There isn't any memory, no matter how intense, that doesn't fade out at last. Juan Rulfo matterforevermemories No one knows better than I do how far heaven is, but I also know all the shortcuts.

Juan Rulfo implicationsmiserytalking There you'll find the place I love most in the world. The place where I grew thin from dreaming. My village, rising from the plain.
