Quotes by Héctor Abad Faciolince (?)

“...Tal vez por esa experiencia en que la dicha se teñía de repente de dolor, yo ya debía haber entendido, repito, que nuestra felicidad está siempre en un equilibrio peligroso, inestable, a punto de resbalar por un precipicio de desolación.”
― Héctor Abad Faciolince, El olvido que seremos

“Hay un solo motivo por el que vale la pena perseguir algún dinero: para poder conservar y defender a toda costa la independencia mental, sin que nadie nos pueda someter a un chantaje laboral que nos impida ser lo que somos.”
― Héctor Abad Faciolince, El olvido que seremos

“La felicidad está hecha de una sustancia tan liviana que fácilmente se disuelve en el recuerdo, y si regresa a la memoria lo hace con sentimiento empalagoso que la contamina y que siempre he rechazado por inútil, por dulzón y en últimas por dañino para vivir el presente: la nostalgia.”
― Héctor Abad Faciolince, El olvido que seremos
