Fallo cardiaco individual. Tu sueno, el sueno de Welty, el sueno de Vermeer. Tu ves un cuadro, yo veo otro, el libro de arte lo pone a cierta distancia, la mujer que compra la postal en la tienda de regalos del museo ve algo totalmente diferente, y eso por no mencionar a la gente de la que estamos separados por el tiempo: cuatrocientos anos antes de que llegaramos nosotros u otros cuatrocientos despues de que nos hayamos ido, nunca afectara..

Nunca he trazado una linea tan firme entre el <> y el <>. Para mi esa linea a menudo es falsa. Nunca estan tan desconectados el uno del otro. No pueden existir por su cuenta. Mientras actue guiado por el amor creo que estoy haciendolo lo mejor que se. En cambio tu, envuelto en tus juicios, lamentando siempre el pasado, maldiciendote a ti mismo, culpandote y preguntandote <>. <> <

Tiene algun sentido saber que termina mal para todos, incluso para los mas felices, pues al final todos perdemos lo que importa, y saber al mismo tiempo que, pese a ello, con toda la crueldad que implica el juego, es posible jugar con una especie de alegria?

Es terrible aprender de nino que uno es algo separado del resto del mundo, que nada ni nadie sufre con nosotros cuando nos escaldamos la lengua o nos hacemos un rasguno en una rodilla, que nuestros males y dolores son solo nuestros. Aun mas terrible, a medida que crecemos, es aprender que nadie, por muy querido que sea, podra nunca comprendernos de verdad. Nuestro propio yo nos hace profundamente infelices, y esa es la razon por la cual est..

Idolatria! Amar tanto a los objetos puede acabar destruyendote. Lo que ocurre es que si cuidas algo lo suficiente cobra vida propia. ?Y no es ese el proposito de los objetos, de las cosas hermosas, ponerte en contacto con una belleza mas grande?

Es peligroso ignorar la existencia de lo irracional. Cuanto mas cultivada es una persona, cuanto mas inteligente y mas reprimida, mas necesita algun medio de canalizar los impulsos primitivos que tanto se ha esforzado en suprimir.

Si un cuadro te llega de verdad al corazon y cambia tu forma de mirar, de pensar, de sentir, no piensas: <> o <>. Esa no es la razon por la que alguien ama una obra de arte. Es un susurro secreto desde un callejon: <>.

De algun modo el presente se habia contraido convirtiendose en un lugar mas pequeno y mucho menos interesante. Tal vez era eso lo que ocurria cuando la gente se hacia mayor.

That life--whatever else it is--is short. That fate is cruel but maybe not random. That Nature (meaning Death) always wins but that doesn't mean we have to bow and grovel to it.

with real greatness, there's a jolt at the end of the wire. It doesn't matter how often you grab hold of the line, or how many people have grabbed hold of it before you. It's the same line. Fallen from a higher life. It still carries some of the same shock.

En el negocio de las antiguedades no existia lo que se entiende por un precio <>. El valor objetivo --el de catalogo-- no significaba nada. Si aparecia un cliente despistado con dinero en la mano (como hacian la mayoria), no importaba lo que dijeran los expertos, lo que pusiera en los libros o lo que se hubiera pagado hacia poco en Christie's por una pieza similar. Un objeto --cualquiera-- valia lo que eras capaz de sacar por el.

Few years ago, we were up north in Canada, in Alberta, this one-street town off the Pouce Coupe River? Dark the whole time, October to March, and fuck-all to do except read and listen to CBC radio. Had to drive fifty klicks to do our washing. Still --" he laughed - "loads better than Ukraine. Miami Beach, compared."

But then, six months ago, my dad hauled me with him to this shaddy town in Alaska. Seward Peninsula, just below Arctic Circle? And then, middle of May--we flew to Fairbanks on a prop plane, and then we came here.

since we'd both been through so many of the same things, she and I, and we were an awful lot alike--too much. And because we'd both been hurt so badly, so early on, in violent and irremediable ways that most people didn't, and couldn't, understand, wasn't it a bit... precarious? A matter of self-preservation? Two rickety and death-driven persons who would need to lean on each other quite so much? not to say she wasn't doing well at the mome..

Pippa stessa e il gioco tra questi due opposti, l'amore e il non-amore, l'esserci e il non-esserci. Fotografie sul muro, un calzino arrotolato sotto il divano. Il momento in cui ho allungato la mano per toglierle qualcosa dai capelli e lei ha riso e si e scostata per evitare il mio tocco. E cosi come la musica e lo spazio tra le note, cosi come le stelle sono belle per il vuoto che le separa, cosi come il sole colpisce le gocce di pioggia d..
