"... he allowed himself to be swayed by his convictions that human beings
are not born once and for all on the day their mothers give birth to them, but that life
obliges them over and over again to give birth to themselves."
Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Love in the Time of Cholera
"There is really nothing you must be,
And there is nothing you must do
There is really nothing you must have
And there is really nothing you must know.
There is really nothing you must become. However, It helps to understand
that fire burns and when it rains, the earth gets wet..."
Manabu Foljamaris
