• I think it is no small attraction in a painter to be able to give a pleasing air to his figures, and whoever is not naturally possessed of this grace may acquire it by study, as opportunity offers in the following manner: be on the watch to take good parts of many beautiful faces of which the beautiful parts are established by general repute rather than by your own judgement, for you may deceive yourself by selecting faces that resemble your own, since it often seems that such similarities please us; ... so therefore choose the beautiful ones as I tell you and fix them in your mind.

• The extortions and oppressions of government will go on so long as such bare fraudulence deceives and disarms the victims; so long as they are ready to swallow the immemorial official theory that protesting against the stealings of the archbishop's secretary's nephew's mistress' illegitimate son is a sin against the Holy Ghost.

• Sentimientos vienen y sentimientos van, Y los sentimientos engañan; Mi garantía es la Palabra de Dios-- Nada más vale la pena creer. Aunque todo mi corazón se sintiera condenado Por falta de alguna dulce señal, Hay Uno más grande que mi corazón Cuya Palabra no puede ser quebrantada. Confiaré en la inmutable Palabra de Dios Hasta que el alma y el cuerpo se separen, Porque, aunque todas las cosas pasen, ¡SU PALABRA PERMANECERÁ PARA SIEMPRE!

• Romance should never begin with sentiment. It should begin with science and end with a settlement. Nothing spoils romance so much as a sense of humor in the woman. When one is in love one always begins by deceiving oneself, and one always ends by deceiving others. This is what the world calls a romance.

  Oscar Wilde

• He should have said something, why hadn't he? Costis wondered. In fact, the king had. He had complained at every step all the way across the palace, and they'd ignored it. If he'd been stoic and denied the pain, the entire palace would have been in a panic already, Eddisian soldiers on the move. He'd meant to deceive them, and he'd succeeded. It made Costis wonder for the first time just how much the stoic man really wants to hide when he unsuccessfully pretends not to be in pain.

• Who’s to say that it takes something like a drug to mess with your perception of reality? How did Hitler deceive a nation? How can one group of people look at the world and see one thing, and another see something completely different? One sees a town, another sees a desert. One sees beauty, another sees chaos.” The skin of this world,” he said quietly.

• You can deceive yourself into thinking that America is a technological leader, but if you don't see what anyone else is doing you have no accurate assessment - you can't make an accurate assessment of where you fit and why. I consider our moving frontier in space as the anecdote to that downward trend.

• No se equivoque. Aún no soy lo bastante débil para ceder a imaginaciones temerosas, que son casi tan absurdas como las ilusiones de esperanza, y son ciertamente más difíciles de soportar. Si tengo que engañarme a mí mismo, prefiero quedarme del lado de la confianza, porque allí no perderé más y sufriré menos.

• La inmensidad siempre está ahí, pero a menudo nos adormecemos ante ella o nos engañamos pensando que lo grande son nuestras propias vidas y nuestro yo. Adéntrate en el océano o camina por el monte Tamalpais, y ese tipo de amnesia y egocentrismo no es posible. Si te adentras en el mundo natural, ves surgir la existencia, madurar, caer y continuar, y no puedes evitar sentirte más tierno contigo mismo y con los demás. Esa invocación a lo grande y a lo compartido es para lo que también existen los poemas.

  Jane Hirshfield
