• La historia de la humanidad se forja a partir de innumerables actos de coraje y fe. Cada vez que un hombre defiende un ideal o actúa para mejorar la suerte de los demás o se opone a la injusticia, envía una pequeña onda de esperanza, y al cruzarse desde un millón de centros diferentes de energía y audacia, esas ondas crean una corriente que puede derribar los muros más poderosos de la opresión y la resistencia.

  Robert Kennedy

  Cambio, esperanza, coraje

• There are ways in, journeys to the center of life, through time; through air, matter, dream and thought. The ways are not always mapped or charted, but sometimes being lost, if there is such a thing, is the sweetest place to be. And always, in this search, a person might find that she is already there, at the center of the world. It may be a broken world, but it is glorious nonetheless.

  Linda Hogan

• The desire to go home that is a desire to be whole, to know where you are, to be the point of intersection of all the lines drawn through all the stars, to be the constellation-maker and the center of the world, that center called love. To awaken from sleep, to rest from awakening, to tame the animal, to let the soul go wild, to shelter in darkness and blaze with light, to cease to speak and be perfectly understood.

• Unhappiness, I saw then, comes to each of us because we think ourselves at the center of the world, because we have the miserable conviction the we alone suffer to the point of unbearable intensity. Unhappiness is always to feel oneself imprisoned in one's own skin, in one's own brain.

• Para el perfecto holgazán, para el observador apasionado se convierte en una inmensa fuente de placer establecer su morada en la multitud, en el flujo y reflujo, el bullicio, lo fugaz y lo infinito. Estar lejos de casa y, sin embargo, sentirse como en casa en cualquier parte; ver el mundo, estar en el centro mismo del mundo y, sin embargo, no ser visto por el mundo, tales son algunos de los pequeños placeres de esos espíritus independientes, intensos e imparciales, que no se prestan fácilmente a las definiciones lingüísticas. El observador es un príncipe que disfruta de su incógnito allá donde va.

  Charles Baudelaire

• If you want to live in Tennessee, God bless you, I wish for you a long life and starry evenings. But that is not where I want to live my life. I want to live my life in Carthage, in Athens.

• Elena had always felt like the center of her own world - who doesn't? The world arranged itself around her like petals around the stem of a flower. This way the meadows, that way the woodland. Over here, the baryn's estate, out there, the hills that hug the known world close and imply a world at beyond. She could never come up with the edge of a world, because it always kept going on beyond. She moved the center of the world as she walked. The world was balanced on her head.

  Gregory Maguire
