Yo era tan pronto muy nervioso, o muy aplastado; muy excitado, o inerte, somnoliento. Yo también cargaba mis baterías y las descargaba de golpe; pero muy a menudo a propósito de una insignificancia y con gran extrañeza de todos. Y de pronto aparecía distendido, distraído, abandonado a la luna cuando el tema era de verdadero interés. Tan pronto angustiosamente tímido como sorpresivamente violento, o audazmente atrevido. Pero constantemente torpe.

~ Bob Marely
You say you love rain, but you use an umbrella to walk under it. You say you love the sun, but you seek shelter when it is shining. You say you love wind, but when it comes you close your window. So that's why I'm scared when you say you love me.
