Eu sinto a falta de nós dois
Caminhando pelo asfalto
Se enrolando num abraço
 
 
 

 
         
           

J'ai pas voulu pourtant c'est ainsi
J'ai pas choisi d'être seul ici
     
Si loin de moi
 
 
   

 
         
           

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.
  
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
   

Now that would be new: falling in love in slow motion. Like landing in love, rather than falling. Could that ever work or would that count as something else? Oh, we shall see, experiments never end!
   

Mantra 50

On est jamais perdant quand on aime.

   

Don't give up.
The answer is in a book, song or movie.
Look for it.
    

Si un escritor se enamora de ti, nunca morirás.
    

Dear heart, if I may
You are beauty of the earth
You are broken like a glass
You don't know what you are worth

 
     
     

Lo malo, sentir que el corazón se estruja.
Lo bueno, ver que todavía funciona.
   

Dos cosas que suceden y para las cuales no encuentro explicación:

- Que un alumno te pregunte si, en francés, para referirse a las bombillas de luz se usa la palabra "ampolla".
- Saber que "ampolla" se dice "ampoule" en francés.
      

El reloj de pared de mi habitación se detuvo a las 11:47 hace tres días y, de momento, no pienso cambiarle las pilas.
      

Si lo que quieres es tener mucho, probablemente has viajado poco.
     

Mantra 49

We are a flash in time, but our impact is forever.
  

True love will find you in the end
This is a promise with a catch
Only if you're looking can it find you
'Cause true love is searching too
But how can it recognize you
Unless you step out into the light?

 
   
   

When the time comes, I shall not be on my own.
  

Mantra 48

Much or most of the misery of human life results from the false view of self.

  

Let's get one thing straight: after reading a book, you change. There's a transformation, a new you. That new version of yourself is what you will keep forever, not the content of the book. That content can be forgotten.

   

Que una alumna te agradezca una explicación, porque... "me hacía un merequetengue con todo".

  

It's so nice when people remember you
(in spite of yourself).
  

The way they act, I'd rather be fat than be confused
Than be me in a cage
With a bottle of rage
And a family like the mafia
