• Te conozco. Te recuerdo. ¿Quién eres? Me estás destruyendo. Eres bueno para mí. ¿Cómo podía saber que esta ciudad estaba hecha a medida para el amor? ¿Cómo podía saber que te ajustabas a mi cuerpo como un guante? Me gustas. Qué improbable. Me gustas. Qué lento de repente. Qué dulce. No puedes saberlo. Me estás destruyendo. Eres bueno para mí. Me estás destruyendo. Eres bueno para mí. Tengo tiempo. Por favor, devórame. Deformame hasta la fealdad. ¿Por qué no tú? ¿Por qué no tú en esta ciudad y en esta noche, tan parecidas a otras ciudades y a otras noches que apenas se nota la diferencia? Te lo ruego.

• A book consists of two layers: on top, the readable layer ... and underneath, a layer that was inaccessible. You only sense its existence in a moment of distraction from the literal reading, the way you see childhood through a child. It would take forever to tell what you see, and it would be pointless.

• Encontrarse en un agujero, en el fondo de un agujero, en una soledad casi total, y descubrir que sólo la escritura puede salvarte. Quedarse sin el más mínimo tema para un libro, sin la más mínima idea para un libro, es encontrarse, una vez más, ante un libro. Un inmenso vacío. Un libro posible. Ante la nada. Ante algo como la vida, la escritura desnuda, como algo terrible, terrible de superar.
