• Hay dos novelas que pueden transformar la vida de un chico de 14 años aficionado a los libros: El Señor de los Anillos y Atlas Shrugged. Una es una ensoñación infantil que puede conducir a una edad adulta emocionalmente atrofiada y socialmente incapacitada... en la que se pasa gran parte del día inventando formas de hacer que la vida real se parezca más a una novela fantástica. El otro es un libro sobre orcos.

• Rezo para que cada uno de nosotros permanezca despierto mientras caemos. Rezo para que elijamos adentrarnos en el abismo voluntariamente y para que nuestra caída esté amortiguada por la fe: fe en que en el fondo seremos atrapados y enseñados y nos volveremos hacia la luz. Rezo para que no malgastemos nuestra valiosa energía avergonzándonos de nuestros errores o de nuestros defectos. Después de años de enseñar, sólo sé unas pocas cosas con seguridad. Una de ellas es ésta: Somos trozos de materia densa que hay que abrir. Nuestros errores y defectos son grietas en la armadura del corazón a través de las cuales pueden brillar nuestros verdaderos colores.

• To be effective, every knowledge worker, and especially every executive, therefore needs to dispose of time in fairly large chunks. To have small dribs and drabs of time at his disposal will not be sufficient even if the total is an impressive number of hours.

• Podría tomar a los mejores negociantes de todos los tiempos y siempre han tenido algo que no ha funcionado. Nunca quieres ponerte en la situación de que algo que no funcione sea más grande de lo que eres y, por lo tanto, te hunda. Tiene que ser en trozos más pequeños. En todos los casos, quiero aprender algo de las cosas que no funcionaron del todo y aprender, para que no vuelva a ocurrir o para que en el futuro tomes grandes decisiones. No quieres cometer el mismo error dos veces y eso hay que aprenderlo pronto en la vida.

• I've always made things either paintings, drawing, photographs, or writing. It's all kind of the same thing. It all involves saying more, I guess. It involves separating life, breaking off this chunk that's devoted to making something. There's a lot of pleasure in that, but there can also be a lot of struggle. There's always this fantasy that you could just live life and not have to think about it.

• True. There is
  a beautiful Jesus.
  He is frozen to his bones like a chunk of beef.
  How desperately he wanted to pull his arms in!
  How desperately I touch his vertical and horizontal axes!
  But I can't. Need is not quite belief.

• I'm not suggesting that all men are beautiful, vulnerable boys, but we all started out that way. What happened to us? How did we become monsters of feminist nightmares? The answer, of course, is that we underwent a careful and deliberate process of gender training, sometimes brutal, always dehumanizing, cutting away large chunks of ourselves. Little girls went through something similarly crippling. If the gender training was successful, we each ended up being half a person.

• I have seen salmon swimming upstream to spawn even with their eyes pecked out. Even as they are dying, as their flesh is falling away from their spines, I have seen salmon fighting to protect their nests. I have seen them push up creeks so small that they rammed themselves across the gravel. I have seen them swim upstream with huge chunks bitten out of their bodies by bears. Salmon are incredibly driven to spawn. They will not give up. This gives me hope.

• The house kept its own time, like the old-fashioned grandfather clock in the living room. People who happened by raised the weights, and as long as the weights were wound, the clock continued ticking away. But with people gone and the weights unattended, whole chunks of time were left to collect in deposits of faded life on the floor.

• The chunks of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 were so large, and were moving so fast, that each hit Jupiter with at least the equivalent energy of the dinosaur-killing collision between Earth and an asteroid 65 million years ago.

• Human beings any one of us, and our species as a whole are not all-important, not at the center of the world.

• The public wants a great product, but they also want more layers of value. So it's lifestyle, it's takeaway, it's entertainment. It's all of those things and social media facilitates a big chunk of that, because they want to touch and feel you, they want to talk to someone about it, they want to join a community of other people who dance to the beat of a different drummer.
