• Of course, no state accepts [that it should call] the people it is imprisoning or detaining for political reasons, political prisoners. They don't call them political prisoners in China, they don't call them political prisoners in Azerbaijan and they don't call them political prisoners in the United States, U.K. or Sweden; it is absolutely intolerable to have that kind of self-perception.

• Treatment is not now available for almost half of those who would benefit from it. Yet we are willing to build more and more jails in which to isolate drug users even though at one-seventh the cost of building and maintaining jail space and pursuing, detaining, and prosecuting the drug user, we could subsidize commensurately effective medical care and psychological treatment.

  William F. Buckley, Jr.

• ...recordé el rosal que había sacado una rama espinosa a través de la valla raída y me había cogido el vestido, reteniéndome cuando yo habría seguido adelante. Y de nuevo se apoderó de mí el simbolismo de todo aquello. Estos recuerdos y visiones de los pobres... eran la garra de las espinas. Todos los trabajadores sociales lo han sentido. Les sujeta a su trabajo, porque las espinas se curvan hacia atrás y uno no puede apartarse.

  Albion Fellows Bacon

• Las obras de imaginación sobresalen por su atractivo y deleite; por su poder de atraer y retener la atención. En vano es bueno el libro que el lector desecha. Sólo es maestro aquel que mantiene la mente en grato cautiverio; cuyas páginas se hojean con avidez, y con la esperanza de un nuevo placer se vuelven a hojear; y cuya conclusión se percibe con un ojo de tristeza, como el que arroja el viajero al partir el día.

  Samuel Johnson

• Cuán lastimoso es reflexionar, que a pesar de que estaban tan plenamente convencidos de la benevolencia del Padre de la Humanidad, y de su distribución equitativa e imparcial de estos derechos y privilegios, que les ha conferido, que al mismo tiempo contrarrestaran sus misericordias, al detener por fraude y violencia a una parte tan numerosa de mis hermanos, bajo cautiverio gemido y cruel opresión, que al mismo tiempo fueran encontrados culpables de ese acto más criminal, que profesaban detestar en otros, con respecto a ustedes mismos...

• Ideally a painter (and, generally, an artist) should not become conscious of his insights: without taking the detour through his reflective processes, and incomprehensibly to himself, all his progress should enter so swiftly into the work that he is unable to recognize them in the moment of transition. Alas, the artist who waits in ambush there, watching, detaining them, will find them transformed like the beautiful gold in the fairy tale which cannot remain gold because some small detail was not taken care of.

• The wind that makes music in November corn is in a hurry. The stalks hum, the loose husks whisk skyward in half-playing swirls, and the wind hurries on.... A tree tries to argue, bare limbs waving, but there is no detaining the wind.

  Aldo Leopold
