• It was in the air, or so it seemed to Kiki, this hatred of women and their bodies- it seeped in with every draught in the house; people brought it home on their shoes, they breathed it in off their newspapers. There was no way to control it.

• Sí, los libros, los amigos generosos que me recibieron sin recelo, los maestros misericordiosos que nunca me maltrataron.

• Miró a la pequeña doncella y ella le miró a él; y sintió que se derretía, pero aún así consiguió mantenerse erguido, empuñando su arma con valentía. De pronto se abrió una puerta, la corriente de aire alcanzó a la pequeña bailarina y ella revoloteó como una sílfide, directa hacia el fuego, hacia el soldado, ¡se encendió y desapareció! A la mañana siguiente, cuando la criada retiró las cenizas, lo encontró en forma de un pequeño corazón de hojalata. De la bailarina sólo quedaba su lentejuela, quemada como un carbón.

• But leave me to my beer! Gold is dross, love is loss, so if I gulp my sorrows down, or see them drown in foamy draughts of old nut-brown, then I do wear the crown, without the cross!

• Para mí, los momentos que siempre lamento son las oportunidades perdidas de despedirme de las buenas personas, de desearles larga vida y decirles con toda sinceridad: "Construyes y no destruyes; siembras buena voluntad y la cosechas; las sonrisas florecen a tu paso, y yo guardaré tu bondad en depósito y la compartiré cuando surja la ocasión, para que tu vida sea una refrescante bocanada de calma en una tierra de sequía y estrés". Demasiado a menudo nunca llego a decir eso cuando debería decirlo. En lugar de eso, les dejo con el equivalente a un "¡Hasta luego, amigo!", sólo para descubrir que no habrá un "hasta luego" para nosotros.

  Kevin Hearne

  Bondad, Arrepentimiento, Estrés

• I must continue to follow the path I take now. If I do nothing, if I study nothing, if I cease searching, then, woe is me, I am lost. That is how I look at it — keep going, keep going come what may. But what is your final goal, you may ask. That goal will become clearer, will emerge slowly but surely, much as the rough draught turns into a sketch, and the sketch into a painting through the serious work done on it, through the elaboration of the original vague idea and through the consolidation of the first fleeting and passing thought.

  Vincent Van Gogh

  Woe Is Me, Ideas, Goal

• Ask yourself my love whether you are not very cruel to have so entrammelled me, so destroyed my freedom. Will you confess this in the Letter you must write immediately, and do all you can to console me in it — make it rich as a draught of poppies to intoxicate me —write the softest words and kiss them that I may at least touch my lips where yours have been. For myself I know not how to express my devotion to so fair a form: I want a brighter word than bright, a fairer word than fair.

• God is dethroned; and although the incognizant masses are tardy in realizing the event, they feel the icy draught caused by that vacancy. Man enters upon a spiritual ice age; the established churches can no longer provide more than Eskimo huts where their shivering flock huddles together.

• La superstición, ese horrible íncubo que habitaba en las tinieblas y rehuía la luz, con sus estantes, sus cálices envenenados y sus asquerosas corrientes de aire para dormir, está desapareciendo sin retorno. La religión no puede desaparecer. La quema de un poco de paja puede ocultar las estrellas del cielo; pero las estrellas están ahí y volverán a aparecer.

• Near yonder thorn, that lifts its head on high,
  Where once the sign-post caught the passing eye,
  Low lies that house where nut-brown draughts inspired,
  Where graybeard mirth and smiling toil retired,
  Where village statesmen talk'd with looks profound,
  And news much older than their ale went round.

  Oliver Goldsmith

  Lying, Eye, Nuts
