| 813da2d | el cuerpo que nos enferma y que acaba por matarnos, ese maldito cuerpo traidor que de repente se queda cojo, y se terminaron para siempre las montanas; o que hace crecer insidiosamente, en el laborioso silencio de las celulas, un tumor maligno que te va a torturar antes de asesinarte; o que resbala y se rompe tan facilmente, | Rosa Montero | ||
| c71f882 | Cok sonralari, ask hayatimda, oyle sessiz ve suskun kadinlar tanimisimdir ki, yatakta beklenmedik bir bicimde dilleri cozulup inanilmaz derecede tatli dilli olmuslardir. O dul kadina da o gece buna benzer bir sey olmustu, ama girtlaginda cozulen sesi erotik degil, icten ve sevecendi.

Ese ceno embestidor propio de una mujer que, en efecto, tuvo que derribar muchos muros a cabezazos, ?no habria terminado por convertirse en una costumbre facial, en una mueca? Por no hablar de la fatiga constante de su cuerpo debilitado por la radiacion. Debe de costar sonreir cuand.. | Rosa Montero | ||

| 73e37f2 | Cuando las cosas no tenian marcha atras, no valia la pena perder el tiempo preguntandose si hubiera sido preferible que no ocurrieran. Mejor tratar de enrumbarlas por el buen camino.

| c074e9f | Ahora ella esta de frente a el. De golpe, Alberto descubre que el rostro tantas veces evocado en el colegio estas ultimas semanas tenia una firmeza que no asoma en el rostro que ve a su lado, el mismo que vio en el cine Metro, o tras esa puerta, cuando se despidieron, un rostro cohibido, unos ojos timidos que se apartan de los suyos y se abren y cierran como tocados por el sol de verano. | Mario Vargas Llosa | ||
| 83cea2a | It is not bad that the main beneficiaries of freedom criticize open societies, where there is much that can be criticized. It is bad if they do so by taking the side of those who seek to destroy these open societies, replacing them with authoritarian regimes, as in Venezuela or Cuba. When many artists and intellectuals betray democratic ideals, they are not betraying abstract principles, but rather the thousands and millions of flesh-and-bl.. | Mario Vargas Llosa | ||

| a7712af | Seria asi toda la Historia? ?La que se aprendia en el colegio? ?La escrita por los historiadores? Una fabricacion mas o menos idilica, racional y coherente de lo que en la realidad cruda y dura habia sido una caotica y arbitraria mezcla de planes, azares, intrigas, hechos fortuitos, coincidencias, intereses multiples, que habian ido provocando cambios, trastornos, avances y retrocesos, siempre inesperados y sorprendentes respecto a lo que f.. | history | Mario Vargas Llosa | |

The harder a man feels compelled to be, the weaker his ego is. And then we do a much greater disservice to girls, because we raise them to cater to the fragile egos of males. We teach girls to shrink themselves, to make themselves smaller. We say to girls: You can have ambition, but not too much. You should aim .. | Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie | ||
