"Ironically, so far the worst one is written by Jakubowski himself. He tries to make it interesting saying something about an old book by Philip Roth that will someday be adapted to a movie (that came out in 2008). He also talks about the start of reconstruction of Ground Zero. The book came out in 2001. Badly used details won't distract you from poor witting, though. He is a good editor and a bad writer." — Feb 10, 2019 07:31AM

“Me he empeñado en que Emiliano me valide el pasado y ¿para qué? El pasado se valida solo, sucediéndonos todo el tiempo. No hay que huir de él ni regocijarse en extrañar lo que nos fue quitando. Pase lo que pase, todo pasa al mismo tiempo.”

“Are you kind enough, on your little planet, not to shut that rhythm down? Not to crush underfoot the singers of songs and tellers of tales and wearers of silk? Because it’s monsters who do that. Who extinguish art. Who burn books. Who ban music. Who yell at anyone with ears to turn off that racket. Who cannot see outside themselves clearly enough to sing their truth to the heavens. Do you have enough goodness in your world to let the music play? Do you have soul?”
