“«Si se vive de acuerdo con la conciencia, la fe no es tan importante.»”
Espido Freire, Llamadme Alejandra

“Y así había sido toda la vida. Tampoco nadie había prestado mucha atención a Antonia en la pastelería. Ni a Elsa grande cuando juraba y perjuraba que deseaba dedicarse a la pintura. En realidad, nadie escuchaba a nadie.”
Espido Freire

“En un momento como el actual, en el que los ojos apenas se posan un instante en un tema antes de saltar a otro más escandaloso, más llamativo, los libros han de recuperar el ritmo lento, la necesidad de transcendencia imprescindible para que la reflexión y el aprendizaje brinden un mínimo de sentido a la sociedad moderna.”
Espido Freire
