It's funny how, in this journey of life, even though we may begin at different times and places, our paths cross with others so that we may share our love, compassion, observations, and hope. This is a design of God that I appreciate and cherish. ↗

Koji mi to rat vodimo, s očitim porazom? Jutro za jutrom, već satrti od svih tih bitaka koje dolaze, vodimo svakidašnji užas tim beskonačnim hodnikom koji će u zadnjim trenucima biti ravan sudbini, jer smo tako dugo išli njime. Da, anđele, to je svakidašnjica: mrzovoljna, prazna i prepuna jada. U njoj krugovi pakla nisu nikakva rijetkost,; jednog dana zaplačeš jer si predugo bio ondje. Iz hodnika u krugove: tako se dogodi pad, bez sudara i bez iznenađenja. Svaki dan, mirimo se s tugom hodnika i, korak po korak, idemo putem svog mračnog prokletstva. ↗

Schism in the soul, schism in the body social, will not be resolved by any scheme to return to the good old days (archaism), or by programs guaranteed to render an ideal projected future (futurism), or even by the most realistic, hardheaded work to weld together again the deteriorating elements [of civilization]. Only birth can conquer death―the birth, not of the old thing again, but of something new. ↗

Anda, niña- le dijo temblando de rabia-: dinos quién fue. Ella se demoró apenas el tiempo necesario para decir el nombre. Lo buscó en las tinieblas, lo encontró a primera vista entre los tantos y tantos nombres confundibles de este mundo y del otro, y lo dejó clavado en la pared con su dardo certero, como a una mariposa sin albedrío cuya sentencia estaba escrita para siempre. -Santiago Nasar- le dijo. ↗
