Michael Cunningham Citas

• Recuerdo que una mañana, al levantarme al amanecer, tenía una sensación de posibilidad. Ya sabes, esa sensación. Y recuerdo que pensé: Este es el comienzo de la felicidad. Aquí es donde empieza. Y, por supuesto, siempre habrá más. Nunca se me ocurrió que no era el principio. Era la felicidad. Era el momento. En ese momento.

• There is just this for consolation: an hour here or there, when our lives seem, against all odds and expectations, to burst open and give us everything we've ever imagined , though everyone but children (and perhaps even they) knows these hours will inevitably be followed by others, far darker and more difficult. Still, we cherish the city, the morning, we hope, more than anything, for more. Heaven only knows why we love it so.

• Recuerde que a menudo las grandes obras de arte del pasado no parecían grandes al principio, que a menudo no parecían arte en absoluto; cuánto más fácil es, décadas o siglos más tarde, adorarlas, no sólo porque son, de hecho, grandes, sino porque todavía están aquí; porque los inevitables pequeños errores e infelicidades tienden a remitir en un objeto que ha sobrevivido a la Guerra de 1812, a la erupción del Krakatoa, al ascenso y caída del nazismo.
