surplus value."
"Silence is a word in my vocabulary."
«The greatest work proposed to the human being is to forge a
destiny»
"I believe that the writer should start writing when,
firstly, he has something to say and, secondly, when he knows how to say
it."
"Art, literature, cannot be pigeonholed."
"We must look for the beginning of everything."
«Man does not know for whom he suffers and for whom he hopes»
In
the Kingdom of Heaven, there is no grandeur to be won, inasmuch as there all is
an established hierarchy, the unknown is revealed, existence is infinite, there
is no possibility of sacrifice, and all is rest and joy. For this reason, bowed
down by suffering and duties, beautiful in the midst of his misery, capable of
loving in the face of afflictions and trials, man finds his greatness, his
fullest measure, only in The Kingdom of This World.
The truth was much more beautiful.
With affection,
Ruben
