wife. In response to Clara's imagination and the requirements of the moment, the noble, seigniorial architecture began sprouting all sorts of extra little rooms, staircases, turrets, and terraces...the big house on the corner soon came to resemble a labyrinth.
