“Summer afternoon -- summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.”

Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.

La vida es corta, rompe las reglas, perdona rápidamente, besa lentamente, ama de verdad, ríe incontrolablemente y nunca lamentes nada de lo que te hizo sonreír. La vida puede no ser la fiesta que esperábamos, pero mientras estamos aquí debemos bailar.

The hardest single part of building
a software system is deciding
precisely what to build. No other
part of the conceptual work is as
difficult as establishing the
detailed technical requirements.
No other part of the work so
cripples the resulting system if
done wrong. No other part is as
difficult to rectify later.

Una pequeña cuestión: Si el mundo se fuera a acabar, ¿qué haría usted?

Creo que la vida nos parecería bruscamente deliciosa, si estuviéramos amenazados de morir como usted lo dice. Piense, en efecto, cuántos proyectos, viajes, amores, estudios, ella -nuestra vida- mantiene en disolución, invisibles a nuestra pereza que, segura del futuro, los aplaza sin cesar.

Pero que todo eso arriesgue ser para siempre imposible, ¡cuán bello se volvería! ¡Ah! si solamente el cataclismo no tiene lugar esta vez, no dejaremos de visitar las nuevas salas del Louvre, de echarnos a los pies de Mlle X…, de visitar las Indias. El cataclismo no tiene lugar, no hacemos nada de todo eso, pues nos encontramos recolocados en el seno de la vida normal, en la que la negligencia enmohece el deseo.

Y no obstante, no habríamos debido tener necesidad del cataclismo para amar hoy la vida. Habría bastado pensar que somos humanos y que esta tarde puede venir la muerte.

Marcel Proust, Ensayos y Artículos, 1922

"lo malo no es caerse, sino caerse y no intentar levantarse o no querer volver a intentarlo".-Gustavo Pérez

If there's one thing I've learned, it's that you can't schedule love.
-Scrubs (Kelso)
I guess it comes down to how we want to be seen by other people. Some people want to be seen as the rebel. Some people just want to be seen, period. Some people have limits on how far they'll go to protect their image. For me, it was when I stopped worrying about how other people saw me that I finally started to look better.”
-Scrubs
"different doesn't always mean bad, it just means different."
-Scrubs (JD)
I've been thinking a lot lately about taking chances, and how it's really just about overcoming your fears. Because the truth is, every time you take a big risk in your life, no matter how it ends up, you're always glad you took it.

-JD
I don't think people are meant to be by themselves. That's why if you actually find someone you care about, it's important to let go of the little things, even if you can't let go all the way. Because nothings sucks more than feeling all alone, no matter how many people are around.
-Scrubs (J.D.)
Because even if it breaks your heart to be 'just friends', if you really care about someone, you'll take the hit.
-Scrubs (J.D.)
But in the end, the most important thing to accept is that no matter how alone you feel, how painful it may be, with the help of those around you...you'll get through this too.

-JD (3x14: My Screw Up)
The harder you push yourself to do something, the harder it is to back out.

-JD (503, My Day at the Races)
Nothing in this world that's worth having comes easy.

-Dr. Kelso (420, My Boss's Free Haircut)
Lady, people aren't chocolates. Do you know what they are mostly? Bastards. Bastard-coated bastards with bastard fillings.

-Dr. Cox (407, My Common Enemy)
By the way, you have to trust that whatever's supposed to happen, will hapen.

-JD (322, My Best Friend's Wedding)
Don't look at me like that! This is your fault, anyway! You two made me dream again.

-Janitor (319, My Choosiest Choice of All)
You know, when I was a kid, I got a sunburn like that and just peeled all the skin off, put it in a pile, and ate it.
-Elliot (216, My Karma)
You know, Elliot, what I do for a living, it doesn't make me feel like I'm any less of a man. Neither does my love of baking...or gardening...or the fact that I occasionally menstruate.

-Paul (215, His Story)
Dr. Reid, this is not bring your problems to work day, this is just work day.

-Dr. Kelso (210, My Monster)
You know what you've done Newbie? Jordan is going to hold this over my head so long, I'll never see the sun again. And I liked the sun newbie. It made me hopeful.

-Dr. Cox (111, My Own Personal Jesus)
