"You have to find a way to forgive her. If you don't, the ghosts will follow you, and you will never really get away. Try. Por favor, amiga. For me." — Arturo to Liz in So Much For the Afterglow.

"I stopped trusting Rosa when she started to keep secrets. Not the other way around. When you girls were little, I would make churro pancakes, and you would tell me everything. About school, boys, your friends. Then, one day, she stopped talking. And she started lying. Like that. The end." — Arturo about Rosa in Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?.
