Wisdom is nothing more than the marriage of intelligence and compassion. And, as with all good unions, it takes much experience and time to reach its widest potential. Have you introduced your intellect to your compassion yet? Be careful; lately, intellect has taken to eating in front of the TV and compassion has taken in too many cats. ↗


— Vera Nazarian

Didn’t I stand there once, white-knuckled, gripping the just-lit taper, swearing I’d never go back? And hadn’t you kissed the rain from my mouth? And weren’t we gentle and awed and afraid, knowing we’d stepped from the room of desire into the further room of love? And wasn’t it sacred, the sweetness we licked from each other’s hands? And were we not lovely, then, were we not as lovely as thunder, and damp grass, and flame? ↗

Yo me dediqué a hacer críticas, muchas veces despiadadas, de la conducta del mexicano - y de la mexicana. El mexicano es el pueblo, pero yo nunca pinté al pueblo como lo pintaban los antiguos caricaturistas, en calidad de eterna e impotente víctima de los poderosos, llamándole 'Juan Pueblo'. Yo incluí al mexicano entre los culpables de lo que ocurre en México. Tal vez el principal culpable. El problema de México es el subdesarrollo, eso es nuestra vergüenza, y de ella somos culpables todos. El subdesarrollo es causado por la desigualdad y la injusticia, tiene como motor descompuesto la ineptitud y en la basura que produce florece, mejor que en ninguna otra parte, la corrupción". ↗

En ningún caso, solía insistir, comprendían los magos necesariamente su arte, a pesar de que la experiencia lo había llevado a un par de conclusiones generales sobre el tema. Por ejemplo, que cada vez que aprendía algo nuevo sobre sus poderes, esos poderes disminuían, o en todo caso, quedaban alterados. ↗

A wedding is for daughters and fathers. The mothers all dress up, trying to look like young women. But a wedding is for a father and daughter. They stop being married to each other on that day. ↗

She blew a warm breeze on his face and rustled his hair and embraced him in a warm haze and he felt her nonthreatening presence. She looked down and saw his face stained with tears, nobody could reach him in his grief but she could. He saw her and blew her a kiss goodbye. She flew down in a haze in a white dress with wings and whispered into his ear “please don’t cry I am in a better place. Marriage was forever. Love and life was forever. My body died but my soul lives on for eternity”. (Katie) “The rain stopped suddenly and the grey sky cleared into a bright blue colour and a glowing warm orange sun appeared to show her appreciation. A perfect blue sky remained on the dark winter’s day until after the ceremony and the hailstone and rain commenced again and the dark sky reappeared as the funeral car drove away ↗
