Quote by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

“We rest; a dream has power to poison sleep. We rise; one wand'ring thought pollutes the day. We feel, concieve, or reason; laugh or weep, Embrace fond woe, or cast our cares away; It is the same: for, be it joy or sorrow, The path of its departure still is free. Man's yesterday may ne'er be like his morrow; Nought may endure but mutability!”

Quote by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

Ahora bien, nunca se sabe si el cambio será a mejor o a peor, o si tan solo consiste en mirar la realidad desde otra perspectiva, para, en el fondo, no cambiar nada.”
