“Shut up, you coward, they’ll say my son is a queer.”
“Tocopilla, this tremor, this scent of stones, this lament of a small town torn to shreds by the sun, these patient streets longing for a drop of water.”
“Should I suffer the anguish of the sardines or should I delight in the joy of the gulls?”
“Willpower overcomes pain.”

“Who is Don Jose?” “Don Jose is you!”
“God does not exist.”
“All you are going to be, you are already.
What you are looking for is already within you.”
