“No matter how invisibleI feel, I will always be wrappedin the memoryof life as a captive.—Quebrado”

“I have spent all my years accepting sad truths.—Quebrado”

“I still think of myselfas a broken place, a drifting islewith no home.—Quebrado”

“I feel the heaviness of nightmareseven though I am awake.How weary I am, how sleeplessand hopeless—there is no escapefrom the tormentof wishes.”

“I feel like...the boy lost somewherebetween the torment of memoryand a few fragile shardsof hope.”

“If only the peace I feel right nowcould be stored up and released laterwhen cruelty surrounds mein the darkduring nightmares.”

“That is how I think of peace and peace of mind—as timid birds that we have to search for, not bold ones that come looking for us.”
