Author: Arturo Pérez Reverte

9. "Normally, when you challenge the conventional wisdom—that the current economic and political system is the only possible one—the first reaction you are likely to get is a demand for a detailed architectural blueprint of how an alternative system would work, down to the nature of its financial instruments, energy supplies, and policies of sewer maintenance. Next, you are likely to be asked for a detailed program of how this system will be brought into existence. Historically, this is ridiculous. When has social change ever happened according to someone's blueprint? It's not as if a small circle of visionaries in Renaissance Florence conceived of something they called "capitalism," figured out the details of how the stock exchange and factories would someday work, and then put in place a program to bring their visions into reality. In fact, the idea is so absurd we might well ask ourselves how it ever occurred to us to imagine this is how change happens to begin."
Author: David Graeber

Con tiempo suficiente, todo se resuelve:todos los dolores se engloban, todas las adversidades desaparecen, todas las pérdidasse clasifican.Polvo eres y en polvo te convertirás. Recuérdalo.Y si el Tiempo se parece en algo a Dios, supongo que la Memoria debe de ser elDiablo."
Author: Diana Gabaldon

15. "The act was an exorcism of relief for Florentino Ariza, for when he put the violin back into its case and walked down the dead streets without looking back, he no longer felt that he was leaving the next morning but that he had gone away many years before with the irrevocable determination never to return."

Perception is reality and yours may be different from mine and that's okay."
Author: Jaeda DeWalt

Author: Janet Frame

22. "Love makes sense to me in the same way that this statement might make sense to you: Parakeets flock like sheep flock like wool covers your eyes like a bald kidnap victim willingly locked in the trunk of an elephant wants to start growing dandelion florets on his head and wear a scarf made from dozens of suicide notes."
Author: Jarod Kintz

23. "Tinha a beleza de Linda um doce alumbre de melancolia, que não era tristeza, pois coavam-se através dos inefáveis contentamentos de sua alma; era sim matiz, que lhe aveludava a graça e influía-lhe um mavioso enlevo. Irmã das flores que vivem nos recessos da floresta, onde se coalham em sombra luminosa os raios filtrados pelo crivo das folhas, respira essa beleza o perfume casto da violeta e da baunilha.Não se admira a mulher que a possui, porque não exerce a fascinação esplêndida das formosuras que cintilam; mas adora-se de joelhos, porque ela tem a santidade do amor."
Author: José De Alencar

"... recuerdo que lo que hace especial a una ciudad no son solo su topografía ni las apariencias concretas de edificios y personas, la mayor parte de las veces creadas a partir de casualidades, sino los recuerdos que ha ido reuniendo la gente que, como yo, ha vivido cincuenta años en las mismas calles, las letras, los colores, las imágenes y la consistencia de las casualidades ocultas o expresas, que es lo que mantiene todo unido."

(I think that particular book of hers wasn't published until the 1970s, not long before her death, but she was an English writer popular in the middle decades of the 20th century.)I'm also a big Pre-Raphaelite fan, so I love William Morris' early fantasy novels.Oh, and "Lud-in-the-Mist" by Hope Mirrlees (Neil Gaiman is a big fan of that one too), and I could go on and on but I won't!"

Those are generally just for someone and although you always hear people moaning that there isn't enough of them, in truth someone does all right. Galleries, museums, basements in Berlin, studio flats, journals, bare walls in urban centers—someone gets what they want and deserve, most of the time. But where are the things that no one wants? Every now and then Alex would see or hear something that appeared to be for no one but soon enough it turned out to be for someone and, after a certain amount of advertising revenue had been spent, would explode into the world for everyone. Who was left to make stuff for no one?"
