«And slowly I thought, OK… it’s impossible, that’s sure, so let’s start working» — Philippe Petit

Instrucciones para salvar el mundo

July 14, 2008 · 2 Comments

“Estaba en uno de esos momentos luminosos que a veces la existencia te regala; instantes de plenitud en los que parece que todo adquiere sentido y que esa sabiduría ya no te va a abandonar el resto de tu vida. Pero esos momentos transparentes también son un espejismo; luego la existencia prosigue y la explosión de luz que un día nos bañó se convierte en el brillo final de un sol que se oculta. Porque siempre está a punto de atardecer en la vida de los humanos.” — Rosa Montero.
