• Chess never has been and never can be aught but a recreation. It should not be indulged in to the detriment of other and more serious avocations - should not absorb or engross the thoughts of those who worship at its shrine, but should be kept in the background, and restrained within its proper province. As a mere game, a relaxation from the severe pursuits of life, it is deserving of high commendation.

• Si el día del Juicio Final fuera llamado por San Pedro para dar testimonio del acto de bondad del que fuera sheriff, sería incapaz de decir nada en su favor. Su confianza en que mi tío y todos los demás negros que se enteraran de la próxima cabalgada del Ku Klux Klan se esconderían bajo sus casas entre excrementos de gallina era demasiado humillante. Sin esperar el agradecimiento de mamá, salió cabalgando del patio, seguro de que las cosas eran como debían ser y de que él era un gentil escudero, que salvaba a aquellos siervos merecedores de las leyes de la tierra, que él aprobaba.

• An undertaking of great magnitude and importance, the successful accomplishment of which, in so comparatively short a period, notwithstanding the unheard of unestimable difficulties and impediments which had to be encountered and surmounted, in an almost unexplored and uninhabited wilderness . . . evinced on your part a moral courage and an undaunted spirit and combination of science and management equally exciting our admiration and deserving our praise.

• There's so much humanity in a love of trees, so much nostalgia for our first sense of wonder, so much power in just feeling our own insignificance when we are surrounded by nature...yes, that's it: just thinking about trees and their indifferent majesty and our love for them teaches us how ridiculous we are - vile parasites squirming on the surface of the earth - and at the same time how deserving of life we can be, when we can honor this beauty that owes us nothing.

• La sociedad civil no se fundó simplemente para preservar la vida de sus miembros, sino para que vivieran bien, pues de otro modo un estado podría estar compuesto de esclavos o de la creación animal... tampoco es una alianza para defenderse mutuamente de las injurias o para una relación comercial. Pero quien se esfuerza por establecer leyes sanas en un estado, atiende a las virtudes y vicios de cada individuo que lo compone; de donde es evidente que el primer cuidado de quien quiere fundar una ciudad que merezca realmente ese nombre, y no nominalmente, debe ser que sus ciudadanos sean virtuosos.

• Porque cada uno de nosotros lo merece todo, todos los lujos que alguna vez se amontonaron en las tumbas de los Reyes muertos, y cada uno de nosotros no merece nada, ni un bocado de pan en el hambre. ¿No hemos comido mientras otro moría de hambre? ¿Nos castigarás por eso? ¿Nos recompensarás por la virtud de morir de hambre mientras otros comían? Ningún hombre merece castigo, ningún hombre merece recompensa. Libera tu mente de la idea de merecer, de la idea de ganar, y empezarás a ser capaz de pensar.

• Su vida fue una lenta constatación de que el mundo no era para ella y de que, por alguna razón, nunca sería feliz y honesta al mismo tiempo. Sentía como si rebosara siempre produciendo y atesorando más amor en su interior. Pero no había liberación. mesa marfil elefante encanto arco iris cebolla peinado violencia melodrama miel...Nada de eso la conmovía. Se dirigió al mundo buscando honestamente algo que mereciera los volúmenes de amor que sabía que llevaba dentro, pero a cada uno tendría que decirle no te quiero.
