Only fools rush in

Like a river flows, surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes somethings are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help, falling in love with you...

Solidão apavora

"What Flaubert's two clowns discovered is what we have always known and seldom believed: that the acumulation of knowledge isn't  knowledge."

Alberto Manguel, Library at night

Saving kisses

Cheese makes everything better

"Quando acordaram de manhã, na mesma cama, ela disse-lhe que queria ter um passado com ele. Não era um futuro, que é uma coisa incerta, mas um passado, que é isso que têm dois velhos depois de passarem uma vida juntos. Quando disse que queria ter um passado com alguém, queria dizer tudo. Não desejava uma incerteza, mas a História, a verdade."

Afonso Cruz in "Jesus Cristo Bebia Cerveja" (Alfaguara)

There's always that one guy, that one moment

"That thing, that moment, when you kiss someone and everything around becomes hazy and the only thing in focus is you and this person and you realize that that person is the only person that you're supposed to kiss for the rest of your life, and for one moment you get this amazing gift and you want to laugh and you want to cry because you feel so lucky that you found it and so scared that that it will go away all at the same time."
