• I got jury duty and I didn't want to go, so my friend said, "You should write something really really racist on the form when you return it. Like, you should put 'I hate chinks'." And I said, "I'm not going to put that on there just to get out of jury duty. I don't want people to think that about me." So instead I wrote, "I love chinks." And who doesn't?

• It is far more lucrative and fun to leverage your strengths instead of attempting to fix all the chinks in your armor.  The choice is between multiplication of results using strenths or incremental improvement fixing weaknesses that will, at best, become mediocre.  Focus on better use of your best weapons instead of constant repair.

• Porque media docena de saltamontes bajo un helecho hacen resonar el campo con su importuno chirrido, mientras miles de grandes reses, reposadas bajo la sombra del roble británico, rumian y callan, ruega que no se imagine que los que hacen el ruido son los únicos habitantes del campo; que, por supuesto, son muchos en número; o que, después de todo, son otros que los pequeños, arrugados, exiguos, saltarines, aunque ruidosos y molestos insectos del momento.

• Todos vosotros, dondequiera que estéis: en vuestras ciudades espinosas o en vuestros pueblos de un solo bulto. Encontradlo, la materia dura, los eslabones de metal y grieta, los fragmentos de piedra que llenan vuestro estómago. Y tirad, y tirad, y tirad. Haré un pacto contigo: Lo haré si tú lo haces, siempre y para siempre. Derriba los muros.

• You have taught us much. Come with us and join the movement." "This movement of yours, does it have slogans?" inquired the Chink. "Right on!" they cried. And they quoted him some.

"Then shove it up your butts," said the Chink. "I have taught you nothing.

• Gran parte de mi llanto es por alegría y asombro más que por dolor. El lamento de una trompeta, el cálido aliento del viento, el tintineo de una campana sobre un cordero errante, el humo de una vela recién apagada, la primera luz, el crepúsculo, la luz del fuego. La belleza cotidiana. Lloro por cómo embriaga la vida. Y tal vez sólo un poco por lo rápido que corre.

• And it was there that I saw the most appealing creature in the whole shop. He had a slight chink out of one foot and his 'topknot' was missing (a 'topknot' is on the top of a dragon's head and looks a bit like a shark's fin) but I bought him in an instant.

• The passion for revenge should never blind you to the pragmatics of the situation. There are some people who are so blighted by their past, so warped by experience and the pull of that silken cord, that they never free themselves of the shadows that live in the time machine... And if there is a kind thought due them, it may be found contained in the words of the late Gerald Kersh, who wrote:"... there are men whom one hates until a certain moment when one sees, through a chink in their armour, the writhing of something nailed down and in torment.

• There was a little corner of his mind that was still his own, and light came through it, as though a chink in the dark: light out of the past. It was actually pleasant, I think, to hear a kindly voice agin, bringing up memories of wind, and trees, and sun on the grass, and such forgotten things.
