“Perhaps even people you like and admire immensely can make you see the World in ways you would rather not.”
Susanna Clarke, Piranesi

“Grief is like a long valley, a winding valley where any bend may reveal a totally new landscape.”
C.S. Lewis, A Grief Observed

Douglas Adams
“Nothing travels faster than the speed of light with the possible exception of bad news, which obeys its own special laws. The Hingefreel people of Arkintoofle Minor did try to build spaceships that were powered by bad news but they didn't work particularly well and were so extremely unwelcome whenever they arrived anywhere that there wasn't really any point in being there.”

Julio Cortázar
“Pero el amor, esa palabra... Moralista Horacio, temeroso de pasiones sin una razón de aguas hondas, desconcertado y arisco en la ciudad donde el amor se llama con todos los nombres de todas las calles, de todas las casas, de todos los pisos, de todas las habitaciones, de todas las camas, de todos los sueños, de todos los olvidos o los recuerdos.

Julio Cortázar

Lewis Carroll
“Alice: How long is forever?
White Rabbit: Sometimes, just one second.”
Lewis Carroll
