José Saramago
“Rights aren't abstractions, they continue to exist even when they're not respected.”
José Saramago, Seeing

Eugen Herrigel
“You must learn to wait properly... By letting go of yourself, leaving yourself and everything yours behind you so decisively that nothing more is left of you but a purposeless tension”
Eugen Herrigel, Zen in the Art of Archery

Enrique Vila-Matas
“Some novels even overdramatize events, which, in real life, happen in a far more unassuming and inconsequential way; they happen, then they're over, they run into one another, floating like clouds scattered by the wind between the odd deceptive pause that turns out to be impossible, because time—which no one understands—stops for nothing.”
Enrique Vila-Matas, Mac y su contratiempo

Eugen Herrigel
“Put the thought of hitting right out of your mind! You can be a Master even if every shot does not hit. The hits on the target is only an outward proof and confirmation of your purposelessness at its highest, of your egolessness, your self-abandonment, or whatever you like to call this state. There are different grades of mastery, and only when you have made the last grade will you be sure of not missing the goal.”
Eugen Herrigel, Zen in the Art of Archery

André Aciman
“Aren't those the absolute worst scenarios: the things that might have happened but never did and might still happen though we've given up hoping they could.”
André Aciman, Find Me
