Quote by David Silvestre

“Metaphor: «Dicen que cuando encanecen los afanes con la senectud, es allá donde emerge la prontitud, la del desafuero repentino, donde todo yace en un ayer tan distante e incomprendido» Meaning: Sugiere que cuando las preocupaciones de la vida se vuelven menos urgentes con la edad avanzada, puede surgir una sensación de urgencia y desenfreno repentino. Todo lo que sucedió en el pasado puede parecer distante e incomprensible.”

That’s just foolishness. But this is what I want to know: Are you brave enough . . . to flip a good crepe?” It startles me that the words brave and crepe are in the same sentence.”
