Citas de Sally Carrighar

• I held a blue flower in my hand, probably a wild aster, wondering what its name was, and then thought that human names for natural things are superfluous. Nature herself does not name them. The important thing is to know this flower, look at its color until the blends becomes as real as a keynote of music. Look at the exquisite yellow flowerettes at the center, become very small with them. Be the flower, be the trees, the blowing grasses. Fly with the birds, jump with a squirrel!

• los nombres humanos para las cosas naturales son superfluos. La propia naturaleza no les pone nombre. Lo importante es conocer esta flor, mirar su color hasta que el azul se vuelva tan real como una nota musical.

• Había demasiados lemmings: ése era el núcleo de su dificultad. Ninguno quería la soledad, pero una multitud de ese tamaño era un tormento. Siendo pequeñas bestias sensibles, se sobreestimulaban por el número superfluo de los de su propia especie. Habían intentado escapar, pero con lamentable ironía, todos intentaron escapar juntos.
