How beautiful it was to know that you
were there like an oasis,
alone with me at the night's edge,
and you were lasting, you were more than time,
Julio Cortazar, from “After The Party” (Translated by Stephen Kessler)

But what is memory if not the language of feeling, a dictionary of faces and days and smells which repeat themselves like the verbs and adjectives in a speech, sneaking in behind the thing itself, into the pure present, making us sad or teaching us vicariously.
— Julio Cortazar, Hopscotch: A Novel (Pantheon, August 5, 2014)

"El amor no se elige, te elige. Un día te das cuenta que no soportas vivir sin ella, que cuando estas a su lado piensas que dentro de un rato se irá y la besas con tanta pasión como si ese beso fuese a parar el tiempo o a darte mas minutos con ella".
- Julio Cortázar
