A very small degree of hope is sufficient to cause the birth of love.

-- Stendhal

[kingdomofdiscord]

Your whole life, like a sandglass, will always be reversed and will ever run out again. A long minute of time will elapse until all those conditions out of which you were evolved return in the wheel of the cosmic process. And then you will find every pain and every pleasure, every friend and every enemy, every hope and every error, every blade of grass and every ray of sunshine once more, and the whole fabric of things which make up your life.

This ring in which you are but a grain will glitter afresh forever. And in every one of these cycles of human life there will be one hour where, for the first time one man, and then many, will perceive the mighty thought of the eternal recurrence of all things.

And for mankind this is always the hour of Noon.

--  Nietzsche

Pensé en un mundo sin memoria, sin tiempo; consideré la posibilidad de un lenguaje que ignorara los sustantivos, un lenguaje de verbos impersonales o de indeclinables epítetos. Así fueron muriendo los días y con los días los años, pero algo parecido a la felicidad ocurrió una mañana. Llovió, con lentitud poderosa

I thought of a world without memory, without time; I considered the possibility of a language that ignored nouns, a language of impersonal verbs and indeclinable epithets. Thus the days died and with the days the years, but something similar to happiness happened one morning. It rained, with powerful slowness. 

- Jorge Luis Borges
