Pessimist Quotes - Page 9

• La mayoría de los sueños mueren lentamente. Se conciben en un momento de pasión, con la perspectiva de un sinfín de posibilidades, pero a menudo languidecen y no se persiguen con la misma intensidad sincera que cuando nacieron. Lenta y sutilmente, un sueño se vuelve esquivo y efímero. Las personas que han perdido sus propios sueños se vuelven pesimistas y cínicas. Sienten que el tiempo y la devoción invertidos en perseguir sus sueños fueron en vano. Las cicatrices emocionales duran para siempre.

• Unless, of course, there's no such thing as chance;...in which case, we should either-optimistically-get up and cheer, because if everything is planned in advance, then we all have a meaning and are spared the terror of knowing ourselves to be random, without a why; or else, of course, we might-as pessimists-give up right here and now, understanding the futility of thought decision action, since nothing we think makes any difference anyway, things will be as they will. Where, then, is optimism? In fate or in chaos?
