• Según los estándares internacionales, muchas de las políticas del Reino Unido para la sociedad civil son ejemplares. Sin embargo, preocupan las limitaciones de las libertades civiles, sobre todo las restricciones a la libertad de reunión, y el aumento de la regulación cotidiana, que ha obstaculizado gravemente la actividad de la comunidad, desde la organización de fiestas callejeras hasta la ayuda a los niños.

• In the history of humanity there are no civilizations or cultures which fail to manifest, in one or a thousand ways, this need for an absolute that is called heaven, freedom, a miracle, a lost paradise to be regained, peace, the going beyond History... There is no religion in which everyday life is not considered a prison; there is no philosophy or ideology that does not think that we live in alienation.... Humanity has always had a nostalgia for the freedom that is only beauty, that is only real; life, plenitude, light.

• Nunca había tenido que hacer los ajustes y compromisos que otras personas aceptaban al principio de su carrera romántica; nunca había tenido la oportunidad de aprender la lección que Sarah le enseñaba cada día: que la belleza era sólo una parte, y ni siquiera la más importante, que había transacciones entre las personas que ocurrían en algún misterioso nivel bajo la piel, o quizá incluso más allá del cuerpo.

• I wondered why I hadn't loved that day more, why I hadn't savored every bit of it...why I hadn't known how good it was to live so normally, so everyday. But you only know that, I suppose, after it's not normal and every day any longer.

• no había delito en el plagio inconsciente; que yo lo cometía todos los días, que él lo cometía todos los días, que todo hombre vivo en la tierra que escribe o habla lo comete todos los días y no meramente una o dos veces sino cada vez que abre la boca... no hay nada nuestro en ello salvo algún ligero cambio nacido de nuestro temperamento, carácter, ambiente, enseñanzas y asociaciones...".

• What a wee little part of a person's life are his acts and his words! His real life is led in his head, and is known to none but himself. All day long, the mill of his brain is grinding, and his thoughts, not those of other things, are his history. These are his life, and they are not written. Everyday would make a whole book of 80,000 words -- 365 books a year. Biographies are but the clothes and buttons of the man -- the biography of the man himself cannot be written.

• I don't mean to say that I'm about to state my credo here on this page, but merely to affirm, sincerely for the first time in my life, my belief in man as an individual and independent entity. Certainly not independence in the everyday sense of the word, but pertaining to a freedom and mobility of thought that few people are able - or even have the courage - to achieve.

• Here's an example: someone says, "Master, please hand me the knife," and he hands them the knife, blade first. "Please give me the other end," he says. And the master replies, "What would you do with the other end?" This is answering an everyday matter in terms of the metaphysical. When the question is, "Master, what is the fundamental principle of Buddhism?" Then he replies, "There is enough breeze in this fan to keep me cool." That is answering the metaphysical in terms of the everyday, and that is, more or less, the principle zen works on. The mundane and the sacred are one and the same.

• Give me, for my life, all lives, give me all the pain of everyone, I'm going to turn it into hope. Give me all the joys, even the most secret, because otherwise how will these things be known? I have to tell them, give me the labors of everyday, for that's what I sing.

• Only Esmeralda was not weeping. Instead she wore that wooden look that whites mistake for churlishenss or indifference. Woodrew knew it was neither. It was familiarity. This how real life is constituted, it said. This is grief and hatred and people hacked to death. This is the everyday we have known since we were born and you Wazungu have not.

• El tiempo, que tan a menudo es un enemigo en la vida, también puede convertirse en nuestro aliado si vemos cómo un momento pálido puede desembocar en un momento resplandeciente, para luego pasar a un momento de perfecta transparencia, antes de caer de nuevo en un momento de sencillez cotidiana.

• So that's how we live our lives. No matter how deep and fatal the loss, no matter how important the thing that's stolen from us--that's snatched right out of our hands--even if we are left completely changed, with only the outer layer of skin from before, we continue to play out our lives this way, in silence. We draw ever nearer to the end of our allotted span of time, bidding it farewell as it trails off behind. Repeating, often adroitly, the endless deeds of the everyday. Leaving behind a feeling of immeasurable emptiness.

• Uno de los motivos más poderosos que llevan a los hombres al arte y a la ciencia es escapar de la vida cotidiana, con su dolorosa crudeza y su desesperante monotonía, de las cadenas de los propios deseos siempre cambiantes. Una naturaleza finamente templada anhela escapar de la vida personal al mundo de la percepción y el pensamiento objetivos.
