“I only fear danger where I want to fear it.”
― Franz Kafka, The Metamorphosis

“Todo termina y, ¿qué importa que termine un poco antes o un poco después puesto que de todos modos termina? Todo lo que termina es breve. ¿Y acaso será un mal el que la vida sea breve? No, porque la brevedad es la que la hace preciosa.”
― Hans Ruesch, País de las sombras largas

“Entre las penas con que nuestra vida está tejida, luce siempre un chispazo de alegría.”
― Nikolai Gogol, Dead Souls

“What was civilization ever, really, but the attempt by man to talk himself into being good? Only good, mind you. The rest had to be shoved somewhere out of sight, under the rug. Which History indeed did, at times politely, at times police-ly, and yet something was always sticking out, breaking loose, overthrowing.”
― Stanisław Lem, The Futurological Congress: From the Memoirs of Ijon Tichy
