• Y, sin embargo, creo que, en última instancia, hay un sentido en el caos, y también en el abatimiento. A lo que me resisto no es a la verdad, sino a que la gente le ponga un bonito lazo a las cosas que dan miedo en lugar de decir: "Esto es una pesadilla. Lo odio todo. Voy a esconderme en el garaje'.

• Sometimes I have experienced God in extraordinary ways - in dramatic surprises or soul-expanding insights or unexplainable mystical encounters. More often, I have felt God's reality in the simple encouragement of a friend, in the gentle inspiration of a sermon, or in the familiar ritual of the Eucharist and I'd be less than honest if I didn't also say that at times, I've found myself in the spiritual doldrums, cast adrift, wondering if the wind would ever blow again.

• Such beauty, he thought, was too perfect to have come about by mere chance. That day in the center of the Pacific was, to him, a gift crafted deliberately, compassionately, for him and Phil. Joyful and grateful in the midst of slow dying, the two men bathed in that day until sunset brought is, and their time in the doldrums, to an end.

• I was in the doldrums for a while after my athletics career ended in 1992. I spent six to eight hours a day training, for 18 years, and it took a long time to get over the regret that I wasn't competing in major championships any more. All I ever wanted to be was the best. But I find new projects and I keep things in perspective.

• Pero para mí, cenar en un buen restaurante era el lujo supremo. Era el culmen de la civilización. Porque, ¿qué era la civilización sino el ascenso del intelecto desde el marasmo de la necesidad (refugio, sustento y supervivencia) al éter de lo finamente superfluo (poesía, bolsos y alta cocina)? La experiencia estaba tan alejada de la vida cotidiana que, cuando todo estaba podrido hasta la médula, una buena cena podía reanimar el espíritu. Cuando me quedaran veinte dólares, los invertiría aquí mismo, en una hora elegante e inembargable.

• The best time to write is when your life is in the toilet. Writing offers an escape from your problems, so if you force yourself to write when you're in the doldrums, it will have the perverse effect of cheering you up. At the very least, it allows you to inflict your pain on your characters, which has the dual effect of giving them more depth while relieving your own tension.

• It seems not to matter that we are at the brink of a war that may spread beyond Afghanistan and Iraq to Iran and Georgia and then where? To Syria? To North Korea? To China? That we in America are in economic doldrums and are seeing small businesses fold and houses reclaimed by banks and a smouldering panic that is palpable everywhere.

• What happens in animation is that you don't really start the story until you're boarding it, which usually means that you've gotta go through some sort of a script phase. And you can get caught in the doldrums there, overdeveloping that, when you don't really know what you have until you put it up in storyboards.
