• Clare había estudiado las curvas de aquellos labios tantas veces que podía reproducirlas mentalmente con facilidad: y ahora, cuando se enfrentaban de nuevo a él, revestidos de color y vida, enviaban un aura sobre su carne, una brisa a través de sus nervios, que casi le producían un escalofrío; y en realidad le producían, por algún misterioso proceso fisiológico, un prosaico estornudo.

• I picked up one of the books and flipped through it. Don't get me wrong, I like reading. But some books should come with warning labels: Caution: contains characters and plots guaranteed to induce sleepiness. Do not attempt to operate heavy machinery after ingesting more than one chapter. Has been known to cause blindness, seizures and a terminal loathing of literature. Should only be taken under the supervision of a highly trained English teacher. Preferably one who grades on the curve.

• Desde el punto de vista de la puntuación, el asombro es un punto al final de una afirmación que hemos dado por sentada durante mucho tiempo, mirar de repente hacia arriba y ver la curva sinuosa de un sombrero alto y negro sobre su cabeza, y darse cuenta de que todo el tiempo era un signo de interrogación.

• Life and love are life and love, a bunch of violets is a bunch of violets, and to drag in the idea of a point is to ruin everything. Live and let live, love and let love, flower and fade, and follow the natural curve, which flows on, pointless.

• It was her first book, an indigo cover with a silver moonflower, an art nouveau flower, I traced my finger along the silver line like smoke, whiplash curves. ... I touched the pages her hands touched, I pressed them to my lips, the soft thick old paper, yellow now, fragile as skin. I stuck my nose between the bindings and smelled all the readings she had given, the smell of unfiltered cigarettes and the espresso machine, beaches and incense and whispered words in the night. I could hear her voice rising from the pages. The cover curled outward like sails.

• ...a choice had to be made when your husband said something unkind. Specifically: be cruel, be strong, or sulk. 'Be cruel' by saying an unkind thing back. 'Be strong' by choosing not to mind. But to do this, you have to use up a piece of your love. You have to shave off enough of the love to forgive. After a while, the piece might grow back, but sometimes not. And if you shave off all the soft curves, you'll be left with a sharp-edged love. 'Sulk' by sulking. Sulking is simply delaying the choice to be cruel or strong.

• La vida tiene belleza para vender, todas las cosas bellas y espléndidas, olas azules blanqueadas en un acantilado, fuego que se eleva y canta, y las caras de los niños mirando hacia arriba, sosteniendo la maravilla como una copa. La vida tiene belleza que vender, Música como una curva de oro, Olor de pinos en la lluvia, Ojos que te aman, brazos que sostienen, Y para el deleite de tu espíritu, Pensamientos santos que estrellan la noche. Gasta todo lo que tienes por la belleza, Cómprala y nunca cuentes el costo; Por una blanca hora de paz Cuenta muchos años de lucha bien perdidos, Y por un soplo de éxtasis Da todo lo que has sido, o podrías ser.

• ...¿Qué se parece más al amor que el océano? Puedes jugar en él, ahogarte en él... puede ser tan claro y brillante como para herir tus ojos, o estar cubierto de niebla, escondido tras una curva de carretera y de repente allí en todo su esplendor. Sus olas vienen como respiraciones, entrando y saliendo, el cuerpo estirado para siempre en sus posibilidades, y sin embargo su corazón yace profundo, no totalmente conocible, inconcebiblemente majestuoso.

• When you're young your mother shields you from the world because she thinks you're too young to understand, and when she's old you shield her because she's too old to understand - or to have any more understanding inflicted upon her. The curve of life goes: want to know, know, don't want to know.

• When implemented, the Complete Lives system produces a priority curve on which individuals aged between roughly 15 and 40 years get the most substantial chance, whereas the youngest and oldest people get chances that are attenuated... The Complete Lives system justifies preference to younger people because of priority to the worst-off rather than instrumental value.

• I have worked to free shape from its ground, and then to work the shape so that it has a definite relationship to the space around it; so that it has a clarity and a measure within itself of its parts (angles, curves, edges and mass); and so that, with color and tonality, the shape finds its own space and always demands its freedom and separateness.

• Pero el futuro indeterminado es, de alguna manera, aquel en el que la probabilidad y la estadística son la modalidad dominante para dar sentido al mundo. Las curvas de Bell y los paseos aleatorios definen cómo será el futuro. El argumento pedagógico estándar es que los institutos deberían deshacerse del cálculo y sustituirlo por la estadística, que es realmente importante y útil. Se ha producido un fuerte giro hacia la idea de que las formas estadísticas de pensar van a dirigir el futuro.

• I saw the Light,saw the myriad spirits flying loose up the Tunnel towards the celestial blaze, the Tunnel perfectly round and widening as they rose and for one blessed moment, one blessed tiny instant, the songs of Heaven resounded down the tunnel as if its curves were not made of wind but of something solid that could echo these ethereal songs, and their organized rhythm, their heartbreaking beauty piercing the catastrophic suffering of this place-Lestat
