“Finding dominant strategies is considerably easier than finding the Holy Grail. (...) It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. In other words, love is a dominant strategy.”

“Te llaman porvenir
porque no vienes nunca.
Te llaman: porvenir,
y esperan que llegues
como un animal manso
a comer en su mano.
Pero tú permaneces
más allá de las horas,

...Mañana!
Y mañana será otro día tranquilo
un día como hoy, jueves o martes,
cualquier cosa y no eso
que esperamos aún, todavía, siempre.”
― Ángel González, Sin esperanza, con convencimiento

“It is a tragicomic fact that our proper upbringing has become an ally of the secret police. (...) The "Tell the truth!" imperative drummed into us so automatically that we feel ashamed of lying even to a secret policeman.”
