NIGHT THOUGHTS

"I have reflected many times upon our rigid search. It has shown me that everything is illuminated in the light of the past. It is always along the side of us, on the inside, looking out. Like you say, inside out. ... in this way, I will always be along the side of your life. And you will always be along the side of mine." from the film Everything Is Illuminated, 2005 directed by Liev Schreiber

"What's done can't be undone"

William Shakespeare

"Entre lo que veo y digo,
Entre lo que digo y callo,
Entre lo que callo y sueño,
Entre lo que sueño y olvido"

Octavio Paz

"Absence cools moderate passions, and inflames violent ones; just as the wind blows out candles, but kindles fires."

François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613-1680)

"It was inevitable: the scent of bitter almonds always reminded him of the fate of unrequited love. . . his most sympathetic opponent in chess, had escaped the torments of memory with the aromatic fumes of gold cyanide."

Love in the Time of Cholera ~
Gabriel Garica Marquez
