The loss of a thing affects us until we have lost it altogether.
La pérdida de una cosa nos afecta hasta no perderla toda.

More quotes by Antonio Porchia
Sometimes I believe that evil is everything, and that good is only a beautiful desire for evil.
Among the superficial, if you are not one of them, one of them has to lead you by the hand.
Cuando no creo en nada, no quisiera encontrarme contigo, cuando no crees en nada.
Hasta las flores, para emanar sus perfumes, han menester morirse un poco.
