• Los mortales, hombres y mujeres, devoramos muchas decepciones entre el desayuno y la cena; retenemos las lágrimas y nos vemos un poco pálidos por los labios, y en respuesta a las preguntas decimos: "¡Oh, nada!". El orgullo ayuda; y el orgullo no es malo cuando sólo nos impulsa a ocultar nuestras heridas, no a herir a los demás.

  George Eliot

  Hurt, Disappointment, Pride

• We should be able to bring the practice of meditation hall into our daily lives. We need to discuss among ourselves how to do it. Do you practice breathing between phone calls? Do you practice smiling while cutting carrots? Do you practice relaxation after hard hours of work? These are practical questions. If you know how to apply meditation to dinner time, leisure time, sleeping time, it will penetrate your daily life, and it will also have a tremendous effect on social concerns.

• We really didn't have the option of being couch potatoes when I was growing up. There were only three television channels and the only kid's programming was on Saturday morning. We always played outside until we could hear Mom calling us (not by cell phone but with her hands cupped around her mouth) that it was dinner time.

• Los motivos y propósitos de los autores no son siempre tan puros y elevados como a veces imaginamos en el entusiasmo de la juventud. Para muchos, la trompeta de la fama no es más que un cuerno de hojalata que les llama a casa, como a los jornaleros del campo, a la hora de la cena, y se creen afortunados de conseguirla.

  Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

• Back in the old days, when I was a child, we sat around the family table at dinner time and exchanged our daily experiences. It wasn't very organized, but everyone was recognized and all the news that had to be told was told by each family member. We listened to each other and the interest was not put on; it was real.

• Los aborígenes aún tenemos que luchar para demostrar que somos seres humanos normales y corrientes, como los demás. Sabes, yo crecí, nací sobre una manta del gobierno bajo una palmera. Viví bajo arbustos de lantana, he visto más cenas que cenas, he conocido la discriminación, he conocido los prejuicios, he conocido todas esas cosas... pero algo de eso sigue con nosotros... y hay que cambiarlo.
