• Septiembre es el mes de la madurez; la cesta amontonada y la gavilla recogida. Es el mes del clímax y la culminación. ¡Septiembre! No me canso de darle vueltas en la cabeza. Tiene calor, profundidad y color. Brilla como el ámbar viejo.

• In the streets of New York between seven and nine in the morning you will see the slow procession of dog and downer proceeding from street to tree to hydrant to trash basket. They are apartment dogs. They are taken out twice a day, and, while it is a cliché, it is truly amazing how owner and dog resemble each other. They grow to walk alike and have the same set of head.

  John Steinbeck

  Dog, Morning, New York

• ¿Sabes lo que pienso? ¡Que es el destino! ¡Eso es el destino! Hay una cosa que viene detrás de un tipo: tiene un nombre, pero olvidé cuál es. Se acerca sigilosamente por detrás y lo mete en la cesta cuando no se lo espera.

• What shall I compare it to, this fantastic thing I call my Mind? To a waste-paper basket, to a sieve choked with sediment, or to a barrel full of floating froth and refuse? No, what it is really most like is a spider's web, insecurely hung on leaves and twigs, quivering in every wind, and sprinkled with dewdrops and dead flies. And at its centre, pondering forever the Problem of Existence, sits motionless the spider-like and uncanny Soul.

• Si voy a la cafetería y tengo una interacción agradable con el camarero, no sé lo que eso hace por la paz mundial, pero tenemos que asumir que en la gran cesta de la bondad tal vez sea una pequeña micra o un pequeño neutrón lo que has puesto ahí.

• Auntie Phyl's last months in the care home were extra pieces. Age is unnecessary. Some of us, like my mother, are fortunate enough to die swiftly and suddenly, in full possession of our faculties and our fate, but more and more of us will be condemned to linger, at the mercy of anxious or indifferent relatives, careless strangers, unwanted medical interventions, increasing debility, incontinence, memory loss. We live too long, but, like the sibyl hanging in her basket in the cave at Cumae, we find it hard to die.

• He aquí que el necio dice: "No pongas todos los huevos en la misma cesta", que no es más que decir: "Dispersa tu dinero y tu atención"; pero el sabio dice: "Pon todos los huevos en la misma cesta y - VIGILA ESA CESTA". - Calendario de Pudd'nhead Wilson

• I'm going to get down to a still life on a size 50 canvas of rayfish and dogfish with old fishermen's baskets. Then I'm going to turn out a few pictures to send wherever possible, given that now, first and foremost - unfortunately - I have to earn some money.

• Esta vez es difícil. Espérame. Lo viviremos vívidamente. Dame tu pequeña mano: nos levantaremos y sufriremos, sentiremos, nos alegraremos. Volvemos a ser la pareja que vivía en lugares erizados, en duros nidos en la roca. Esta vez es difícil. Espérame con un cesto, con una pala, con tus zapatos y tu ropa. Ahora nos necesitamos mutuamente, no sólo por los claveles, no sólo para buscar miel: necesitamos nuestras manos para lavarnos, para hacer fuego.

  Pablo Neruda

  Ojo, fuego, manos pequeñas

• It would be great if we were on multiple planets, but I think that's unrealistic. Hawking says we have to be on multiple planets so an asteroid could come and you'd still have some humans left. It's a nice idea. It satisfies the multiple-eggs-in-multiple-baskets concept.

• Every one is fond of comparing himself to something great and grandiose, as Louis XIV likened himself to the sun, and others have had like similes. I am more humble. I am a mere street scavenger (chiffonier) of science. With my hook in my hand and my basket on my back, I go about the streets of science, collecting what I find.

• Anoche vi a tu fantasma pedaleando en una bicicleta con una cesta hacia una luna tan llena como mi pesada cabeza y nada me apetecía más que estar sentada en esa cesta como ET con mi corazón resplandeciente atravesándome el pecho y mi dedo resplandeciente apuntando en dirección a nuestro hogar.

• We all get attached to frayed towels, mismatched sheets and shapeless pillows, associating them with years of comfort, but they have ceased to be functional! As for the plethora of hotel freebies, gather them in a basket to be offered as a hospitality service to your overnight guests. They'll be pleased by your thoughtfulness-and amazed that you're so organized.

• To the engineer, all matter in the universe can be placed into one of two categories: (1) things that need to be fixed, and (2) things that will need to be fixed after you've had a few minutes to play with them. Skill without imagination is craftsmanship and gives us many useful objects such as wickerwork picnic baskets. Imagination without skill gives us modern art.

• Failure is an inescapable part of life and a critically important part of any successful life. We learn to walk by falling, to talk by babbling, to shoot a basket by missing, and to color the inside of a square by scribbling outside the box. Those who intensely fear failing end up falling short of their potential. We either learn to fail or we fail to learn.

• Let me go back to a comfortable analogy for me - sports... basketball. I use it because you're naive if you don't see the national full-court press picking away right now: A good point guard drives through a full court press, protecting the ball, keeping her eye on the basket... and she knows exactly when to pass the ball so that the team can WIN.

• One great benefit of not being on TV every week is that people will be a lot less interested in what I have in my supermarket basket. I could even un-tint my car windows - or at least opt for a lighter shade.

• About the time you think you are getting to know the moves in this game, someone comes along and does everything but undress you on the basketball floor. Standing there under the basket with your hands cupped - and finding that you dont have the ball in them - is a great little old leveler.

• En todo animal que camina erguido, la deficiencia de los Fluidos que llenan los Músculos aparece primero en la Parte más alta: La cara se vuelve primero flaca y arrugada; después el cuello; después el pecho y los brazos; las partes inferiores continúan hasta el final tan regordetas como siempre; de modo que cubriendo todo lo de arriba con una cesta, y considerando sólo lo que está por debajo de la faja, es imposible que dos mujeres distingan a una vieja de una joven.

• THAT crazed girl improvising her music. Her poetry, dancing upon the shore, Her soul in division from itself Climbing, falling She knew not where, Hiding amid the cargo of a steamship, Her knee-cap broken, that girl I declare A beautiful lofty thing, or a thing Heroically lost, heroically found. No matter what disaster occurred She stood in desperate music wound, Wound, wound, and she made in her triumph Where the bales and the baskets lay No common intelligible sound But sang, 'O sea-starved, hungry sea

• Ningún jugador de la NBA nació queriendo jugar al baloncesto. El deseo de jugar al baloncesto o de leer hay que sembrarlo. Los últimos 25 años de investigación demuestran que leer en voz alta a un niño es el método más antiguo, más barato y más exitoso de inculcar ese deseo. Encestar canastas con un niño crea un jugador de baloncesto; leer a un niño crea un lector.

• I played on an all-boys team in the 8th grade, but they wouldnt throw me the ball even though I was on their team. One day I stole the ball from my own teammate and I made a basket. From that point on, everyone yelled Give the ball to the girl! I was the only girl on the whole league!
