"The colossal misunderstanding of our time is the assumption that insight will work with people who are unmotivated to change. Communication does not depend on syntax, or eloquence, or rhetoric, or articulation but on the emotional context in which the message is being heard. People can only hear you when they are moving toward you, and they are not likely to when your words are pursuing them. Even the choices words lose their power when they are used to overpower. Attitudes are the real figures of speech."

Stan: Those are gas masks

Eric: If You don’t use gas masks, you’re going to get smoke or anthrax.
Butters: What? ..oh jesus!.. where do I get those gas masks? What should I do?
Eric: There’s nothing you can do, except stop breathing.
Butters: Stop breathing?
Stan: Yeah, it can’t get in if you don’t breath.
Butters: Oh, alright stan. (He stops breathing)

Silence is all we have to give
And the memories of a life I wish we'd lived


I remember me
I remember YOU walking away ,

El NO de Cobos.



"Ante el cuadro de tensión que estamos viviendo y las declaraciones públicas del ex presidente Néstor Kirchner y otros funcionarios del gobierno -asegurando que la democracia peligra si no se ratifica la Resolución 125-, recordé las dramáticas palabras que pronunció el rey Ricardo III de Inglaterra cuando cayó del caballo en medio de una batalla decisiva. Shakespeare le hace gritar: “… Un caballo, un caballo, mi reino por un caballo…” ¿Recuerdan?

En estos largos meses en que el gobierno se ha empecinado en defender la Resolución Ministerial Nro. 125 a capa y espada, como si fuera algo de vida o muerte, me he preguntado si realmente cree que su futuro está atado a las retenciones y a la Resolución 125. ¿No será demasiado plantear las cosas así, en blanco y negro, sin matices?.."

María Eugenia Estenssoro.
Senadora Nacional (Coalición Cívica)


We are told to remember the idea, not the man,
because a man can fail.
He can be caught, he can be killed and forgotten.


But 400 years later, an idea can still change the world.
I've witnessed first hand the power of ideas,
I've seen people kill in the name of them, and die defending them
...
but you cannot kiss an idea, cannot touch it, or hold it...
ideas do not bleed, they do not feel pain,
THEY DO NOT LOVE.

IMPOSSIBLE is just a BIG word thrown around by small men who find easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it.
IMPOSSIBLE is not a FACT. It's an OPINION. IMPOSSIBLE is not a DECLARATION. It's a DARE. IMPOSSIBLE is POTENTIAL. IMPOSSIBLE is TEMPORARY.
IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING.
