Naive Quotes - Page 8

• La gente era tan ingenua con las plantas, pensó Ellie. Se limitaban a elegirlas por su aspecto, como si fueran un cuadro para la pared.

• Was there a reason behind it? There would be no point in asking Zaphod, he never appeared to have a reason for anything he did at all: he had turned unfathomability into an art form.

• Indeed, the only truly serious questions are ones that even a child can formulate. Only the most naive of questions are truly serious. They are the questions with no answers.

• Hace mucho tiempo, unos veinte años. Toda mi vida había estado buscando algo, y en todas partes alguien intentaba decirme qué era. Yo también aceptaba sus respuestas, aunque a menudo estuvieran en contradicción e incluso fueran autocontradictorias. Era una ingenua. Me buscaba a mí mismo y hacía preguntas a todo el mundo menos a mí, que yo, y sólo yo, podía responder. Me llevó mucho tiempo y un doloroso cambio de expectativas darme cuenta de algo con lo que todo el mundo parece haber nacido: Que no soy nadie más que yo mismo. Pero primero tuve que descubrir que soy un hombre invisible.
