“The best fiction rises – yes, like a phoenix – out of the ashes of people’s sad, true disasters. We write in order to repeat the past.”
“In order to rise from its own ashes, a Phoenix first must burn.”
“And let it direct your passion with reason, that your passion may livethrough its own daily resurrection, and like the phoenix rise above its own ashes.”
“Whether we remain the ash or become the phoenix is up to us.”
“We are like the phoenix," said Abuelita. "Rising again, with a new life ahead of us.”
“Rising in Triumph, just like the phoenix”
