Reckless Serenade

“Sé que creceremos y nos separaremos y seremos adultos y esto se convertirá en un pequeño capítulo de nuestras vidas, olvidado excepto en determinados días, bajo cierta luz; entonces este momento se elevará como un globo aerostático desde un bosque infinito.”
― Ben Brooks, Lolito

“Ironically, I believe Picasso was right. I believe we could paint a better world if we learned to see it from all perspectives, as many perspectives as we possibly could. Because diversity is strength. Difference is a teacher. Fear difference, you learn nothing.

Picasso’s mistake was his arrogance. He assumed he could represent all of the perspectives. And our mistake was to invalidate the perspective of a 17-year-old girl because we believed her potential would never equal his.

Hindsight is a gift. Stop wasting my time.

A 17-year-old girl is just never, ever, ever in her prime! Ever. I am in my prime. Would you test your strength out on me?

There is no way anyone would dare test their strength out on me because you all know there is nothing stronger than a broken woman who has rebuilt herself.”
― Hannah Gadsby

“Gracias por haberme hecho ser humano,
podías haberme hecho rana o vaso,
y habría que verme de rana
gorda y cantando,
o vaso de vidrio barato.

Podías haberme hecho nube de paso
o triste tortuga o lagarto
y me hiciste poeta y despacio.
Gracias por no haberme hecho legionario.
Y además gracias por no soltarme de tu mano.”
― Gloria Fuertes, El libro de Gloria Fuertes: Antología de poemas y vida

“La gente triste no tiene piedad.”
― Mariana Enríquez, Las cosas que perdimos en el fuego
