Memorable Quotes
-
“Reality is a jumble we can’t always measure or decipher, because everything is happening at the same time. While you and I are speaking here, behind your back Christopher Columbus is inventing America, and the same Indians that welcome him in the stained-glass window are still naked in a jungle a few hours from this office, and will be there a hundred years from now. I try to open a path through that maze, to put a little order in that chaos, to make life more bearable. When I write, I describe life as I would like it to be”
Eva Luna
First Sentence
Me llamo Eva, que quiere decir vida, segun un libro que mi madre consulto para escoger mi nombre.
