“My philosophy is fundamentally sad, but I’m not a sad man, and I don’t believe I sadden anyone else. In other words, the fact that I don’t put my philosophy into practice saves me from its evil spell, or, rather, my faith in the human race is stronger then my intellectual analysis of it; there lies the fountain of youth in which my heart is continually bathing.” MenBelieveHumansHeartPhilosophyFactsLyingEvilRacePracticeYouthMy HeartIntellectualStrongerDon't BelieveAnalysisHuman RaceSpellsFountainSave MeBathingFountain Of YouthSad Man Author:Antonio Machado

Not asleep, not dreaming— its eyes are opened wide watching distant signals, listening on the rim of vast silence” MindHeartDreamEyeRunningSleepSilenceGoneListeningMy HeartShadowEmptyWideAwakeDrySignalsRimsWide AwakeBeehives Book:Antonio Machado Source: Antonio Machado
