- Love in the Time of Cholera, Gabriel García Márquez "Between you and memory everything is water. Names of the dead, or saints, or history." - "The Opposite of Nostalgia," Eric Galaminda “None of us are just one thing, I guess. None of us. We all have the terrible and amazing power to hurt and help, to harm and heal. We all do both throughout our lives.
