“Why can’t we get all the people together in the world that we really like and then just stay together? I guess that wouldn’t work. Someone would leave. Someone always leaves. Then we would have to say good-bye. I hate good-byes. I know what I need. I need more hellos. — Charles M. Schulz”

“Compared with the participants who reported working 40 or fewer hours a week, those who worked more than 55 hours a week had lower scores on the vocabulary tests at the start and the follow-up assessments. They also showed a larger decline in fluid intelligence from the first set of tests to the second. These connections persisted even after the investigators accounted for education, occupation, disease, stress, sleep, and other factors that might influence cognitive decline. The results were published in the American Journal of Epidemiology.”

“The tests evaluated verbal memory and skills, fluid intelligence (associated with short-term memory, abstract thinking, creativity, and problem solving), and crystallized intelligence (learning accumulated over the life span in education, work, and cultural experiences). Fluid intelligence is often affected by aging, disease, or injury, while crystallized intelligence tends to increase through the 60s and 70s, and may not begin to decline until the 80s.”

“Go back to basics. The best way for photographers to improve their photography is to stop spending money on the latest camera gear and, instead, get solid training in the basics of art: Take a community college class in drawing, and then another one in colour theory, and finally one in basic design. Your pictures will become immeasurably better as a result.”

“As with so many other things, the quickest way to masterdom is practice, practice, practice. Oh and did I mention practice? “I pulled out a stack of one hundred of my own photographs, rejects one and all, and sat down to hand colour them all as quickly as possible”, Bob smiles, “The only rule was not to be self-critical of anything, no matter what. I coloured that first hundred, and then coloured a hundred more.””

“Camus nos dejó una infalible regla del pulgar para identificarlas. Vargas Llosa la invoca explícitamente en uno de los ensayos que decuella entre los más brillantes de todos los que integran Sables y Utopías, cuando afirma que “la única moral capaz de hacer el mundo vivible es aquella que esté dispuesta a sacrificar las ideas todas las veces que ellas entren en colisión con la vida, aunque sea la de una sola persona humana, porque esta será siempre infinitamente más valiosa que las ideas, en cuyo nombre, ya lo sabemos, se pueden justificar siempre los crímenes –lo hizo el marqués de Sade, en impecables teorías– como crímenes del amor”.”
