Raúl’s Quotes

“Even something harsh and difficult is a comfort if we choose it ourselves. If it is imposed on us by others, it is agony.”
― Cesare Pavese

“Las de los gitanos son muertes buenas. O a mí me lo parecen, aunque las enfermeras no opinen lo mismo, ni tampoco los celadores. Siempre llegan en manada, y exigen estar con la persona moribunda, besarla y abrazarla, desenchufan y estropean los televisores y los monitores y los demás aparatos. Lo mejor de las muertes de los gitanos es que nunca hacen callar a sus niños. Los adultos aúllan y lloran y gimen, pero los niños siguen correteando por ahí, juegan y ríen sin que nadie les diga que deben estar tristes o ser respetuosos.”
― Lucia Berlin

“The problem is that you THINK that you have to be motivated to do something, instead of just doing it and then having it done. Tip: The willingness to do things comes with action. Don’t wait until you feel like going to the gym and exercising. Start exercising right away and there’s a huge possibility that you’ll feel the desire to continue.”
― Ian Tuhovsky, Zen: Beginner's Guide: Happy, Peaceful and Focused Lifestyle for Everyone (Buddhism, Meditation, Mindfulness, Success)

“Para sentir placer necesitamos el no-confort. Se disfruta de comer cuando se siente hambre. A medida que nuestras sociedades son más y más confortables, es más y más difícil disfrutar. Por eso buscamos vacaciones de ese confort, para volver a sentir placer por comer arroz cocido, beber agua casi potable o abrigarse con un saco de dormir.”
― Miquel Silvestre, Diario de un nómada: Un emocionante viaje, un continente por descubrir, una genuina aventura
