“To acquire the habit of reading is to construct for yourself a refuge from almost all the miseries of life.”
― W. Somerset Maugham, Books and You

“Créeme, no hay gran dolor, grandes arrepentimientos, grandes recuerdos. Todo se olvida, incluso los grandes amores. Esto es lo que existe a la vez triste y exaltador en la vida. Hay solo cierta manera de ver las cosas, que surge de vez en cuando. Por esto es bueno a pesar de todo haber tenido un gran amor, una pasión desgraciada en su vida. Esto constituye por lo menos una coartada para las desesperaciones sin razón que nos agobian.”
― Albert Camus

“If I never see you again
I will always carry you
inside
outside

on my fingertips
and at brain edges

and in centers
centers
of what I am of
what remains.”
― Charles Bukowski, Living on Luck

“If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, Infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thro' narrow chinks of his cavern.”
― William Blake, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell
