Sergio Pitol

“Uno, me aventuro, es los libros que ha leído, la pintura que ha visto, la música escuchada y olvidada, las calles recorridas. Uno es su niñez, su familia, unos cuantos amigos, algunos amores, bastantes fastidios. Uno es una suma mermada por infinitas restas”
― Sergio Pitol, El arte de la fuga

“We, I would venture to guess, are the books we have read, the paintings we have seen, the music we have heard and forgotten, the streets we have walked. We are our childhood, our family, some friends, a few loves, more than a few disappointments. A sum reduced by infinite subtractions. We are shaped by different times, hobbies, and creeds.”
― Sergio Pitol, The Art of Flight
