Mar铆a Oru帽a
“All铆, en aquel momento y en aquel lugar, con la irreverente juventud precipit谩ndose por nuestras venas, sent铆amos que nada pod铆a con nosotros, que 茅ramos los mejores. Ahora que lo analizo con la mirada de verdadero adulto, creo que s铆, que en cierto modo era verdad. Nos sent铆amos invencibles porque am谩bamos la vida. Sin pensarla como los ancianos, sin ignorarla como los ni帽os. La juventud estaba en nosotros. 驴Qu茅 m谩s pod铆amos pedir?”
Mar铆a Oru帽a, Donde fuimos invencibles

Haruki Murakami
“My sickness is a lot worse than you think: it has far deeper roots. And that's why I want you to go on ahead of me if you can. Don't wait for me. Sleep with other girls if you want to. Don't let thoughts of me hold you back. Just do what you want to do. Otherwise, I might end up taking you with me, and that is the one thing I don't want to do. I don't want to interfere with your life. I don't want to interfere with anybody's life. Like I said before, I want you to come to see me every once in a while, and always remember me. That's all I want.”
Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

Aeschylus
“Nothing that strikes a note of brutal conquest. Only peace -blessings, rising up from the earth and the heaving sea, and down the vaulting sky let the wind-gods breathe a wash of sunlight streaming through the land, and the yield of soil and grazing cattle flood our city's life with power and never flag with time. Make the seed of men live on, the more they worship you the more they thrive. I love them as a gardener loves his plants, these upright men, this breed fought free of grief. All that is yours to give. And I, in the trials of war where fighters burn for fame, will never endure the overthrow of Athens all will praise her, victor city, pride of man. The furies assemble, dancing around Athena, who becomes their leader.”
Aeschylus, The Oresteia: Agamemnon, The Libation Bearers, The Eumenides

Holly Black
“Everyone finds different lessons in stories, I suppose, but here's one: Having a heart is terrible, but you need one anyway. It doesn't matter if the boy with the heart of stone was the villain. It doesn't matter if he got what he deserved. No one's heart has to remain stone.”
Holly Black, The Cruel Prince

V.M. Sawh
“I would prefer actual Hell to grocery store navel-gazing books about the banalities of life.”

M贸nica Lav铆n, Leo, luego escribo

“Preamble
The Klassik Era was a cultural and musical revolution that swept through Kenya and East Africa in the early 2010s. It was a time of bold experimentation, fearless expression, and unapologetic individuality that challenged the norms of mainstream music and culture. For the first time, young people from the ghettos and slums of Nairobi, Mombasa, and Kisumu could see themselves represented and celebrated in the music and arts scene, and their voices and stories were given a platform like never before.

The Klassik Era was characterized by a fusion of different musical genres and styles, from hip-hop and reggae to dancehall and afro-pop, to create a sound that was uniquely Kenyan and African. It was a time when young artists and producers like Blame It On Don (DON SANTO), Kingpheezle, Jilly Beatz, Tonnie Tosh, Kenny Rush, and many others came together under Klassik Nation, a record label that would change the face of Kenyan music forever.

The Klassik Era was also marked by a sense of community and camaraderie, with young people from all walks of life coming together to support each other's art and creativity. It was a time when collaborations and features were the norm, and when artists and producers worked together to create something new and exciting.

But the Klassik Era was not without its challenges and controversies. It was a time when the Kenyan music industry was dominated by a few powerful players who controlled the airwaves and the mainstream narrative, and who were resistant to change and innovation. It was a time when artists and producers had to fight tooth and nail to get their music played on the radio and to gain recognition and respect from their peers.

Despite these challenges, the Klassik Era left an indelible mark on the Kenyan music industry and on the cultural landscape of Africa. It was a time of creativity, passion, and rebellion that inspired a generation of young people to dream big and to believe that anything was possible. This book is a tribute to that era and to the artists and producers who made it all possible.”
Don Santo, Klassik Era: The Genesis

Eliana Alves Cruz
“Enxergo em ti a capacidade de transformares a mim
Como o oleiro molda o vaso,
Digo de tua vontade,
De teu engenho,
De tua gana em ganhar o mundo...
Com a vol煤pia dos bandeirantes desbravadores
Ou com a febre dos cors谩rios

Oprimes e esmagas com os p茅s
Outros p茅s iguais aos teus,
Escavas e arrancas com as m茫os
Outras m茫os id锚nticas 脿s tuas,
Pensas que me dominas,
Pensas que de mim sabes tudo e eu...
Apenas digo de ti o que vejo
E o que escreveres em tintas de sangue e suor
Nas minhas p谩ginas imaculadas e in茅ditas a cada dia novo.

Tentas esconder em minhas dobras teus feitos pouco gloriosos,
Tentas borrar com as pegadas de minha passagem
Tuas falhas imperdo谩veis,
Buscas corrigir cometendo outros delitos,
Acertas errando e erras acertando.
Por que n茫o te deixas levar simplesmente
Sentindo o pulsar essencial dentro de ti?

O que te impede de admirar o colorido da paisagem
Da humanidade do teu ser,
Sem a vol煤pia em transformar tudo em espelho?...
Qual a alavanca que te impulsiona a impor
Tuas cren莽as para todos os crentes,
Tuas leis para todos os viventes?
Refaz,
Repensa,
Reacalma...
Tamb茅m vejo que por vezes me transcorres com paix茫o
E que quando realmente desejas,
Sabes pintar com brilhantes tons
Cada microssegundo de minhas p谩ginas.
Sou homem quando me chamam minuto, segundo ou s茅culo.
Sou mulher quando me chama era, hora, aurora.
Sou eu quem contar谩 aos teus
Os teus crep煤sculos mai煤sculos
Ou tuas alvoradas sem gl贸rias.
Pensas que de mim podes escapar,
Sorrio de tua incans谩vel mania em dominar-me
Com a garra de tua palma,
Pois tentas a todo custo retardar minha passagem.
Sigo,
Pois ao contr谩rio de ti n茫o tenho pressa
N茫o passo antes e nem depois
Transcorro agora
... pois sou o Kitembo
Tempo...
E sou eu, apenas eu
Quem narra esta hist贸ria.
Pois eu passo...
...o amor, jamais.
E nada disse, digo ou direi de ti, que em ti n茫o veja.”
Eliana Alves Cruz, Nada digo de ti, que em ti n茫o veja

Marilyn  Velez
“Taking the wrong fork, I veered onto a curious road where the ground grew increasingly higher, and although my heart warned me to turn back, I didn't, for the curiosities of the mind are much stronger than imagined. During the course of my journey, I noticed trees becoming unwieldy, taking shapes my eyes had not seen. What was this peculiarity that battered my mind with such wonderment? There were no signs, nor directories, not even a guide, but my curiosities did not wind, for too eager was I to turn. So, like a child lost to the night, I walked this lonesome patch of gray until coming across a curve where the forest belt spread like wildfire, and the wild weeds and grasses produced a certain beauty not found in other parts.”
Marilyn Velez, Tundra: The Darkest Hour
