Life itself is like a brushstroke in the History of the Universe. If we keep the last moments of the existence, we can compare it to the last and intimate contact of the brush with the canvas, which is almost imperceptible. But when referring to LIFE, the last sigh turns into something supreme, selfish, dissenting, painful, emotional, and even magical, I dare say. This is why there is always a place for doubt, for fair, for surprise or even for distrustful confidence, slackening tension or demoralised moral.

Cuando decidimos expresarnos comunicando nuestro conocimiento, de la mano de la palabra escrita, estamos dando paso a una nueva forma de vida o a una nueva manera interpretar un determinado hecho. Publicar un libro, en cierto modo, nos hace inmortales. Nuestras palabras sobrevivirán a nuestro tiempo en esta tierra. Tu libro, mientras exista, estará ahí para recordarte. Y tú siempre estarás vinculado a él de forma eterna. Porque amas a la literatura y porque la literatura te ama a ti, lo que quieras decir, hazlo saber con un libro.
