It is impossible to love and to be wise.

Francis Bacon

Barbara Ehrenreich

A good friend who points out mistakes and imperfections and rebukes evil is to be respected as if he reveals a secret of hidden treasure.

Buddha

Me pregunto cómo sería el mundo si todos viviéramos realmente como si no hubiera mañana.
