"La gente le tiene miedo al silencio y a la soledad, porque cuando los padecen, comienzan a escuchar lo que realmente tienen en la cabeza." Entre olvido y cenizas hubo alguna vez hubo una vereda al hogar. Fanático de la lectura de misterio, ciencia ficción y terror; El desastre Chernobyl no deja de impresionarme.

-What would you like to tell young people?
-I don’t know… I think I’d like to say only that they should learn to be alone and try to spend as much time as possible by themselves. I think one of the faults of young people today is that they try to come together around events that are noisy, almost aggressive at times. This desire to be together in order to not feel alone is an unfortunate symptom, in my opinion. Every person needs to learn from childhood how to spend time with oneself. That doesn’t mean he should be lonely, but that he shouldn’t grow bored with himself because people who grow bored in their own company seem to me in danger, from a self-esteem point of view.

Andrei tarkovsky

The time will come when diligent research over long periods will bring to light things which now lie hidden. A single lifetime, even though entirely devoted to the sky, would not be enough for the investigation of so vast a subject… And so this knowledge will be unfolded only through long successive ages. There will come a time when our descendants will be amazed that we did not know things that are so plain to them… Many discoveries are reserved for ages still to come, when memory of us will have been effaced. Our universe is a sorry little affair unless it has in it something for every age to investigate… Nature does not reveal her mysteries once and for all.

Seneca the Younger, 1st Century CE
