0cfc09c The sea was cruel and selfish as human beings, and in its monstrous simplicity had no notion of complexities like pity, wounding, or remorse... You could see yourself in it... while the wind, the light, the swaying, the sound of the water on the hull worked the miracle of distancing, calming you until you didn't hurt anymore, erasing any pity, any wound, and any remorse. Arturo Pérez-Reverte

a14ccd7 Era usted un buen fotografo porque fotografiar es encuadrar, y encuadrar es elegir y excluir. Salvar unas cosas y condenar otras. No todo el mundo puede hacer eso: erguirse juez de cuanto pasa alrededor. Nadie que ame de verdad puede dictar esa clase de sentencias. Arturo Pérez-Reverte

8b5598b You can get used to anything, especially when you have no option. If you have to pay, you pay; it's just a question of attitude.

You burn your boats, and then all you can do is defend that position, come what may. Arturo Pérez-Reverte
19696c0 A century from now," he murmured as he lifted a page and examined it against the light, closing one eye, "almost all the contents of today's libraries will have disappeared. But these books, printed two hundred or even five hundred years ago, will remain intact. We have the books, and the world, that we deserve. . . . Isn't that so, Pablo?" "Lousy books printed on lousy paper." -- Arturo Pérez-Reverte
2dff749 Todas las guerras son malas, pero la guerra civil es la peor de todas, pues enfrenta al amigo con el amigo, al vecino con el vecino, al hermano contra el hermano. Hace casi 80 anos, entre 1936 y 1939, en tiempos de nuestros abuelos y bisabuelos, una espantosa guerra civil tuvo lugar en Espana. Causo miles de muertos, destruyo hogares, arruino el pais y llevo a mucha gente al exilio. Para evitar que tan desoladora tragedia vuelva a repetirse.. españa español guerra-civil pérez-reverte spanish Arturo Pérez-Reverte

71db98c Ali Baba protects the lovers! Gives them the luck of bandits, and no guilt, for love fills certain people and expands them beyond all laws; there is no time, no place for regrets, hesitations, cowardices. Love runs free and reckless, and all the gentle trickeries perpetrated to protect others from its burns-those who are not the lovers but who might be the victims of this love's expansion. book-quotes books Anaïs Nin

5bafcd7 Paul, Paul, this is the claim you never made, the fervor you never showed. You were so cool and light, so elusive, and I never felt you encircling me and claiming possession. Rango is saying all the words I wanted to hear you say. You never came close to me, even while taking me. You took me as men take foreign women in distant countries whose language they cannot speak. You took me in silence and strangeness. book-quotes books Anaïs Nin

43a3dbc the discovery of each other brings a kind of peace, because it brings the certitude that we are right. We are stronger together ... we will have less doubts." This seemed deeply true, yet I wonder if it is good to ally similarities, one agreeing with the other, as twins might, so that this might give an illusion of balance, reassure us about our orientation, or whether we should seek this by contrast with others," -- Anaïs Nin
f160293 I gave him the one thing June cannot give him: honesty. I am so ready to admit what a supremely developed ego would not admit: that June is a terrifying and inspiring character who makes every other woman insipid, that I would live her life except for my compassion and my conscience, that she may destroy Henry the man, but Henry the writer is more enriched by ordeals than by peace.

b5289bc I am most deeply concerned over a trend toward conformity, a growth of anti-intellectualism, which manifests itself in a sneering attitude toward education, science, and the arts. The tendency is to stifle mental freedom, which is the very basis of a democracy's life and growth. Anaïs Nin
a61f451 The origin of illness may be in the past, but the virulent crisis must be dynamically tackled. I believe in attacking the core of the illness, through its present symptoms, quickly, directly. The past is a labyrinth. One does not have to step into it and move step by step through every turn and twist. The past reveals itself instantly, in today's fever or abscess of the soul. madness neurosis past-and-present Anaïs Nin
41d93aa The more hunger, the greater the desires, like those of men in prison, wild and haunting. So we had here a perfect world in which to grow the flower of eroticism. Of course, if you get too hungry, too continuously, you become a bum, a tramp. Anaïs Nin
