Nothingness, but shining.

MY PHILOSOPHY IN 10 QUOTES

1. The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak.

2. To be elegant is to be activity, dynamism and frenzy, and to seem containment, dominance and renunciation.

3. To unravel a torment you must begin somewhere.

4. Mind creates, vibration attracts, discipline materializes.

5. Happiness is a matter of digestion.

6. Every moment of "lack of meaning" is exactly the alarming certainty that there is meaning there, and that not only do I not perceive, but I do not want because I have no guarantees.

7. Forgetfulness is the only revenge and the only forgiveness.

8. Theseus says to Ariande, ‘I will love you forever if you can show me a way to come out of the labyrinth.’

9. Follow your bliss and you will find doors where there were only walls.

10. Myths are public dreams. Dreams are private myths.
