For me these things are like an onion, as you discover more layers, you cry even more. There are no winners in wars, only blood and losers.

— Guillermo del Toro

Para mí estas cosas son como una cebolla, entre más capas descubres, más vas llorando. No hay vencedores en las guerras, sólo sangre y vencidos.
