• And from the moment that I saw you, I knew you was trouble,
  But I disregarded detour signs,
  And did not stop til you was mine.
  I guess God was like, 'Aight, fine.'
  Careful what you wish for, cause you just might get it in heaps.
  Try to give it back, He be like, 'Nah, that's yours to keep.'

• The walking of passers-by offers a series of turns and detours that can be compared to "turns of phrase" or "stylistic figures." There is a rhetoric of walking. The art of "turning" phrases finds an equivalent in an art of composing a path.

• If success were easy, then it would not necessarily be true success. Some of history's most successful people learned to cope with failure as a natural offshoot of the experimental and creative process and often learned more from their failures than their successes. By taking the attitude that failure is merely a detour on the way to our destination, hope can blossom into success.

• I thought following a straight road would lead me right to my destination. Like the road would just take me there because I was following all the rules. And if the road curved, I couldn't be sure about where I was going. But look where it got me. Maybe it's time for a detour.

• When we generally make healthy choices about food (or wise choices about life), we tend to move in the right direction, living as we believe God wants us to live. If we make an intentional exception for a special treat or for a diversion, that might not be a big deal. But if we step off the best path, we're tempted to detour into more unwise choices. In that case, your decision does matter.

• Ningún halcón que se abalance sobre su presa, ningún ciervo que improvise nuevos rodeos para engañar al cazador, ningún perro que olfatee la caza desde lejos es comparable en velocidad a la celeridad de un vendedor cuando cierra un trato, a su habilidad para poner la zancadilla o adelantarse a un rival y al arte con el que olfatea y descubre una posible venta.

• Si el punto es una señal de stop, ¿qué tipo de flujo de tráfico crean otras marcas? La coma es un badén; el punto y coma es lo que un profesor de autoescuela llama "parada rodante"; la expresión entre paréntesis es un desvío; los dos puntos son una luz amarilla intermitente que anuncia algo importante más adelante; el guión es una rama de árbol en la carretera.

• There are certainly people for whom politics is not a category that helps you understand human existence. In fact, it's kind of a detour into superficiality, and although I disagree with those people, I don't think it's the case that everyone who writes has to write politically or has to write in opposition to the really horrendous things that are going on on a political level in the world today. There are some writers who simply aren't any good at that and really should stay away from it.

• I see exercise taking this perverted detour. The original intention of exercise was to heal and maintain health. Now I see it as having nothing to do with health. I see most exercises based on looking good. They actually make you less healthy. You overdevelop the obvious muscles. You take drugs to enhance that. You ignore the rest, and you become more out of balance.

• Me sorprende lo fácil que es que las cosas cambien, lo fácil que es empezar por el mismo camino de siempre y acabar en un sitio nuevo. Sólo un paso en falso, una pausa, un desvío, y acabas con nuevos amigos o una mala reputación o un novio o una ruptura. Nunca se me había ocurrido; nunca había sido capaz de verlo. Y me hace sentir, extrañamente, como si tal vez todas estas posibilidades diferentes existieran al mismo tiempo, como si cada momento que vivimos tuviera mil otros momentos superpuestos que parecen diferentes.

• No te rindas nunca. La gente no entiende lo persistente que hay que ser. Te encuentras con un obstáculo y tienes que encontrar la manera de avanzar. Hay que dar rodeos, navegar entre los obstáculos y conseguirlo. A menos que seas muy fuerte y estés convencido de que puedes lograrlo, te arrastrarán.

• In the labyrinth of a difficult text, we find unmarked forks in the path, detours, blind alleys, loops that deliver us back to our point of entry, and finally the monster who whispers an unintelligible truth in our ears.

• If you don’t know your purpose, discover it, now. The core of your life is your purpose. Everything in your life, from your diet to your career, must be aligned with your purpose if you are to act with coherence and integrity in the world. If you know your purpose, your deepest desire, then the secret of success is to discipline your life so that you support your deepest purpose and minimize distractions and detours.

• Ninguno de nosotros quiere admitir que odia a alguien... Cuando negamos nuestro odio damos un rodeo alrededor de la crisis del perdón. Reprimimos nuestro rencor, hacemos ajustes y creemos que somos demasiado buenos para ser odiosos. Pero la verdad es que no nos atrevemos a arriesgarnos a admitir el odio que sentimos porque no nos atrevemos a arriesgarnos a perdonar a la persona que odiamos.
