"Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer" -Rainer Rilke

everything will be ok
in the end

if it's not okay,
it's not the end

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

By the way, you have to trust that whatever's supposed to happen, will hapen.

Un buen día te mueres y dejas de conectarte a Internet. Ahí se acaba todo.

People break down into two groups when they experience something lucky. Group number one sees it as more than luck, more than coincidence. They see it as a sign, evidence, that there is someone up there, watching over them. Group number two sees it as just pure luck. Just happy chance. And surely, the people in Group number two are looking at those fourteen lights in a very suspicious way. For them, the situation is fifty-fifty. Could be bad, Could be good. But deep down, they feel that whatever happens, they're on their own. And that fills them with fear. Yeah, there are those people. But there's a whole lot of people in the Group number one. When they see those fourteen lights, they're looking at a miracle. And deep down, they feel that whatever's going to happen, there will be someone there to help them. And that fills them with hope. So what you have to ask yourself is what kind of person are you: are you the kind that sees signs, sees miracles? Or do you believe that people just get lucky? Or, look at the question this way: Is it possible that there are no coincidences?" (Father Graham, Signs)

"There is no such thing as a natural death. Nothing that happens to Man is ever natural, since his presence calls the whole world into question. All men must die, but for every man his death is an accident. And even if he knows it and consents to it, an unjustifiable violation." -Beauvoir, Simone de
