Life is the duty that we took home to do.

The dream world is as silent as the world under sea. That’s why it’s good to dream.
Don’t avoid doing something you like due to lack of time, because the only thing lacking will be that time which, unfortunately, will never come back.
One day we discover that despite having lived almost a century that it wasn’t enough time to achieve all of our dreams, to say everything that has to be said…
A lie is a truth that forgot to happen.

When someone slanders you
Who knows what could be

Interior peace, if you want to attain it,
Do not leave anything incomplete or put off for later.
There is nothing that gives us a more restful sleep
Than awell-executed vengeance…
Be good
But to the heart

Even when the given situation is not at all cheerful…
And that this smile of mine may transmit peace
Toall those around me.
Of the taste of things:
For as rare as it may be,

Only one wine is duly excellent:
The one you drink calmly
With your oldest
And most silent friend…
Of analysis:

Their abysmal lenses.
But the problem is the ones who profit off this,
Who always have a few more leads to follow…
Of the eternal search:
Only the restless desire, non-passing
Brings enchantment to the object of desire…
And we end up disdaining the hunt
Out of the crazy adventure of hunting
