Lorene Cary Quotes

• El hielo negro es el más suave que existe, como si la naturaleza fuera condescendiente con el arte. ... El hielo negro es un acto de la naturaleza tan esquivo como la gracia, y mucho más raro. ... Nunca he patinado sobre hielo negro, pero quizá mis hijos lo hagan. Lo sabrán, al menos, cuando aparezca: que la tierra puede extenderse lisa e intacta como la gracia, y sabrán como conocen mi voz que estaban destinados a tener su parte.

• Why had I been so afraid? I had not loved enough. I'd been busy, busy, so busy, preparing for life, while life floated by me, quiet and swift as a regatta...I had had all my time, all my chances. I could never do it again, never make it right. I had not loved enough...I had not passed up all my chances to give love or receive it, and I had the future, at least, to try to do better.

• When we got around to books, I was finally set, as our minister would say, on solid ground. I gorged on books. I sneaked them at night. I rubbed their spines and sniffed in the musty smell of them in the library.
