Is there any difference between our desires becoming reality, and our desiring what is already real? What matters is that our will and reality agree with one another.

— Adolfo Bioy Casares

¿No es lo mismo que suceda lo que deseamos, que desear lo que suceda? Lo que importa es que nuestra voluntad y los sucesos estén de acuerdo.
