Ana Castillo

Citas

• “A good lover will do that, see something worthwhile in you that you never knew was there. And when there’s something you don’t like to see in yourself a good lover won’t see it either.”

• “You say your city the way some Americans say this is their country. You never feel right saying that - my country. For some reason looking Mexican means you can’t be American.”

• “We said nothing for several minutes. Our minds weighed like ripened fruit on the branch. When one is confronted by the mirror, the spirit trembles.”

• “The road in either direction / is neither longer nor shorter, / nor more narrow nor wider / than the fear that closes your heart.”

• “I am a brown woman, from the Mexican side of town-torn between the Chicago obrero roots of my upbringing and my egocentric tendency toward creative expressions.”
