“The traveler wishing to observe Islamic Spain has his choice of two cities, Granada with its Alhambra or Córdoba with its Great Mosque (in Spanish Mezquita). Of the two former is be a considerable degree the more exciting and also the easier to absorb for its buildings, gardens and geographic settings are immediately recognizable as significant. It would take a dull man to miss the point of Granada, for its Alhambra is a museum of Islamic memories.”
James A. Michener, Iberia

Caleb Carr
“We are not obligated to provide everyone who comes to this country with a good life,” Morgan went on. “We are obligated to provide them with a chance to attain that life, through discipline and hard work. That chance is more than they have anywhere else. That is why they keep coming.”
Caleb Carr, The Alienist

Mario Puzo
“El mayor de todos los males es el poder_ contestó el sumo pontífice_, y es nuestro deber borrar cualquier deseo de poder de los corazones y las almas de los hombres. Ésa es la mision de la Iglesia, pues es la lucha por el poder lo que hace que los hombres se enfrentan unos a otros. Ahí radica el mal de nuestro mundo; siempre será un mundo injusto, siempre será un mundo cruel para los menos afortunados. Quién sabe,,, Es posible que dentro de quinientos años los hombres dejen de matarse entre sí. Feliz día será aquel en el que ocurra. Pero el poder forma parte de la misma naturaleza del hombre. Igual que forma parte de la naturaleza de la sociedad que, para mantener unidos a sus súbditos, por el bien de su Dios y d su nación, un rey tenga que mandar ahorcar a quienes no obedezcan su ley. ¿Pues cómo, si no, podría doblegar la voluntad de su súbditos? Además, no debemos olvidar que la naturaleza humana es tan insondable como el mundo que nos acoge y que no todos los demonios temen el agua bendita.”
Mario Puzo, The Family

“A large library is apt to distract rather than to instruct the learner. It is much better to confine yourself to a few authors than to wander at random over many.”

“We suffer for the simple reason that suffering is biologically useful. It is nature’s preferred agent for inspiring change. We have evolved to always live with a certain degree of dissatisfaction and insecurity, because it’s the mildly dissatisfied and insecure creature that’s going to do the most work to innovate and survive.”
Mark Manson, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life
