Fortunate Quotes - Page 18

• Desde hace unos 50 años tengo la suerte de disponer de dos bancos de memoria: cuando no recuerdo algo, se lo pregunto a mi mujer, y así puedo recurrir a este banco de memoria auxiliar. Además, hay una segunda forma de obtener ideas... Escucho atentamente lo que dice mi mujer, y así a menudo se me ocurre una buena idea. Recomiendo a ... los jóvenes ... que se hagan permanentemente con un banco de memoria auxiliar con el que puedan familiarizarse y al que puedan recurrir a lo largo de su vida.

• Es importante entrar en el trabajo que te gustaría hacer. Entonces no parece trabajo. A veces sientes que es demasiado bueno para ser verdad que alguien te pague por disfrutar.

• Gardening is a luxury occupation: an ornament, not a necessity, of life.... Fortunate gardener, who may preoccupy himself solely with beauty in these difficult and ugly days! He is one of the few people left in this distressful world to carry on the tradition of elegance and charm. A useless member of society, considered in terms of economics, he must not be denied his rightful place. He deserves to share it, however humbly, with the painter and poet.

• Fortunate are the nations that can build wooden houses. Because wood breathes, transforms, deteriorates, like us. It is also important to have flowers and plants where we live, because they breathe, too. Contemplating a flower for three seconds can be a captivating solitary journey back to original geometry, which is always revitalizing.

• Una de las cosas más bonitas de las hijas es cómo te adoraban cuando eran pequeñas; cómo se abalanzaban a tus brazos con una alegría eléctrica y te exigían que vieras todo lo que hacían y escucharas todo lo que decían. Esos recuerdos te ayudarán en los momentos menos alegres, cuando su adoración se vea sustituida por la vergüenza o el enfado y no quieran que veas lo que hacen o escuches lo que dicen. Y aun así, adorarás a tu hija todos los días de su vida, con la esperanza de que te vuelvan a valorar, pero dándote cuenta de lo afortunada que fuiste aunque sólo consigas lo que ya conseguiste.
