conditioned quotes

   Porque, s |¤ , fuera de la celda esta¤  n nuestros opresores, pero adentro no. Aqu |¤ nadie oprime a nadie. Lo  u¤ nico que hay, de perturbador, para mi mente†cansada, o condicionada o deformada†es que alguien me quiere tratar bien, sin pedir nada a cambio. Because, well, outside of this cell we may have our oppressors, yes, but not inside.Here no one oppresses the other. The only thing that seems to disturb me† because I'm exhausted, or conditioned, or perverted†is that someone wants to be nice to me, without asking anything back for it.

-Puig, Manuel
  El beso de la mujer aran‹  a, ch.11 (translated as Kiss of the SpiderWoman,1978).
