“Only those who dare may fly”
Luis Sepúlveda, The Story of a Seagull and the Cat Who Taught Her to Fly

“We've learnt to appreciate and respect and love someone who's different from us. It is very easy to accept and love those who are like us, but to love someone different is very hard, and you helped us to do that.”
Luis Sepúlveda, The Story of a Seagull and the Cat Who Taught Her to Fly

“It was the purest love without purpose other than love itself. Without tenure or jealousy.”
Luis Sepúlveda, The Old Man Who Read Love Stories
