“La conciencia, así, hace a todos los cobardes
y, así, el natural color de la resolución
se desvanece en tenues sombras del pensamiento;
y así empresas de importancia, y de gran valía,
llegan a torcer su rumbo al considerarse
para nunca volver a merecer el nombre
de la acción.”
― William Shakespeare, Hamlet

“Time is life itself, and life resides in the human heart.”
― Michael Ende, Momo

“Cosas imposibles pido,
pues volver el tiempo a ser
después que una vez ha sido,
no hay en la tierra poder
que a tanto se haya extendido.
Corre el tiempo, vuela y va
ligero, y no volverá,
y erraría el que pidiese,
o que el tiempo ya se fuese
o viniese el tiempo ya.”
― Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, Don Quijote de la Mancha

“Until he was four years old, James Henry Trotter had a happy life. He lived peacefully with his mother and father in a beautiful house beside the sea. There were always plenty of other children for him to play with, and there was the sandy beach for him to run about on, and the ocean to paddle in. It was a perfect life for a small boy.
Then, one day, James's mother and father went to London to do some shopping, and there a terrible thing happened. Both of them suddenly got eaten up (in full daylight, mind you, and on a crowded street) by an enormous angry rhinoceros which had escaped from the London Zoo.”
― Roald Dahl, James and the Giant Peach
