There are pretenses which are very sincere, and marriage is their school. - Miguel de Unamuno

«¿Por qué el diminutivo es señal de cariño? — iba diciéndose Augusto camino de su casa — . ¿Es acaso que el amor achica la cosa amada?

If it is nothingness that awaits us, let us make an injustice of it, let us fight against destiny, even without hope of victory.

Just as eunuchs will never know aesthetics as applied to the selection of beautiful women, so neither will pure rationalists ever know ethics, nor will they ever succeed in defining happiness, for happiness is a thing that is lived and felt, not a thing that is reasoned or defined.
