“When I first met you, I felt a kind of contradiction in you. You’re seeking something, but at the same time, you are running away for all you’re worth.”
Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore (via Carmen Cañas)
but it takes a lot of courage ot go against what you have been thought all your life.
Across all things move the soul
And unique space:
The inner space of the world silently
fly with birds wholly through us
Oh, I who wish to grow, I
look without and it is in me
that the tree grows
Rilke

“What was the happiest moment of your life?”
“When I discovered that I loved theater, because that set up everything else.”
In the United States there’s a Puritan ethic and a mythology of success. He who is succesful is good. In Latin countries, in Catholic countries, a successful person is a sinner.
Umberto Eco
