“From time to time, some extraordinary stimulus might bring us back to the physical world — for example, on that dawn, the ancient elemental pleasure of the rain. But those lapses were extremely rare; all Immortals were capable of perfect quietude. I recall one whom I never saw standing — a bird had made its nest on his breast.”
Jorge Luis Borges. The Immortal.
“The things I carry are my thoughts. That's it. They are the only weight. My thoughts determine whether I am free and light or burdened.”
