• Sickness is the natural state in which we humans reside. We occasionally fall into brief brackets of health, only to return to our fevers, our infections, our rapid, minute mutations, which take us toward death even as they evolve us, as a species, into some ill-defined future.

• Quisiera poder tomar el lenguaje Y doblarlo como trapos frescos y húmedos. Pondría palabras en tu frente. Envolvería palabras en tus muñecas. "Ahí, ahí", dirían mis palabras, o algo mejor. Les pediría que murmuraran: "Calla" y "Shh, shhh, está bien". Les pediría que te abrazaran toda la noche. Desearía poder tomar el lenguaje Y embadurnar y aliviar y refrescar Donde la fiebre ampolla y quema, Donde la fiebre se vuelve contra ti. Ojalá pudiera tomar el lenguaje Y curar las palabras que fueron las heridas Para las que no tienes nombre.

  Julia Margaret Cameron

• El viejo cazador de orquídeas se recostó en la almohada, con el cuerpo flácido... 'Maldecirás a los insectos', dijo al menos, 'y maldecirás a los nativos... El sol te quemará de día y el frío te marchitará de noche. Estarás atormentado por la fiebre y atormentado por cien molestias, pero seguirás adelante. Porque cuando un hombre se enamora de las orquídeas, hará cualquier cosa por poseer la que desea. Es como perseguir a una mujer de ojos verdes o tomar cocaína... es una especie de locura.

• Terrorism [is] a biological consequence of the multinationals, just as a day of fever is the reasonable price of an effective vaccine . . . The conflict is between great powers, not between demons and heroes. Unhappily, therefore, is the nation that finds the "heroes" underfoot, especially if they still think in religious terms and involve the population in their bloody ascent to an uninhabited paradise.

• Who o'er the herd would wish to reign, Fantastic, fickle, fierce, and vain! Vain as the leaf upon the stream, And fickle as a changeful dream; Fantastic as a woman's mood, And fierce as Frenzy's fever'd blood. Thou many-headed monster thing, Oh who would wish to be thy king!

• Mr Earbrass stands on the terrace at twilight. It is bleak; it is cold; and the virtue has gone out of everything. Words drift through his mind: anguish turnips conjunctions illness defeat string parties no parties urns desuetude disaffection claws loss Trebizond napkins shame stones distance fever Antipodes mush glaciers incoherence labels miasma amputation tides deceit mourning elsewards.

• Cuando contemplo una mesa de moda puesta con toda su magnificencia, me parece ver gotitas y hidropesía, fiebres y letargos, con otros innumerables males que yacen emboscados entre los platos. La naturaleza se deleita en la dieta más simple y sencilla. Todos los animales, excepto el hombre, se limitan a un solo plato. Las hierbas son el alimento de esta especie, el pescado de aquella, y la carne de una tercera. El hombre cae sobre todo lo que se cruza en su camino; ni el más pequeño fruto o excrecencia de la tierra, apenas una baya o una seta pueden escapársele.

• That,' he said, with almost religious fever, 'was the coolest thing you have ever done. In fact, that may have been the coolest thing you ever will do. Your entire existence has been moving toward one shining moment, George, and that was the moment when you thought, 'Hey, why don't I just go over the zombies?

• Side by side with the human race there runs another race of beings, the inhuman ones, the race of artists who, goaded by unknown impulses, take the lifeless mass of humanity and by the fever and ferment with which they imbue it turn this soggy dough into bread and the bread into wine and the wine into song.

• It only takes one mistake,' the Dan Banyan guy says, 'and nothing else you ever do will matter.' With his empty hand, he takes one of my hands. His fingers feel hot, fever-hot, and pounding with his heartbeats. He turns my hand palm-up saying, 'No matter how hard you work or how smart you become, you'll always be known for that one poor choice.' He sets the blue pill on my palm, saying, 'Do that one wrong thing- and you'll be dead for the rest of your life.

• Mi sangre subió, mezclándose con mi persistente miedo a lo desconocido para llevarla a un punto febril. Sus labios tocaron la parte inferior de mi cuello y el vértigo hizo girar la habitación, quemando trazos de deseo para instalarse en lo más profundo y bajo de mí. Exhalé la promesa de lo que vendría, llamándola hacia mí. Lo aspiré como si fuera humo, y la pasión creciente provocó una sensación de abandono en mi interior. Ya no me importaba si estaba bien o mal. Simplemente lo era.

• Alexander tilted his head and kissed her deeply on the lips. He let go of her hands, and she wrapped her arms around his neck, pressing herself against him. They kissed as if in a fever... they kissed as if the breath were leaving their bodies.

• In fact her maturity and blood kinship converted her passion to fever, so it was more affliction than affection. It literally knocked her down at night, and raised her up in the morning, for when she dragged herself off to bed, having spent another day without his presence, her heart beat like a gloved fist against her ribs. And in the morning, long before she was fully awake, she felt a longing so bitter and tight it yanked her out of a sleep swept clean of dreams.

• Decía que las personas que amaban [a los animales] en exceso eran capaces de las peores crueldades hacia los seres humanos. Decía que los perros no eran leales sino serviles, que los gatos eran oportunistas y traidores, que los pavos reales eran heraldos de la muerte, que los guacamayos eran simples molestias decorativas, que los conejos fomentaban la codicia, que los monos eran portadores de la fiebre de la lujuria y que los gallos estaban condenados porque habían sido cómplices de las tres negaciones de Cristo.

• ...if you are writing without zest, without gusto, without love, without fun, you are only half a writer. It means you are so busy keeping one eye on the commercial market, or one ear peeled for the avant-garde coterie, that you are not being yourself. You don't even know yourself. For the first thing a writer should be is-- excited. He should be a thing of fevers and enthusiasms.
