Quotes
edit- Todo se ha escrito, todo se ha dicho, todo se ha hecho,
oyó Dios que le decían y aún no había creado el mundo,
todavía no había nada. También eso ya me lo han dicho,
repuso quizá desde la vieja, hendida Nada. Y comenzó.- translation:
- Everything has been written, everything has been said,
everything has been made: that's what God heard
before creating the world, when there was nothing yet. I
have also heard that one, he may have answered from
the old, split Nothingness. And then he began.- 1967, Museo de la novela de la Eterna (The Museum of Eterna's Novel), also quoted in Chambers Dictionary of Quotations, p. 321 (2005)
