You complain because things don't arrange themselves around you like a bouquet of flowers, without your taking the slightest trouble to do anything. … - Jean-Paul Sartre

" "

You complain
because things don't arrange themselves around you like a bouquet of flowers, without your taking the
slightest trouble to do anything. But I have never asked as much: I wanted action. You know, when we
played adventurer and adventuress: you were the one who had adventures, I was the one who made
them happen.

presente. ¿Qué necesidad tiene de realizarse?¿Qué ganará con
ello?
