Fernando Olivera: El rapto.- TEXT FROM THE NOVEL The goldfinch by Donna Tartt (...) One night we were in San Antonio, and I was having a bit of a melt-down, wanting my own room, you know, my dog, my own bed, and Daddy lifted me up on the fairgrounds and told me to look at the moon. When "you feel homesick", he said, just look up. Because the moon is the same wherever you go". So after he died, and I had to go to Aunt Bess -I mean, even now, in the city, when I see a full moon, it's like he's telling me not to look back or feel sad about things, that home is wherever I am. She kissed me on the nose. Or where you are, puppy. The center of my earth is you". The goldfinch Donna Tartt 4441 English edition

Rome wasn't built in a day


Picture source: teevault.com
Possible interpretation: All things take time to create. And great things like the city of Rome take a very long time. So we shouldn't expect to accomplish something or achieve success immediately.
Note: Rome (proper noun) = the capital city of Italy, founded according to tradition by Romulus in 753 BC | built = constructed; made

Quick Quiz:
Angela told her son that "Rome wasn't built in a day" when he
  1. said that the flight to Rome was going to be late
  2. complained that his new website was taking a long time to create
  3. asked how long it took the Romans to build Rome
