“The old life is gone, my days are new,but time is still a mysteryof wishes, and this sad, confusing fragrance. " —Rosa”

“I have spent all my years accepting sad truths.—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 still think of myselfas a broken place, a drifting islewith no home.—Quebrado”

“I will never understand the whole worldor evenone country.All I can dois try to understandthe truth and liesin the simplest choicesI faceevery day.”

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

“Like King Midas, I am left with nothingbut this unreasonable hopethat, somehow, my strange lifeand my lost familywill returnto normal. ”
