Quotes by Juan Gómez Bárcena (?)

“They are young, full of ambition and dreams; they are still unable to imagine that there might be a story in the world in which they are not the main characters.”
― Juan Gómez Bárcena, The Sky Over Lima

“They sleep pressed together, in a circle around a little clearing where nothing is lit and nothing warmed. They eat cold jerky and cold tortillas, and they listen to their horses patiently chewing, the animals silhouetted in the moonglow. In the distance, they see blue-tinged thunderbolts strike silently on the horizon, and they see the scrawny shadows of coyotes, and stars that burn for an instant and are extinguished, and others so bright they look like caldera conveying fire from another world.”
― Juan Gómez Bárcena, Not Even the Dead

“What sort of imbecile hopes for justice, in this world? I don’t expect it now: somes stones we only trip over once in this lifetime. The world, too, is another stone. God tripped over it just one day, the day of its creation, and then he forgot or tried to forget it. Because it’s obvious that not even God seems to expect anything great from his creatures. If you don’t believe me, just look around.”
― Juan Gómez Bárcena, Not Even the Dead
