#delusion

When you really think about it, I'm not delusional enough to think that what I do is important to life as we know it on this planet. No. But neither is what you do. ↗

Don Quixote's 'Delusions' is an excellent read - far better than my own forthcoming travel book, 'Walking Backwards Across Tuscany.' ↗

I believed in happily ever after as much as anyone, because Jane Austen, Prince Charming, and Hugh Grant promised me it could happen. But maybe that particular delusion was universal. ↗

I managed to beat Michael Phelps’ 400 meter IM time. And not only did I beat his time, but I did it in exactly 200 meters.

I find it strange how some men simply give up their soul to a woman, and act in obedience to their will. I find it stranger that those same women, are ignorant to the belief that this isn't his real face. Most women don't know what their man looks like when he's not in-love with them. But when that mystical spell is broken, it's like a person seeing the true face of God; only realizing that you simply never understood...their real self. ↗

Niente è facile. Non lo è mai. Se così non fosse sarebbe tutto più semplice: niente dolore, niente delusione, niente solitudine. No, nulla di tutto questo è possibile, perché niente di ciò che realmente conta può essere facile. La gioia nasce dal sacrificio, dalle ginocchia sbucciate, dai cuori infranti. Perché ciò che ci è stato inculcato da bambini non può essere vero: non ci sono favole, non ci sono eroi o grandi imprese, c'è la determinazione di persone semplici che non si arrendono mai! ↗
