A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects!

Does love hurt?
“It’s not love that hurts. It’s the infatuation with what we so blindly accept as love that hurts. True love should never have to hurt.”
via lovebot
“Love is always a good thing, no matter how much it hurts. Even after it’s over, even through the pain, anyone who has ever really loved will tell you that they never regretted a second of it, no matter how much it hurt in the end. And if you tell me differently, I will tell you that you were not truly in love.”

Delirios
No man is happy without a delusion of some kind. Delusions are as necessary to our happiness as realities.
Christian Nestell Bovee (via)
[Ningún hombre es feliz sin un delirio de algún tipo. Los delirios son necesarios como realidades para nuestra felicidad.]
Los ordenadores son inútiles. Sólo pueden darte respuestas.

Change and time
History is affected by discoveries we will make in the future.
-Karl Popper
Vórtice
Del mar, a la montaña,
por el aire,
en la tierra,
de una boca a otra boca,
dando vueltas,
girando,
entre muebles y sombras
displicente,
gritando,
he perdido la vida,
no sé dónde,
ni cuándo.
Oliverio Girondo
Felicidad
Nunca me importó que la felicidad durara poco. El paso de la dicha a la costumbre es una de las mejores armas de la muerte.
[Julio Cortázar, Los Premios, 1960]
