Country of the Bad Wolfes

Therefore, since the world has still

Much good, but much less good than ill,

And while the sun and moon endure

Luck’s a chance, but trouble’s sure,

I’d face it as a wise man would,

And train for ill and not for good.

—A. E. Housman, A Shropshire Lad

We may be through with the past, but the past ain’t through with us.

—PAUL THOMAS ANDERSON , Magnolia

What country more dear or defiant than that of our own blood?

No hay reglas fijas.
