“Among other things, you'll find that you're not the first person who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by human behavior. You're by no means alone on that score, you'll be excited and stimulated to know. Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You'll learn from them—if you want to. Just as someday, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. It's a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn't education. It's history. It's poetry.”

Hace unos días me perdí a propósito. Empezó como un accidente y lo continué por placer, tomé unos caminos que me mostraron una Caracas que no conocía, terminé dando vueltas en círculos y temí haberme salido mucho del camino. La rodilla me molestaba, pero mi orgullo me impedía regresar mis pasos hacia el área que conocía. Confieso que esperaba encontrar algo, no se qué, pero no lo encontré. Ahora, en mi casa, ando más perdida que antes y sigo esperando, siempre esperando.
