"Κανένας άνθρωπος ποτέ βήματα στο ίδιο ποτάμι δύο φορές, 
γιατί δεν είναι το ίδιο ποτάμι και αυτός δεν είναι ο ίδιος άνθρωπος"

"No man ever steps in the same river twice,
because it's not the same river and he's not the same man"

"Ningún hombre puede pasar dos veces el mismo río,
porque no será el mismo río ni él será el mismo hombre"

(Heraclitus of Ephesus, ancient Greek philosopher, V century BC)

Skater & Beloved.

"What would I do without your smart mouth,

drawing me in, and you kicking me out?

You've got my head spinning, no kidding, I can't pin you down.

What's going on in that beautiful mind?,

I'm on your magical mystery ride.

And I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit me, but I'll be alright.

My head's under water, but I'm breathing fine!

You're crazy and I'm out of my mind.

'Cause all of me loves all of you,

love your curves and all your edges,

all your perfect imperfections.

Give your all to me,

I'll give my all to you,

you're my end and my beginning,

even when I lose I'm winning.

'Cause I give you all of me,

and you give me all of you (...)"

(John Legend, American musician, 2013)

"Estoy muy sobresaltado,

porque ya se acerca el día

que, del brazo de mi novio,

entraré en la vicaría.

Ya me han encargado el traje,

que es de encaje y seda fina,

y mamá, para ir de viaje,

me ha comprado vaselina. (...)

Pero soy tan inocente

que no acierto a comprender

para qué es la vaselina

ni en qué sitio la pondré."

(Ancient Spanish cuplé, 1933)
