The human being is internally tied to the light and the truth

  It is a fundamental matter of the Chilean writer Nona Fernandez (in her novel "Voyager") that what we are is actually the result of an infinite history of moral, affective, spiritual and flesh ties that originated from the beginning of the cosmos up to the present.
