Franz Kafka, Letters to Milena ​

I am constantly trying to communicate something incommunicable, to explain something inexplicable, to tell about something I only feel in my bones and which can only be experienced in those bones.

Jon Krakauer, Into the Wild

"Make a radical change in your lifestyle and begin to boldly do things with previously Which May Never Have you thought of doing, or Been too hesitant to Attempt. So many people live unhappy Within Circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change Their situation Because They are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservation, all of Which May Appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit Within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man's living spirit is His passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with New experiences, and there Hence it is No Greater Joy than to Have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have any available new and different sun. If you want to get more out of life, you must lose your inclination for monotonous security and adopt a helter-skelter style of life That will at first Appear to you to be crazy. But you Become accustomed to eleven Such a life you will see STI full meaning and Its incredible beauty. "

Albert Camus, from Notebooks, 1951-1959

"Find meaning. Distinguish melancholy from sadness. Go out for a walk. It doesn’t have to be a romantic walk in the park, spring at its most spectacular moment, flowers and smells and outstanding poetical imagery smoothly transferring you into another world. It doesn’t have to be a walk during which you’ll have multiple life epiphanies and discover meanings no other brain ever managed to encounter. Do not be afraid of spending quality time by yourself. Find meaning or don’t find meaning but “steal” some time and give it freely and exclusively to your own self. Opt for privacy and solitude. That doesn’t make you antisocial or cause you to reject the rest of the world. But you need to breathe. And you need to be."

Franz Kafka

“I dream of a grave, deep and narrow, where we could clasp each other in our arms as with clamps, and I would hide my face in you and you would hide your face in me, and nobody would ever see us any more”

Simon Van Booy, The Secret Lives of People in Love

“I wonder if things can happen too early or too late or if everything happens at exactly the right time. If so, how sad and beautiful.”

Federico García Lorca, Bodas de sangre

“Porque tú crees que el tiempo cura y que las paredes tapan, y no es verdad, cuando las cosas llegan a los centros, no hay quien las arranque.”

Albert Camus.

"...En medio del odio, descubrí que había, dentro de mí, un amor invencible. En medio de lágrimas, descubrí que había, dentro de mí, una sonrisa invencible. En medio del caos, descubrí que había, dentro de mí, una calma invencible. Me di cuenta, a pesar de todo, eso... En medio del invierno, descubrí que había, dentro de mí, un verano invencible. Y eso me hace feliz. Porque esto dice que no importa lo duro que el mundo empuja contra mí, dentro de mí, hay algo más fuerte — algo mejor, empujando de vuelta"
