Quote by Alberto Mulas

“Como con la Bolsa, la de los mercados. Si la economía funciona, entonces lo llamamos inversión, si la economía va a peor, se llama especulación. Pero la recompensa está ahí, para quien haya sabido verla. Para eso está el dinero, si no ya habrían cerrado las Bolsas, ese lugar metafórico –no ficticio– en el que se compra y se vende sin tener que esperar a que se construya el edificio. El precio del dinero, los intereses, las subidas, las caídas, los suicidios. Es como el juego, una clase de ludopatía, sólo que legal y muy bien vista, que te vuelve inteligente y sofisticado. Azar, sí, pero al final siempre gana la Banca.”

“How should we be able to forget those ancient myths that are at the beginning of all peoples, the myths about dragons that at the last moment turn into princesses; perhaps all the dragons of our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us once beautiful and brave. Perhaps everything terrible is in its deepest being something helpless that wants help from us. So you must not be frightened if a sadness rises up before you larger than any you have ever seen; if a restiveness, like light and cloudshadows, passes over your hands and over all you do. You must think that something is happening with you, that life has not forgotten you, that it holds you in its hand; it will not let you fall. Why do you want to shut out of your life any uneasiness, any miseries, or any depressions? For after all, you do not know what work these conditions are doing inside you.”

“You could lose the ones you loved in the blink of an eye—and he was willing to bet, when it happened, you weren’t thinking about all the reasons that could have kept you apart. You thought of all the reasons that kept you together. And, no doubt, how you wished you’d had more time. Even if you’d had centuries… When you were young, you thought time was a burden, something to be discharged as fast as possible so you could be grown-up. But it was such a bait-n-switch—when you were an adult, you came to realize that minutes and hours were the single most precious thing you had. No one got forever. And it was a fucking crime to waste what you were given.”
