After a few months without writing, months I've lived turned outward... I fear going deaf, not being able to hear the silence.

Writing is like making love. Don't worry about the orgasm, just concentrate on the process.

Boredom, Timothy Duane assured me, is nothing more than anger without passion.

When love exists, nothing else matters, not life’s predicaments, not the fury of the years, not a physical winding down or scarcity of opportunity.

In times of conflict, war, poverty or religious fundamentalism, women and children are the first and most numerous victims. Women need all their courage today.

Just as Daniel Balalcazar said, it makes no sense to suffer in advance a misfortune that may never occur.
