“No one realizes how beautiful it is to travel until he comes home and rests his head on his old, familiar pillow. ”

“The old order, it is good for the old. A farmer wants his son to be afraid of beautiful women, so that he will not leave home too soon, so he tells a story about how one drowned his brother’s cousin’s friend in a lake, not because he was a pig who deserved to be drowned, but because beautiful women are bad, and also witches. And it doesn’t matter that she didn’t ask to be beautiful, or to be born in a lake, or to live forever, or to not know how men breathe until they stop doing it.”

“Ignorance is the softest pillow on which a man can rest his head”

“But he had turned, little by little, a disturbance into words, he had made a pillow of old words, for his head.”

“Felix’s beauty devastates him, annihilates every fiber of his being, and the voices shout in his head, they sing to him until he thinks his head will split.”

“SUCCESS is being able to come home, lay your head on the pillow and SLEEP in PEACE.”
