Love and death

Sonja: To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer; not to love is to suffer; to suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy, then, is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be unhappy, one must love or love to suffer or suffer from too much happiness. I hope you're getting this down


Boris: The question is have I learned anything about life. Only that human being are divided into mind and body. The mind embraces all the nobler aspirations, like poetry and philosophy, but the body has all the fun. The important thing, I think, is not to be bitter... if it turns out that there IS a God, I don't think that He's evil. I think that the worst you can say about Him is that basically He's an underachiever. After all, there are worse things in life than death. If you've ever spent an evening with an insurance salesman, you know what I'm talking about. The key is, to not think of death as an end, but as more of a very effective way to cut down on your expenses. Regarding love, heh, what can you say? It's not the quantity of your sexual relations that counts. It's the quality. On the other hand if the quantity drops below once every eight months, I would definitely look into. Well, that's about it for me folks. Goodbye.

Que gran, gran pelicula <3

Me caigo y me levanto


"Nadie puede dudar de que las cosas recaen. Un señor se enferma y de golpe un miercoles recae. Un lapiz en la mesa recae seguido. Las mujeres como recaen (...) Todo recayente tiene en ya en sí un rehabilitante pero el problema, para nosotros los que pensamos nuestra vida, es confuso y casi infinito (...) No toda recaida va de arriba a abajo, porque arriba y abajo no quieren decir gran cosa cuando ya no se sabe dónde se está" 

Julio Cortázar
