Fortunately, somewhere ...

Fortunately, somewhere between chance and mystery lies imagination, the only thing that protects our freedom, despite the fact that people keep trying to reduce it or kill it off altogether.

Quotes from the same author

Age is something that doesn't matter unless you're a cheese
 Luis Bunuel
Tobacco and alcohol, delicious fathers of abiding friendships and fertile reveries.
 Luis Bunuel
I say to hell with the work you have to do to earn a living! That kind of work does us no honor; all it does is fill up the bellies of the pigs who exploit us. But the work you do because you like to do it, because you've heard the call, you've got a vocation - that's ennobling! We should all be able to work like that. Look at me, Saturno - I don't work. And I don't care if they hang me, I won't work! Yet I'm alive! I may live badly, but at least I don't have to work to do it!
 Luis Bunuel
If we could only find the courage to leave our destiny to chance, to accept the fundamental mystery of our lives, then we might be closer to the sort of happiness that comes with innocence.
 Luis Bunuel

 Luis Bunuel
