Rayuela by Julio Cortázar. Quotes

-Andábamos sin buscarnos, pero sabiendo que andábamos para encontrarnos. 

-Ya para entonces me había dado cuenta de que buscar era mi signo. 

-Era siempre yo y mi vida, yo con mi vida frente a la vida de los otros. 

-No había querido fingir como los bohemios al uso que ese caos de bolsillo era un orden superior del espíritu o cualquier otra etiqueta igualmente podrida.

-Como siempre me costaba mucho menos pensar que ser. 

-Porque aunque hiciéramos tantas veces el amor la felicidad tenía que ser otra cosa, algo quizá más triste que esta paz y este placer, un aire como de unicornio o isla, una caída interminable en la inmovilidad. 

-Todo me decía que apenas recobrara la independencia, dejaría de sentirme libre. 

-La ansiedad por liberarme era una admisión de derrota. 

10 Memorable Quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson

 Money often costs too much

The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

He who is not everyday conquering some fear has not learned the secret of life.

People do not seem to realize that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.

Always do what you are afraid to do.

Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen.

A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is brave five minutes longer.

To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.

We gain the strength of the temptation we resist.
