Alejandro Casona Quote

Siete vestidos pueden ser toda una vida: el claro de la primera mañana, el de regar las hortensias, el de tirar piedras al río, el de aquella noche que se quemó el mantel de fiesta con un cigarrillo. Ahora, así apretados, ya no hay fiesta ni hortensias ni río. Sí, Genoveva, hacer un equipaje es como enterrar algo.
