Quotes 

• Luis : I write because I enjoy it. Nothing more. I can't stand people who go on about art, those who think they're creating something important. For me, writing's no better than sweeping the street or laying a brick.

• Julián : You avoid reality.

  Luis : Whose reality? Yours? Your wife's? Or mine?

• Luis : She's not my lover, Sister. This is my daughter, Elisa.

• Luis : Don't be shy. You're a good actress.

  Elisa : Up to your old tricks.

  Luis : No. Look, this is the part.

  Elisa : The World. "Oh, Supreme Maker..."

• Luis : The past is more powerful than we think. It's hard to let go.

• Luis : One of the first symptoms of senility is memory loss. You forget things that just happened. But for some strange reason, you remember the distant past. It's happening to me.

• Luis : What a horror. What a horror.

• Luis : She likes to lie awake in the darkness - to let her imagination wander freely, waiting for memories to emerge. Memories. What memories?
