• Do you know who you are? God made you a woman. Accept His gift. Don't be afraid to be feminine and to add physical and spiritual loveliness to the setting where He has placed you. You are a child of God. You are a part of the bride of Christ. You belong to the King--you are royalty. Dress and conduct yourself in a way that reflects your high and holy calling. God has called you out of this world's system--don't let the world press you into its mold. Don't think, dress, or act like the world; inwardly and outwardly, let others see the difference He makes in your life.

• Él tiene el poder de hacernos felices o infelices; de hacer nuestro servicio ligero o pesado; un placer o un trabajo.

La felicidad que da es tan grande como si costara una fortuna.

• Pero ahora me pregunto: ¿y si todo el mundo fuera más o menos igual y sólo se tratara de miles de pequeñas elecciones que nos convierten en la persona que somos? Ni el bien ni el mal, ni el blanco ni el negro, ni demonios internos ni ángeles que nos susurren al oído las respuestas correctas como si fuera un examen cósmico de selectividad. Sólo nosotros, hora a hora, minuto a minuto, día a día, tomando las mejores decisiones que podamos. La idea es espeluznante. Si eso es cierto, entonces no hay elección correcta. Sólo hay elección.

• Me aterra la idea de que el tiempo pase (o lo que sea que se entienda por esa frase) tanto si "hago" algo como si no. En el fondo, creo que no hacer nada frena el paso del tiempo, pero no es así.

• La amo por lo que se ha atrevido a ser, por su dureza, su crueldad, su egoísmo, su perversidad, su demoníaca destructividad. Me reduciría a cenizas sin dudarlo. Es una personalidad creada hasta el límite. Adoro su valor para herir, y estoy dispuesto a sacrificarme por ella. Ella añadirá la suma de mí a ella. Ella será June más todo lo que yo contengo.

• Conozco un planeta donde hay cierto caballero de cara roja. Nunca ha olido una flor. Nunca ha mirado una estrella. Nunca ha amado a nadie. Nunca ha hecho otra cosa en su vida que sumar cifras.

• Llega un momento en algunas relaciones en que, por muy sincero que sea el intento de reconciliar las diferencias o por muy fuerte que sea el deseo de recrear una parte del pasado que una vez se compartió, la lucha se vuelve tan dolorosa que no se siente nada más y el mundo y toda su belleza no hacen sino aumentar el malestar proporcionando un cruel contraste.

• It's too early for there to be any coffee. I stare dully at the empty pot in the common room, while Sam picks up a jar of instant grounds. "Don't," I warn him. He scoops up a heaping spoonful and, heedlessly, shovels it into his mouth. It crunches horribly. Then his eyes go wide. "Dry," he croaks. "Tongue...shriveling." I shake my head, picking up the jar. "It's dehydrated. You're supposed to add water. Good thing you're mostly made of water." He tries to say something. Brown powder dusts his shirt. "Also," I tell him, "that's decaf.

• In this world are very few things made from logic alone. It is illogical for man to be too logical. Some things we must just let stand. The mystery is more important than any possible explanation. The searcher after truth must search with humanity. Ruthless logic is the sign of a limited mind. The truth can only add to the sum of what you know, while a harmless mystery left unexplored often adds to the meaning of life. When a truth is not so important, it is better left as a mystery.
