Therefore, since the world has still
Much good, but much less good than ill,
And while the sun and moon endure
Luck’s a chance, but trouble’s sure,
I’d face it as a wise man would,
And train for ill and not for good.
—A. E. Housman, A Shropshire Lad
We may be through with the past, but the past ain’t through with us.
—PAUL THOMAS ANDERSON , Magnolia
What country more dear or defiant than that of our own blood?
—ANONYMOUS
No hay reglas fijas.
