So far, so close


«To any casual observer, they seemed to be two strangers with no other connection, except the fact, that the laws of physics determined that they shared the same space and time and accidentally crossed each other’s path. They were sitting side by side, but apart from sharing the same table, nothing else revealed the real bond between those two souls.» 
                                                    By Raquel R. in Short Story number 9

«She’s sitting right in front of me, but at the same time she’s a million miles away.»
                                                                                                    Haruki Murakami

Life is simple


«1.Deliberately neglect time and its effects. The alarm clock is no longer the villain of the day as it was coercively downgraded to a merely figurative role.» 

                                                                                                     
                                               By  Raquel R. in My Perfect Summer Day
                                                                                                                                                
« Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.»

«The Arrow of Time»


«He recognized that he was a receptacle for the flow of experiences and feelings collected along his way through life and that all of them converged together to shape the person he was now.» 
                                                    By Raquel R. in Short Story number 6

«I believe that we are solely responsible for our choices, and we have to accept the consequences of every deed, word, and thought throughout our lifetime.»
                                                                       Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

Distant memories


«The first contact of his hands with its worn out cover instantly brought back distant memories of significant parts of his life.»
                                                    By Raquel R. in Short Story number 6

“Life is but a day:
A fragile dewdrop on its perilious way
From a tree's summit” 
                                                                                                                       

                                                                                                              John Keats

«The time that is given us»


«He got up from the sofa and moved toward the bookshelf with the curious eyes and the leisurely attitude of someone, who was unexpectedly confronted with an undesirable surplus of time, and did not know what to do with it.»
                                                               By Raquel R. in Short Story number 6 

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
 

                                                                                             J.R.R. Tolkien

«Time is an illusion»


«He might as well surrender to the evidences, and accept the fact, that the concept of time has different meanings to men and women.»

                                                              By Raquel R. in Short Story number 6 


          «Time is an illusion.»              
                                                                                                      Albert Einstein
