anon, are you drunk at this moment?
I will have a Sangria - on you - but do you really think that because you buy me a drink, I have to share my drink with you?

“One of the pitfalls of childhood is that one doesn't have to understand something to feel it. By the time the mind is able to comprehend what has happened, the wounds of the heart are already too deep.”
“But in good time you'll see that sometimes what matters isn't what one gives but what one gives up.”
A room without books ..is like a body without a soul.”
“I couldn't help thinking that if I, by pure chance, had found a whole universe in a single unknown book, buried in that endless necropolis, tens of thousands more would remain unexplored, forgotten forever. I felt myself surrounded by millions of abandoned pages, by worlds and souls without an owner sinking in an ocean of darkness, while the world that throbbed outside the library seemed to be losing its memory, day after day, unknowingly, feeling all the wiser the more it forgot.”

Why, anon, were you drunk 'at this moment' and what was it that you were drinking?
But perhaps I misunderstand you here. Maybe it was within the sound of a Chopin or a Debussy that you found your inebriation.
Who is this Kahlil?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Only kidding, of course...this guy...On Children
by Kahlil Gibran
Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts.
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies,
so He loves also the bow that is stable.
So beautiful...and can you just imagine the world today if we lived that wisdom? Perhaps each generation would contribute to a world that is not now...but is getting there...
~ Carlos Ruiz Zafon
