    “I've always been an ironic dreamer, unfaithful to my inner promises.
    Like a complete outsider, a casual observer of whom I thought I was,
    I've always enjoyed watching my daydreams go down in defeat.
    I was never convinced of what I believed in.
    I filled my hands with sand, called it gold, and opened them up to let it slide through.
    Words were my only truth.
    When the right words were said, all was done; the rest was the sand that had always been.”
    ― Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet


    “The feelings that hurt most, the emotions that sting most, are those that are absurd - The longing for impossible things, precisely because they are impossible; nostalgia for what never was; the desire for what could have been; regret over not being someone else; dissatisfaction with the world’s existence. All these half-tones of the soul’s consciousness create in us a painful landscape, an eternal sunset of what we are.”
    ― Fernando Pessoa

    It is the name given to the act of improvising or create a solution at the last minute.

    In 'good' Portuguese is called 'desenrascanço' and is one of 28 words chosen by Buzzfeed to the list of foreign terms that English should 'adopt'.

    I've been to those gardens several times in my life... this image does not do the gardens justice... they are very wonderful all year long!

    Justice is not what it used to be anymore my friend.

    I did my best and I still think is very beautiful.

    Never been there and that makes me very sad.

    Vancouver Island and much of British Columbia are very beautiful, I wish you could come and see them! Of course your country also has many beautiful places that I will never see...

    It is believed that the Fools Day tradition was born in France in 1564, with the adoption of the Gregorian calendar, which changed the New Year from the end of March to the 1st of January.
