“I can’t live on only my cold truths, on the concepts I can synthesize in three lines. I must also live on my weaknesses,, my dualities, and admit that those three logical, upstanding lines that faithfully reflect me in a given moment can become, on another not-very-distant occasion or in a complicated and turbulent mood, meager or narrow or painful, without ever ceasing to be true.”
— Josefina Vicens, The Empty Book (trans. David Lauer)
