Fate must be laughing at us

When we are attached to wealth, love, desires, fate must be at it lol. The last second was still a prisoner, this second is the survivor. Yesterday was the rich man in the city, today there are only empty mansions. Today, I am the master of this city, and tomorrow, I will die like a dog. Where can there be so much karma in this world, they are just victims of the turbulent times.
The so-called artist is just groping for a little bit of historical truth in the dark, so that we can remember that what we are experiencing now is exactly what we have experienced before, and maybe we will experience it in the future.
Where did the victory come from, but persisted to the end.

Goya's Ghosts quotes

  • Inés: [model pointing at defaced portrait] Why doesn't that painting have a face?

    Goya: Because he is a ghost.

    Inés: No, he is not.

    Goya: Have you ever seen a ghost?

    Inés: No. But I have seen a witch.

    Goya: Oh, did you?

    Inés: Yes, but she had a face.

    Goya: So what did she look like?

    Inés: She was... all bent and creepy, and she...

    [whispers:]

    Inés: stank.

    [makes disparaging sound]

    Goya: That's interesting, because the witch that I know, she's... she's young, very lovely, and she smells of jasmine.

    Inés: [smiles] She does?

    Goya: She does. And I'm working on her portrait... right now.

    Inés: [smiles as it dawns on her what he means] I'm no witch!

    Goya: [chuckles] How do you know?

  • Tomás Bilbatúa: [worried father, to his young daughter] You have received a summons from the Holy Office.

    [she sits down]

    Tomás Bilbatúa: Do you have any idea what it might be about?

    Inés: No...

    Tomás Bilbatúa: Where did you go with your brothers last night?

    Inés: The tavern.

    [shakes her head]

    Tomás Bilbatúa: Think. Did you say something sacrilegious?

    Inés: [shakes her head] No.

    Tomás Bilbatúa: [to his two sons] Was there an incident or something they could hold against her?

    Álvaro Bilbatúa: She kissed the feet of a dwarf.

    [Inés sticks her tongue out at him]

    Tomás Bilbatúa: [to his daughter] You did?

    Álvaro Bilbatúa: She did.

    [his mother scoffs]

    Inés: Everyone did.

    Ángel Bilbatúa: You know... they can summon her just to... testify against someone else.

    María Isabel Bilbatúa: [hoarsely] Someone else?

    Inés: Is there someone you know they might be interested in?

    Inés: I don't know.

    [shakes her head]

    Inés: No.
