Men are like rivers; the water is the same in each, and alike in all; but every river is narrow here, is more rapid there, here slower, there broader, now clear, now cold, now dull, now warm.

He knew her, of course he did, it was just that sometimes reality, the same little reality that served to anchor reality, seemed to fade around the edges, as if the passage... Roberto Bolano
At this command, to Rose's great dismay, six more hands were offered, and it was evident that she was expected to shake them all. Louisa May Alcott
Snowflake. You catch the snowflake but when you look in your hand you don’t have it no more. Maybe you see this dechado. But before you see it it is gone. If you want to see it you have to see it on its own ground. If you catch it you lose it. And where it goes there is no coming back from. Not even God can bring it back. Cormac McCarthy

Nothing less wil satisfy the needs of the world that is coming. Mortimer Adler
