Es la cobardía innata del novelista, que delega en personajes imaginarios los pecados que él tiene la prudencia de no cometer.

El "acomodador": siempre hay un acontecimiento en nuestras vidas que es el responsable del hecho de que hayamos dejado de progresar. Un trauma, una derrota especialmente amarga, una desilusión amorosa, incluso una victoria que no entendemos muy bien, acaba haciendo que nos acobardemos y que no sigamos adelante. El hechicero, en el proceso de crecimiento de sus poderes ocultos, primero tiene que librarse de ese "punto acomodador", y para eso tiene que recordar su vida y descubrir dónde está.

(Paulo Coelho - El Zahir)

I said hey Michael Jackson and the politicians you wanna get out an see what you can, I said hey Mr president and senators too, I said Mr. Prime Minister it's good for you, I said all the Queen's women and all the Queen's men, better get it together 'cos it's real broken. I said a what you need is a leasson in reality because the way it stands you're a big liability. Get down and meet people on streets. You know and I know we're brothers in time. You know that truth is the right of mankind.

I said hey all you music stars and DJ's too, you'd better get real quick or it's up for you. And you quiz show hosts who think you're so funny, you talk to people like they're stupid and a waste of your time. And all you movie stars who think you're so cool, maybe your time is up and it's time for the truth, there's a lot of lessons needed in humility because the way it stands you're a real liability. Get down and meet people on streets. You know and I know we're brothers on time. You know that justice is for all mankind.

I said hey Madonna and Reoseanne Barr, well you think that you're big (you're too big by far), if you think that you're important in the scheme of things you'd better get a real quick because reality stinks. I said hey Ayatollah you're a real big cheese, however much you talk it's just words in the breeze, if you're one of the people can't you prove it's true get out on the street and let reality come to you. Get out and meet people on streets. You know and I know we're brothers in time. You know that justice is for all mankind.

(Roger Taylor - People On Streets)

From the 'Stairway to Heaven' to 'The Laughing Gnomes' it's a mighty long way down rock and roll. We got no more fun.
Age before beauty, pearls before swine and whatever happened to the wild, wild times? From the Memphis God to the Liverpool boys, then the guitar kings made a lot of noise. We got no more fun.
Then they were dressing like hookers, they were dressed like queens. It had nothing to do with New Orleans. We got no more fun.
It don't seem like fun and it ain't necessary, never wanted to be no shorthand secretary. Now they're punching their keyboards, kiss their machines, it ain't got much soul and it's squeaky clean. We got no more fun.

(Roger Taylor - No More Fun)

I'm gonna go where the sun's in the sky and I'm gonna go where the moon is high and I'm gonna go where the rivers run free, I'm gonna go where I can be me. I'm gonna go where the grass is green and I'm gonna go where the water's clean and I'm gonna go where the sky is clear, I'm gonna go away from here. I'm gonna think about better things.
I'm gonna build a fire by the sea and I'm gonna be alone with me. I'm gonna feel the wind on my face and I'm gonna go away from this place.

(The Cross - Better Things)

I've been to the Ukraine, they don't have much to eat, no sugar on the table but people stay sweet. I've been to the third world, they've got nothing but hope through the starving and dying, sometimes, somehow they cope. It was a revelation to me.
I've been to the U.S, promised land of the free with the workless and homeless begging on every street. It was a revelation to me.
And right here in Europe far as can been seen butter mountains and wine lakes, that much food it's obscene.
Now you can label me stupid or naive with this song but when children are starving I know what's right and what's wrong.
It was a revelation to me.

(Roger Taylor - Revelations)

These Are The Days Of Our Lives

Sometimes I get to feelin'
I was back in the old days, long ago
when we were kids, when we were young
things seemed so perfect, you know
the days were endless we were crazy, we were young
the sun was always shining, we jus lived for fun
sometimes it seemed like lately, I don't know
the rest of my life's been just a show

Those were the days of our lives
the bad things in life were so few
those days are al gone now, but one thing is true
when I look, and I find, I still love you

You can't turn back the clock, you can´t back the time,
ain't that a shame?
I'd like to go back one time on a roller coaster ride
when life was just a game
no use sitting an thinkin' on what you did
when you can lay back an enjoy through your kids
sometimes it seemed like lately, I just don't know,
better sit back and go with the flow...

'Cos these are the days of our lives
they've flown with the swiftness of time
these days are all gone now, but some things remain
when I look and I find no change

Those were the days of our lives
the bad things in life were so few
those days are all gone now, but one thing's still true
when I look and I find, I still love you
I still love you.

Queen (Roger Taylor)
