“Some days are just bad days, that’s all. You have to experience sadness to know happiness, and I remind myself that not every day is going to be a good day, that’s just the way it is.”

“I was at a university giving a talk with a great friend, an Argentinian film director, Fernando Birri. And the students would make questions, sometimes to me sometimes to him, and he got the most difficult one. A student stood up and asked him, ‘What purpose does the utopia have?’ And I looked at him with pity, what a mess we have now. And he answered stupendously, in the best way possible. He said, ‘the utopia is in the horizon and I know very well that I’ll never reach it. That if I take ten steps forward it will walk ten steps away from me. The more I look for it, the less I’ll find it, because it’ll get farther away from me the closer I get.’ Great question, no? What’s its purpose? That’s the utopia’s purpose. To walk.”

Sunday. I stayed in bed until 12:30, was tolerable, and I spent the afternoon pleasantly, walking, lying in the grass, drinking milk, and reading.
