“A volte la sera vengo qui anche se non devo regolare gli orologi, solo per guardare la città. Mi piace immaginare che il mondo sia un unico grande meccanismo.

“la vida en el cuerpo físico es un período muy corto de la existencia total. Cuando hemos aprobado los exámenes de lo que vinimos a aprender a la Tierra, se nos permite graduarnos. Se nos permite desprendernos del cuerpo, que aprisiona nuestra alma como el capullo envuelve a la futura mariposa, y cuando llega el momento oportuno podemos abandonarlo. Entonces estaremos libres de dolores, de temores y de preocupaciones, tan libres como una hermosa mariposa que vuelve a su casa, a Dios, que es un lugar donde jamás estamos solos, donde continuamos creciendo espiritualmente, cantando y bailando, donde estamos con nuestros seres queridos y rodeados por un amor que es imposible imaginar.”
