Richard Rodriguez in T Magazine, 19 October 2014

In his essay "Signs of the Times":

Covering our bodies is a lifelong preoccupation, a disguise that represents a revelation. Most people my age have inherited the duty of clearing out the closet of a parent, spouse, lover or friend. The coats. Suits. Smell. Shine. The stripes, pinks, paisleys. Shoes! How can shoes retain the shape of souls? But they do.

In the bit about him "Behind the T" (page 50 of the print magazine):

There was a kid at my gym I used to see who had the Mexican Virgin Mary, Our Lady of Guadalupe, on one of his thighs, and the head of Satan on the other. Whenever he would do squats, the two flew in opposite directions.
