“Please… Whoever you are, whatever you are… I believe in you even though I don’t completely understand you. I feel you around me even though I can’t exactly describe what I’m feeling. Sometimes things happen to me and I know that you’re there and I’m humbled by the lack of coincidence that exists in the world. Whatever you want from me, it’s yours — just please help me. You know how I get when I lose control, and I find myself constantly being pulled back there these days.”

Author:John Steinbeck

“Querido Pat: Viniste a verme mientras tallabas una figurilla en madera, y me dijiste: -¿ Por qué no me haces algo?- Te pregunté qué querías y respondiste: -Una caja-. -¿Para qué?- -Para poner cosas en ella-. -¿Que cosas?- -Todo lo que tengas-, dijiste. Bien, aquí tienes la caja que querías. He puesto en ella casi todo lo que yo tenía, y todavía no está llena. Hay en ella dolor y excitación, sentimientos buenos y malos, y malos pensamientos y buenos pensamientos..., el placer del constructor, algo de desesperación y el gozo indescriptible de la creación. Y todavía la caja no está colmada.”
