There are fourteen million people living in Mexico City. I'll never see the visceral realists again. And I'll never go back to the university or to Álamo's workshop either.

Por momentos puede ser maravilloso eso de que todo el mundo escriba porque uno encuentra colegas en todas partes , y por momentos puede resultar pesado, porque cualquier gilipollas iletrado se siente imbuido de todos los defectos y de ninguna de las virtudes de un escritor verdadero.

~ Roberto Bolano

~ Robin Wall Kimmerer
While Rockefeller communicated with his subordinates in genteel fashion, discussing muscular tactics with unctuous euphemisms, his colleagues were less restrained and gloried in their brutal shenanigans.
~ Ron Chernow
