“Never forget When your classmates wrinkled their noses at the scent of your lunch still lingering on your clothes, Even though their ancestors had conquered half the world in search of the spices you ate. Never forget How they jeered at your mother’s bindi, making crude jokes about how ridiculous it looked on her, And after ten years, how they all wore the exact same ornament on their own foreheads to keep up with the current trends. Never forget When they repeatedly stumbled over the sharp letters which formed your name, forcing you to repeat yourself several times before giving up; Only to have those very letters tattooed on their own flesh, in a language they do not comprehend. Always remember Your culture belongs to you, Not to them.”

“Hacerme otro distinto del que soy: empezar de cero, sin lastres y sin rencor. Lo fundamental es aguantar, tratar de vivir lo que viene sin pensamiento, atento al presente. Atarme a las pequeñas cosas, los ritos mínimos que me salven de la vivencia del vacío.”

— Ricardo Piglia
