"Probably all of us, writers and readers alike, set out into exile, or at least into a certain kind of exile, when we leave childhood behind...The immigrant, the nomad, the traveler, the sleepwalker all exist, but not the exile, since every writer becomes an exile simply by venturing into literature, and every reader becomes an exile simply by opening a book."

"Drink up, boys, drink up and don’t worry, if we finish
this bottle we’ll go down and buy another one. Of course, it won’t be
the same as the one we’ve got now, but it’ll still be better than
nothing. Ah, what a shame they don’t make Los Suicidas mezcal anymore,
what a shame that time passes, don’t you think? what a shame that we die,
and get old, and everything good goes galloping away from us".
