"For millions of years flowers have been producing thorns. For millions of years sheep have been eating them all the same. And it's not serious, trying to understand why flowers go to such trouble to produce thorns that are good for nothing? It's not important, the war between the sheep and the flowers?... Suppose I happen to know a unique flower, one that exists nowhere in the world except on my planet, one that a little sheep can wipe out in a single bite one morning, just like that, even without realizing what he's doing - that isn't important? If someone loves a flower of which just one example exists among all the millions and millions of stars, that's enough to make him happy when he looks at the stars. He tells himself, 'My flower's up there somewhere...' But if the sheep eats the flower, then for him it's as if, suddenly, all the stars went out. And that isn't important?'"
- Antoine de Saint Exupéry, The Little Prince

Note to self:

You're too selfish to be loved by anyone.

You don't let yourself be loved.

You need to be loved.

Nobody loves you enough.


Hope this nobody finds you soon, for your sake.

Quote

"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so you can learn to let go. Things go wrong so that you can appreciate them when they're right. You believe lies so eventually you learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together."
- Marilyn Monroe

Bugler tonight, don't play the call to arms

Lili Marlen fue una canción de origen alemán (basada en un poema escrito por un soldado) que pronto se extendio y fue cantada por soldados de todas las nacionalidades en la segunda guerra mundial.
Solo viene a demostrar que quizás los alemanes y los aliados tenian más en común de lo que pensaron, que en el fondo todos somos humanos. No existe ni el bien ni el mal, por lo menos no en terminos de 'una persona malvada'.
Y si piensas que matar a un hermano es justificable, no sabría que decir.
Directamente.

Marlene Dietrich tiene grabadas una versión en alemán y otra en inglés, aunque hay grabaciones incontables, para él que le interese.

La guerra nunca tiene justificación.

Lili Marleen

Outside the barracks, by the cornerlight
I'll always stand and wait for you at night.
We will create a world for two,
I'll wait for you, the whole night through.
For you, Lili Marleen.
For you, Lili Marleen.

Bugler tonight, don't play the call to arms
I want to spend another evening with her charms.
Then we will say goodbye and part,
I'll always keep you in my heart.
With me, Lili Marleen.
With me, Lili Marleen.

Give me a rose, to show how much you care,
Tie to the stem a lock of golden hair.
Surely tomorrow you'll feel blue,
But then will come a love that's new.
For you, Lili Marleen.
For you, Lili Marleen.

When we are marching, in the mud and cold,
And when my pack seems more than I can hold
My love for you renews my might;
I'm warm again, my pack is light.
It's you, Lili Marleen.
It's you, Lili Marleen.
