    “‘That thing about miss [missing your homeland], nostalgia and all that is a lie. You miss the neighborhood, in any case, but you also miss it if you move ten blocks away. […] The homeland is an invention. What do I have to do with a person from Tucumán or a person from Salta? They are as foreign to me as a Catalan or a Portuguese. They are statistics.

“‘That thing about miss [missing your homeland], nostalgia and all that is a lie. You miss the neighborhood, in any case, but you also miss it if you move ten blocks away. […] The homeland is an invention. What do I have to do with a person from Tucumán or a person from Salta? They are as foreign to me as a Catalan or a Portuguese. They are statistics. Faceless numbers. You feel part of very few people. Your country is your friends’” (Adolfo Aristarain, Martín (Hache)).

«—Eso de extrañar [tu patria], la nostalgia y todo eso es un verso. Se extraña el barrio, en todo caso, pero también lo extrañás si te mudás a diez cuadras. […] La patria es un invento. ¿Qué tengo que ver yo con un tucumano o con un salteño? Son tan ajenos a mí como un catalán o un portugués. Son estadísticas. Números sin cara. Uno se siente parte de muy poca gente. Tu país son tus amigos» (Adolfo Aristarain, Martín (Hache)).
