Confort Quotes

“Oh, amigo John, es un mundo extraño, un mundo lleno de miserias, y amenazas, y problemas, y sin embargo, cuando la reina risa viene, hace que todos bailemos al son de la tonada que ella toca. Corazones sangrantes, y secos huesos en los cementerios, y lágrimas que queman al caer..., todos bailan juntos la misma música que ella ejecuta con esa boca sin risa que posee. Y créame, amigo John, que ella es buena de venir, y amable. Ah, nosotros hombres y mujeres somos como cuerdas en medio de diferentes fuerzas que nos tiran de diferentes rumbos. Entonces vienen las lágrimas; y como la lluvia sobre las cuerdas nos atirantan, hasta que quizá la tirantez se vuelve demasiado grande y nos rompemos. Pero la reina risa, ella viene como la luz del sol y alivia nuevamente la tensión; y podemos soportar y continuar con nuestra labor, cualquiera que sea.”

“Like the turtle's shell, the sense of self serves as a shield against stimulation and as a burden which limits mobility into possibly dangerous areas. The turtle rarely has to think about what's on the other side of his shell; whatever it is, it can't hurt him, can't even touch him. So, too, adults insist on the shell of a consistent self for themselves and their children and appreciate turtles for friends; they wish to be protected from being hurt or touched or confused or having to think. If a man can rely on consistency, he can afford not to notice people after the first few times. But I imagined a world in which each individual might be about to play the lover, the benefactor, the sponger, the attacker, the friend: and once known as one of the next day he might yet be anything. Would we pay attention to this person? Would life be boring? Would life be livable? I saw then clearly for the first time that the fear of failure keeps us huddled in the cave of self - a group of behavior patterns we have mastered and have no intention of risking failure by abandoning.”
