• Picture a tall, dark figure, surrounded by cornfields... NO, YOU CAN'T RIDE A CAT. WHO EVER HEARD OF THE DEATH OF RATS RIDING A CAT? THE DEATH OF RATS WOULD RIDE SOME KIND OF DOG. Picture more fields, a great horizon-spanning network of fields, rolling in gentle waves... DON'T ASK ME I DON'T KNOW. SOME KIND OF TERRIER, MAYBE. ...fields of corn, alive, whispering in the breeze... RIGHT, AND THE DEATH OF FLEAS CAN RIDE IT TOO. THAT WAY YOU KILL TWO BIRDS WITH ONE STONE. ...awaiting the clockwork of the seasons. METAPHORICALLY.

  Terry Pratchett

• El muchacho yacía profundamente dormido en una tosca cama en el suelo; tan pálido por la ansiedad y la tristeza, y por la cercanía de su prisión, que parecía la muerte; no la muerte como se muestra en la mortaja y el ataúd, sino en el aspecto que lleva cuando la vida acaba de partir; cuando un espíritu joven y gentil ha huido, sólo un instante, al Cielo: y el aire grosero del mundo no ha tenido tiempo de respirar sobre el polvo cambiante que santificó.

• Cuando Cole y Peter salieron del colegio aquel día, se detuvieron junto a la estatua del bulldog. "¡Estáis destrozando el colegio!", gritó uno de los deportistas que pasaban por allí. "¡No puedes destrozar algo que ya está destrozado!" gritó Peter enfadado. "Oye, Peter, somos Osos Espirituales", le recordó Cole a su amigo. "Los Osos Espíritu son fuertes, amables y bondadosos". Peter se lo pensó un momento. "A ti te destrozaron, así que eso demuestra que ellos también pueden enfadarse.

• Writing about the indignities of old age: the daunting stairway to the restaurant restroom, the benefits of a wheelchair in airports and its disadvantages at cocktail parties, giving the user what he described as a child's-eye view of the party and a crotch-level view of the guests. Dying is a matter of slapstick and pratfalls. The aging process is not gradual or gentle. It rushes up, pushes you over and runs off laughing. No one should grow old who isn't ready to appear ridiculous.

• They dream of men with gentle hands, eloquent with tenderness, fingers that brushed along a cheek, that outlined open lips in the lovers' braille. Hands that sculpted sweetness from sullen flesh, that traced breast and ignited hips, opening, kneading. Flesh becomes bread in the heat of those hands, braided and rising.

• Anyway, now she thinks of Estha and Rahel as Them, because, separately, the two of them are no longer what They were or ever thought They would be. Ever. Their lives have a size and a shape now. Estha has his and Rahel hers. Edges, Borders, Boundaries, Brinks and Limits have appeared like a team of trolls on their separate horizons. Short creatures with long shadows, patrolling the Blurry End. Gentle half-moons have gathered under their eyes and they are as old as Ammu was when she died.

• The first step to change,... is accepting your reality right now. Honoring your process. Compassionate self-awareness leads to change; harsh self-criticism only holds the pattern in place, creating a stubborn and defensive Basic Self. Be gentle with yourself as you would with a child. Be gentle but firm. Give yourself the space to grow. But remember that the timing is in god's hands, not yours. page~147

• Sin duda es verdad que hay más regocijo en el cielo por un pecador arrepentido que por todos los santos que consistentemente permanecen santos, y las gentilezas raras y repentinas de la gente arrogante tienen infinitamente más efecto que la gentileza continua de la gente gentil. La arrogancia convertida en dulzura derrite el corazón.

• ¿Era entonces el amor como una bolsa de caramelos variados que se reparten y de los que se puede elegir más de una vez? Algunos picaban la lengua, otros invocaban el perfume de la noche. Algunos tenían centros tan amargos como la hiel, otros mezclaban miel y veneno, otros se tragaban rápidamente. Y entre las comunes de ojo de buey y menta unas pocas raras; una o dos con agujas mortales en el corazón, otra que traía almeja y suave placer. ¿Se le cerraban los dedos con ésa?

• Eres tan amable, Kazuhiko. Eso es lo que me gusta de ti". Tú también me gustas. Te quiero mucho." Si no fuera tan inarticulado, Kazuhiko podría haber dicho mucho más. Cuánto significaba para él su expresión, su dulzura, su alma pura e inmaculada. En resumen, lo importante que era su existencia para él. Pero no era capaz de expresarlo con palabras. Sólo era un estudiante de tercero de secundaria y, lo que era peor, composición era una de sus peores asignaturas.

• A medida que nos enfrentamos a nuestro propio egoísmo y estupidez, nos hacemos amigos del impostor y aceptamos que estamos empobrecidos y rotos y nos damos cuenta de que, si no lo estuviéramos, seríamos Dios. El arte de la mansedumbre con nosotros mismos nos lleva a ser mansos con los demás, y es un requisito natural para nuestra presencia ante Dios en la oración.

• Through an arrow loop in the wall she saw a familiar horse and rider tearing across the camp toward the healing rooms. Brigan pulled up at Nash's feet and dropped from the saddle. The two brothers threw their arms around each other and embraced hard. Shortly thereafter he stepped into the healing rooms and leaned in the doorway, looking across at her quietly. Brocker's son with the gentle gray eyes. She abandoned all pretense of decorum and ran at him.

• For some nights I slept profoundly; but still every morning I felt the same lassitude, and a languor weighed upon me all day. I felt myself a changed girl. A strange melancholy was stealing over me, a melancholy that I would not have interrupted. Dim thoughts of death began to open, and an idea that I was slowly sinking took gentle, and, somehow, not unwelcome possession of me. If it was sad, the tone of mind which this induced was also sweet. Whatever it might be, my soul acquiesced in it.
