Los demás son extensiones de su cuerpo. El microscopio, el telescopio, son extensiones de su vista; el teléfono es extensión de la voz; luego tenemos el arado y la espada, extensiones del brazo. Pero el libro es otra cosa: el libro es una extensión de la memoria y la imaginación. Por eso no resulta extraño que los mundos empastados lleven a otras realidades y que sus ríos de palabras ahoguen en emociones. Siguiendo con Borges, “la literatura es un sueño guiado”, y es que quién más nos enseña a querer, odiar, amar y soñar que los escritores. Matar a un ruiseñor (1960), Harper Lee: Este libro aborda temas de discriminación racial. Orgullo y prejuicio (1813), Jane Austen: El diario de Ana Frank 1984 (1947-1948), George Orwell

If to all of the above we add the fact that there are some astronauts, those who went on NASA’s missions such as the “Apollo”,the now retired astronauts, have publicly said they have had contact with UFO’s and aliens, and that are even extraterrestrial beings living there having that said, for some, this does not sound so crazy after all.
