“Life is so short, so fragile, so mystifying. After all, how many people do we actually love in the course of a lifetime? Just a few, a tiny few. When most of them are gone, the map of your inner world changes.”

«Piensas que nunca te va a pasar, imposible que te suceda a ti, que eres la única persona del mundo a quien jamás ocurrirán esas cosas, y entonces, una por una, empiezan a pasarte todas, igual que le suceden a cualquier otro.»

The present is a freely given canvas.
That it is constantly being ripped apart and washed downstream goes without saying.

~ Annie Dillard

“I alternate between thinking of the planet as home - dear and familiar stone hearth and garden - and as a hard land of exile in which we are all sojourners.”

it may be that not until many years have elapsed will we recall that the most important event in our emotional life occurred without our having time to give it any prolonged attention
