It was, with no attempt at covering itself, the naked heart of a woman calling out to her man. - Yasunari Kawabata

"When you die, there is nothing — only a life that will be forgotten."

-from "Gathering Ashes"

Time passed. But time flows in many streams. Like a river, an inner stream of time will flow rapidly at some places and sluggishly at others, or perhaps even stand hopelessly stagnant. Cosmic time is the same for everyone, but human time differs with each person. Time flows in the same way for all human beings; every human being flows through time in a different way.

Los viejos tienen la muerte, y los jóvenes el amor, y la muerte viene una sola vez y el amor muchas.
