"You should go Africa maybe, where love never dies; it's like a fairy-tale. You know how the story goes: by chance, two people meet and fall in love, they get married, have children and live happily ever after, or, at any rate, until death finally casts them asunder. This is a cliché most of us believe in from puberty onwards; it doesn't take account of reality. Young girls read about the cliché in romantic novels. Parents make hopeful plans with a view to their children having fairy-tale lives. But real life isn't a cliché, and that's why it almost never works out the way you imagine. But don't look back in anger or you'll only end up thinking love is God's idea of a joke".

I know what the speed of light is, but we haven't learned about the speed of darkness yet.

Esta frase es TRE MEN DA! Y es más tremenda si viene de un niño de doce años...casi tan tremenda que la foto que es genial...
¿Cuantas cosas interesantes te están pasando no? ^.^
Envidia (de la buena, de la sana...) desde aquí.
Abrazos españoles de los Espai Girls y Boys...
Ya ves, la frase me encantó... y sobre todo viniendo de un criajo de 12 años... supongo que una guerra te da nuevas cosas sobre las que pensar!
El libro Sarajevo Marlboro es una pasada... me fue muy complicado elegir qué escribir...
La foto es genial, de Sebilj, la fuente de la plaza mayor en Baščaršija, el casco antiguo de la ciudad. La hizo Dino, un amigo mío de aquí
Sarajevo es realmente especial, estás invitao a visitarlo cuando quieras!
Abrazos bosnios para los Espai Girls and Boys!
