Belmonte ~ Thursday, 16 August 2018

"My firmest conviction, my superstition if you like, is that it's no use trying to keep out of trouble. It is better to offer yourself boldly for destiny to do its worst. If I can think about a misfortune until it becomes a familiar companion, and if I have enough courage to live it in all its intensity in my imagination, I have beaten it before it happens." (p. 227) 
~ Juan Belmonte.
