“He thought that in the beauty of the world were hid a secret. He thought that the world’s heart beat at some terrible cost and that the world’s pain and its beauty moved in a relationship of diverging equity and that in this headlong deficit the blood of multitudes might ultimately be exacted for the vision of a single flower.”
― Cormac McCarthy, All the Pretty Horses

“But the days are a web of small troubles,
And is there a greater blessing
Than to be the ash of which oblivion is made?
Pero los dias son una red de triviales miserias,
y habra suerte mejor que la ceniza
de que esat hecho el ovido?”
― Jorge Luis Borges, Selected Poems

“The desires of the heart are as crooked as corkscrews
Not to be born is the best for man
The second best is a formal order
The dance's pattern, dance while you can.
Dance, dance, for the figure is easy
The tune is catching and will not stop
Dance till the stars come down from the rafters
Dance, dance, dance till you drop.”
― W.H. Auden
