15 January The Road Not Taken
Robert Frost (1874-1963)
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I–
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

“El camino no elegido”
Robert Frost (1874-1963)
Dos caminos se bifurcaban en un bosque amarillo,
Y apenado por no poder tomar los dos
Siendo un viajero solo, largo tiempo estuve de pie
Mirando uno de ellos tan lejos como pude,
Hasta donde se perdía en la espesura;
Entonces tomé el otro, imparcialmente,
Y habiendo tenido quizás la elección acertada,
Pues era tupido y requería uso;
Aunque en cuanto a lo que vi allí
Hubiera elegido cualquiera de los dos.
Y ambos esa mañana yacían igualmente,
¡Oh, había guardado aquel primero para otro día!
Aun sabiendo el modo en que las cosas siguen adelante,
Dudé si debía haber regresado sobre mis pasos.
Debo estar diciendo esto con un suspiro
De aquí a la eternidad:
Dos caminos se bifurcaban en un bosque y yo,
Yo tomé el menos transitado,
Y eso hizo toda la diferencia.

9 March Fishing With Mr. Lynch
If you want to catch little fish, you can stay in the shallow water. But if you want to catch the big fish, you have got to go deeper.
23 February Fight Club Rules
The first rule about fight club is you don’t talk about fight club.
The second rule about fight club is you don’t talk about fight club.
That’s the third rule in fight club, when someone says stop, or goes limp, even if he’s just faking it, the fight is over.
Only two guys to a fight.
One fight at a time.
They fight without shirts or shoes.
The fights go on as long as they have to.
If this is your first night at fight club, you have to fight.
Fight Club Chuck Palahniuk
Esas son las reglas. Y nadie habla del club porque sólo existe en el periodo de tiempo que va desde el principio de la lucha hasta el final.
Nada es estático.
Tal vez la mejora personal no sea la respuesta.
Tal vez la respuesta sea la autodestrucción.
…
Piensa en ello.
20 February The Thin Man

On becoming a private eye, he became a writer. How did he feel about it when he found out?
Mientras se convertía en detective privado, se convirtió en escritor. ¿Cómo se sentiría cuando lo descubrió?
2 February True To Yourself
Doing is demonstrating that you know it.
Teaching is reminding others that they know it just as well as you.
We are all learners, doers, teachers.
Your only obligation in any lifetime is to be true to yourself.

19 January Last Words
Sí, para todos los que formamos parte del “Escuadrón Shakespeare”, escribir es sencillamente esto: no es una evasión de la realidad, sino un intento de cambiar la realidad, para que el escritor puede escapar de los límites de la realidad.
W. S. Burroughs
