Lástima que en aquella época no se hubieran descubierto los hoyos negros en el espacio, porque entonces le hubiera sido muy fácil comprender que sentía un hoyo negro en medio del pecho, por donde se le colaba un frío infinito.
Laura Esquivelel secreto de la existencia humana no consiste sólo en poseer la vida, sino también en tener un motivo para vivir. El hombre que no tenga una idea clara de la finalidad de la vida, preferirá renunciar a ella aunque esté rodeado de montones de pan y se destruirá a si mismo antes que permanecer en este mundo.
Laura Esquivel¡Maldita decencia! ¡Maldito manual de Carreño! Por su culpa su cuerpo quedaba destinado a marchitarse poco a poco, sin remedio alguno. ¡Y maldito Pedro tan decente, tan correcto, tan varonil, tan... tan amado! -Tita

In this case, the oxygen, for example, would come from the breath of the person you love; the candle could be any kind of food, music, caress, word, or sound that engenders the explosion that lights one of the matches.
