BE CURIOUS,

NOT JUDGMENTAL.

Walt Whitman

you are what you listen to

Confía en mí, nunca has soñado poder gritar,

y te enfureces, es horrible el miedo incontenible.

Entonces ven, dame un abrazo,

no te conozco cuando dices, que felices que caras más tristes.

[...]

Some people feel the rain, others just get wet.

Everyone talks about rock these days, the problem is they forget about the roll.

Keith Richards

So if you meet me,

have some courtesy, have some sympathy

and some taste

use all your well-learned politesse.

[Sympathy For The Devil - The Rolling Stones]

MY WORST TRAIT IS PROBABLY INDECISION. PROBABLY. MAYBE

“I walked up the tower, maybe one hour of walking. Some people ask me, “Did you ask the painter for permission?” I said, “My goodness, no. To talk with them was to risk slipping and falling down.” I’ve always been shy and I’ve always been trying to ignore the people I was photographing, so that they ignore me. I’m trying always to take a better picture than the one before but I was not sure of this one. I didn’t think after I shot the picture that I shot something interesting. I learned from Cartier-Bresson what’s called “geometry in photography.” It’s not dependent on what you’d call a good photograph, but good geometry.”

Marc Riboud

be not afraid of greatness

Let It Fall - Lykke Li

The Sun The Trees - Russian Red

Sometimes things are hard to write about.

After something happens to you, you try to write it down, and either you over dramatize it, or underplay it, exaggerate the wrong parts or ignore the important ones.

At any rate, you never write it quite the way you want to.

"Everything that happens once can never happen again.

But everything that happens twice will happen a third time." Paulo Coelho

BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S

- Me casaría con usted si tuviera dinero. Usted conmigo haría lo mismo?

- Inmediatamente.

- Por eso es una suerte que ninguno de los dos seamos ricos.

"Me gustan los cambios,

el no saber qué vendrá después.

Que algo me pille desprevenido.

La incertidumbre, el vértigo,

incluso la inmensa duda de no saber si seré capaz de controlar la situación."

Mr. Maker

an exception to the rule

I'm just a dreamer but I'm hanging on

though I am nothing big to offer

Realmente creo que bajo su apariencia de hombre cínico,

es usted todo un sentimental.

¿Estoy equivocada?

"I dreamed about her but I honestly don't remember when."

THE ROLLING STONES

You can't always get what you want

But if you try sometimes you might find...

You get what you need

Lose your dreams and you might lose your mind. MICK JAGGER

life is an uneasy ride

"Y fue entonces. Fue entonces cuando sin planearlo siquiera, giró la cabeza.

Imagino que pensó en la absurda situación en la que nos encontrábamos. No lo sé. De hecho puede que nunca llegue a saber que invadía en aquel entonces su cabeza.

Sólo sé que me miró con un gesto interesante y al instante estalló.

Estalló a carcajadas.

Yo me detuve.

Y aunque no suelo hacerlo, dediqué un tiempo a pensar que debía hacer.

Rápidamente comprendí que lo mejor era optar por la risa y me uní a la suya."
