“Alas! Alas if your unshakable view of the world relies on your circumstantial receiving of charity!”
“Alas! Alas! Life is full of disappointments; as one reaches one ridge there is always another and a higher one beyond which blocks the view.”
“But alas, the world is not a wish-granting factory.”
“–¿Por qué? ¿Y por qué no tenemos plumaje ni alas, sino solamente omoplatos, las bases para las alas? Porque ya no necesitamos alas: porque tenemos aviones y las alas solamente nos estorbarían.”
“Alas! Earwax!”
“Alas, Experience!”
