"Write without thinking of the result in terms of a result,
but think of the writing in terms of discovery."

"Escribe sin pensar en el resultado en términos de un resultado,
pero piensa en la escritura en términos de descubrimiento."
Gertrude Stein

Loved reading.



"Insist on yourself, never imitate.
Your own gift you can present
every moment
with the cumulative force
of a whole life's cultivation."

"Insiste en ti mismo, nunca imites.
Tu propio regalo lo puedes presentar
cada momento con la fuerza acumulativa
de una vida entera de cultivo.""
Ralph Waldo Emerson

__________________________________________


for twelve long years.
Grades passed
like centuries.

Take my advice. Pass by.
There is no life at this stop.
Send your children to plant their dreams.

Grades disappear with years.
What is left
is what you love.

"The artist is the person who has concentrated on his inner world and tried to protect it,
through painting or music or whatever it was,
in order to give it to you."

El artista es el persona que se ha concentrado en su mundo interno y ha intentado protegerlo,
con la pintura o la música o lo que era, para darlela.
Anais Nin
