Dormir, el olvido pequeño. Una lenta ceremonia incomprensible nos habìa acercado en la noche desde nuestras infinitas distancias.
"Muy pronto, por desgracia, uno de los dos hará lo convencional. Dirá lo que hay que decir, cometerá la tontería estatuida, se irá o volverá o se equivocará o llorará o se matará o se sacrificará o se aguantará o se enamorará de otro... y dejaremos de ser lo que fuimos."Modelo para armar, Julio Cortázar
“But I’m not a sad person, on the contrary, I’m a happy person. I have many friends and two wonderful dogs. Sometimes I think that it would be nice to have someone with whom to share this life. For example, as I was looking down on Paris from atop a skyscraper, I wanted to say to someone: “It’s beautiful, isn’t it?” But there isn’t anyone…
…I sat down on a bench and ate the sandwich I had bought. And then something happened something that is hard to describe. Sitting there, alone in a foreign country, far from my job and all the people I knew a feeling came over me. As if I recalled something, something that I had never known and for which I had been waiting but I didn’t know what it was.Maybe it was something I had forgotten. Or something I had missed my whole life. I can only tell you that at the same time I felt joy and sadness but not a great sadness. Because I felt alive. Yes. Alive”
¿Qué es la vida? Un frenesí. ¿Qué es la vida? Una ilusión, una sombra, una ficción; y el mayor bien es pequeño: que toda la vida es sueño y los sueños, sueños son.
Pedro Calderón de la Barca
