pretext quotes

Para decirlo de otra manera, no es la herida la que causo¤ el grito, sino exactamente a la inversa; para herirse es preciso el grito, todo lo dema¤  s es un pretexto. In other words, it was not the wound that caused the scream, but precisely the opposite: to get wounded one needs the scream; the rest is only a pretext.

-Eltit, Diamela
  Lumpe¤  rica,1.
