Earth's Children: The Clan of the Cave Bear by Jean M. Auel

Don't dance with the devil on your back

Regrets collect like old friends

Here to relive your darkest moments

I can see no way, I can see no way

And all of the ghouls come out to play

And every demon wants his pound of flesh

                            And I've been a fool and I've been blind

                                        I can never leave the past behind            

                                   I can see no way, I can see no way

                              I'm always dragging that horse around

                      All of his questions, such a mournful sound

          But tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground

And I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't

So here's to drinks in the dark at the end of my road

And I'm ready to suffer and I'm ready to hope

It's a shot in the dark aimed right up my throat

Cause looking for heaven, found the devil in me

                            And I am done with my graceless heart

                 So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart

                               Cause I like to keep my issues drawn

                                   It's always darkest before the dawn

We are Dust and Shadows

Happiness is not a state, but a moment

"Happiness is like a butterfly, which appears and delights us for one brief moment but soon flits away"

                           Anna Pavlova

Stockholm Syndrome

And we'll fly, and we'll fall, and we'll burn.

I am my literary DNA

“Books help to form us. If you cut me open, you will find volume after volume, page after page, the contents of every one I have ever read, somehow transmuted and transformed into me. Alice in Wonderland. the Magic Faraway Tree. The Hound of the Baskervilles. The Book of Job. Bleak House. Wuthering Heights. The Complete Poems of W H Auden. The Tale of Mr Tod. Howard''s End. What a strange person I must be. But if the books I have read have helped to form me, then probably nobody else who ever lived has read exactly the same books, all the same books and only the same books as me. So just as my genes and the soul within me make me uniquely me, so I am the unique sum of the books I have read. I am my literary DNA.”

I've been already in Madrid a couple of years ago, and I fell in love with it. Hope to live there someday.
