Quote by William Ospina

“¿ Por qué morían tan jóvenes?, se pregunta Stefan Zweig hablando de aquella generación y de su lucha con el demonio. Novalis, quien, casi por su voluntad, un día cerró los ojos como un niño y mágicamente murió, decía en sus cuadernos que todos los humanos mueren maduros y en el momento adecuado, cuando han cumplido plenamente el aprendizaje que les corresponde. Ello significaría que Víctor Hugo, Goethe y Voltaire que superaron los ochenta años, no vivieron más que keats, que a los veinticinto dejó de oír al ruiseñor; ni más que Chatterton, quien después de crear un linaje de poetas, sus genealogías, sus obras, su correspondencia, su aparato crítico, sus biografias y su hermenéutica, se extinguió como una llama en su buhardilla a la edad de diescisiete años; ni más que el propio Novalis, que al morir, a los veintinueve, nos reveló que lo había vivido todo.”

“Bruce worked very hard on an obscure document about prophecy and how some people could experience events that were later realized. Scientists did not find any rational explanation for this but often called it a process of intuitive repetition. Bruce also read about second thoughts, often quite unlike the original. They came to some people like a flash, in the middle of the night. Finally, he read a combination of intuitive repetitions and that blazing nights could, as the result of revelation, find of great importance. He read that it was one of those big inventors’ ways of approaching a new unknown. These were difficult concepts to understand, and Bruce fell asleep while reading.”
