DAS APARÊNCIAS QUE NÃO SÃO O QUE APARENTAM

 “I quite agree with you. And the moral of that is: Be what you would seem to be, or if you'd like it put more simply: Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise.”

DOS PEQUENOS ÓDIOS QUE NÃO O SÃO

 “Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.”

(Neil Gaiman)

DAS CERTEZAS ABSOLUTAS

 “But I would rather my heart be broken than unopened and I know one must ask if one is to receive.”

(JR Ward in Lover Mine)

DOS DESEJOS

"Há duas tragédias na vida: uma a de não satisfazermos os nossos desejos, a outra a de os satisfazermos."

 

(Oscar Wilde)

"Nunca subestime a capacidade de um homem de subestimar uma mulher."

(Bonita e Perigosa, 1991)

SOMOS LO QUE SOÑAMOS SER

Somos lo que soñamos ser y ese sueño no es tanto una meta como una energía. Cada día es una crisálida, cada día alumbra una metamorfosis. Caemos, nos levantamos. Cada día la vida empieza de nuevo.

La vida es un acto de resistencia e de re existencia. Vivimos, revivimos. Pero todo se sostiene en la memoria. Somos lo que recordamos. La memoria es nuestro hogar nómada. Como las plantas o las aves emigrantes, los recuerdos tienen la estrategia de la luz van hacia adelante a la manera del remero que se desplaza de espaldas para ver mejor.

Hay un dolor parecidoal dolor de muelas, a la pérdida física y es perder algún recuerdo que queremos. Esas fotos imprescindibles en el álbum de la vida. Por eso hay una clase de melancolía que no atrapa, sino que nutre la libertad. En esa melancolía, como espuma en las olas, se alzan los sueños.

Manuel Rivas
