• The devil put before me that I could not endure the trials of the religious life, because of my delicate nurture. I defended myself against him by alleging the trials which Christ endured, and that it was not much for me to suffer something for His sake; besides, He would help me to bear it.

• De repente, desde detrás del borde de la luna, en largos momentos de inmensa majestuosidad a cámara lenta, emerge una brillante joya azul y blanca, una ligera y delicada esfera azul celeste entrelazada con velos blancos que se arremolinan lentamente, elevándose poco a poco como una pequeña perla en un espeso mar de misterio negro. Se tarda más de un momento en darse cuenta de que esto es la Tierra... el hogar. Mi visión de nuestro planeta fue un atisbo de divinidad.

• He gave me a look of great contempt; as I supposed, for venturing, even by implication, to draw a parallel between a lack of affluence that might, literally, affect my purchase of rare vintages, and a figure of speech intended delicately to convey his own dire want for the bare necessities of life. He remained silent for several seconds, as if trying to make up his mind whether he could ever bring himself to speak to me again; and then said gruffly: 'I've got to go now.'

• As crude a weapon as the cave man's club, the chemical barrage has been hurled against the fabric of life - a fabric on the one hand delicate and destructible, on the other miraculously tough and resilient, and capable of striking back in unexpected ways. These extraordinary capacities of life have been ignored by the practitioners of chemical control who have brought to their task no "high-minded orientation," no humility before the vast forces with which they tamper.

• Calvin: ¡Mira, un pájaro muerto! Hobbes: Debe haberse golpeado contra una ventana. Calvin: ¿No es precioso? Es tan delicado. Sighhh... una vez que es demasiado tarde, aprecias el milagro que es la vida. Te das cuenta de que la naturaleza es implacable y de que nuestra existencia es muy frágil, temporal y preciosa. Pero para seguir con tus asuntos cotidianos, no puedes pensar realmente en eso... que es probablemente por lo que todo el mundo da por sentado y por lo que actuamos tan irreflexivamente. Es muy confuso. Supongo que todo tendrá sentido cuando seamos mayores. Hobbes: Sin duda.

• ...a pie so delicate, so luscious, that I hope to be propped up on my dying bed and fed a generous portion. Then I think that I should refuse outright to die, for life would be too good to relinquish.

• It was the tenderness mingled with melancholy which we bring to a time that belongs irrevocably to the past, when a pale, delicate shadow rises from it bearing the lilies of the dead, and in it we find a forgotten likeness to ourselves. And that faint, wistful shadow, that pale scent, seemed to vanish away into a wide, full, warm stream - the life that now lay open before him.

• Mi dulce rosa, mi delicada flor, mi lirio de los lirios, es quizás en la cárcel donde voy a probar el poder del amor. Voy a ver si no puedo hacer dulces a los amargos guardianes con la intensidad del amor que te profeso. He tenido momentos en que pensé que sería prudente separarme. ¡Ah! ¡Momentos de debilidad y locura! Ahora veo que eso habría mutilado mi vida, arruinado mi arte, roto las cuerdas musicales que hacen un alma perfecta. Incluso cubierto de barro te alabaré, desde los abismos más profundos te gritaré. En mi soledad estarás conmigo.

• The rare, delicate flavor of a life after retiring in one's sixties, whatever one has "retired" from, the pleasure I experienced beyond my job at Columbia, is a gift of life in the last decades. but it is not easily learned. . . . But sometimes, the only way to live is to get out, or at least seriously to contemplate getting out, doing the impossible,flinging the conventional tea.

• Te amaré siempre. Cuando este pelo rojo sea blanco, te seguiré queriendo. Cuando la tersa suavidad de la juventud sea sustituida por la delicada suavidad de la edad, seguiré queriendo tocar tu piel. Cuando tu cara esté llena de las líneas de cada sonrisa que hayas esbozado, de cada sorpresa que haya visto pasar por tus ojos, cuando cada lágrima que hayas llorado haya dejado su huella en tu rostro, te apreciaré aún más, porque estuve allí para verlo todo. Compartiré tu vida contigo, Meredith, y te querré hasta que el último aliento abandone tu cuerpo o el mío.

• No one was ever born without that light or flame of life. Some event, some person stifles or drowns it altogether. I was always tempted to resuscitate such men by my own joyousness or luminosity.When I break glasses in a night club, as the Russians do, when my unconscious breaks out in wild rebellions, it is against life which has crippled these idealistic, romantic men. I respect these men, cold, pure, faithful, devoted, moral, delicate, sensitive, and unequal to life, more than I respect the tough-minded ones who return three blows to one received, who kill those who hurt them.

• And is an ending always bad? it asked. Must not all things, even worlds, someday end?"There is no need to hasten that end," Vin said. "No reason to force it."All things are subject to their own nature, Vin, Ruin said, seeming to flow around her. She could feel its touch upon her - wet and delicate, like mist. You cannot blame me for being what I am. Without me, nothing would end. Nothing could end. And therefore, nothing could grow. I am life. Would you fight life itself?
