Juan Rulfo

"The burden of family is that we cannot choose it, yet it chooses us."

"To endure is not to triumph; it is simply to refuse to disappear."

"The mockery of hope is that it sustains us precisely when reason says to surrender."

"In the telling of stories, we become who we were always meant to be."

"The river of life flows backward for those who dwell in memory."

"To love is to open yourself to the possibility of infinite sorrow."

"The earth does not forgive; it simply continues, indifferent to our transgressions."

"In darkness, we learn that light has always been our own responsibility."

"The strongest voices are often those silenced by those in power."

"To understand humanity, study those who have nothing left to lose."

"The past returns as prophecy, repeating itself until we finally listen."

"In the space between heartbeats, the entire universe exists."

"To forgive is not to forget, but to carry the memory without its poison."

"The voice of the dead demands that we live as they cannot."

"In the end, all we leave behind are stories and the scars they leave on others."
