• El fracaso de la Reforma en conquistar Francia no había dejado a los franceses ningún punto intermedio entre la infalibilidad y la infidelidad; y mientras el intelecto de Alemania e Inglaterra se movía tranquilamente en las líneas de la evolución religiosa, la mente de Francia saltaba de la fe ardiente que había masacrado a los hugonotes a la fría hostilidad con la que La Mettrie, Helvetius, Holbach y Diderot se volvieron contra la religión de los padres.

• No cabe duda de que incluso los mayores genios de la música han trabajado a veces sin inspiración. Este invitado (la inspiración) no siempre responde a la primera invitación. Siempre hay que trabajar, y un artista que se precie no debe cruzarse de brazos con el pretexto de que no tiene ganas. Si esperamos a que llegue la inspiración, sin esforzarnos por alcanzarla, nos volvemos fácilmente indolentes y apáticos. Debemos ser pacientes y creer que la inspiración llegará a aquellos que sepan dominar su desgana.

  Piotr Ilich Chaikovski

• Tessa was only half way down the corridor when they caught up to her -Will and Jem, walking on either side of her. "you didn't really think we weren't going to come along, did you?" Will asked, raising his hand and letting his witchlight fare up between his fingers, lighting the corridor to daylight brightness. Charlotte, hurrying along ahead of them, turned and frowned, but said nothing. "I know you can't leave anything well alone," Tessa replied, looking straight ahead. "But I though better of Jem." "Where Will goes, I go," Jem said good-naturedly. "And besides, I'm as curious as he is.

• To my way of thinking, whether it's a superhero movie or a romance or a comedy or whatever, the most important thing is you've got to care about the characters. You've got to understand the characters and you've got to be interested. If the characters are interesting, you're half-way home.

• But if I were asked to pick one constant, one quality that seems dependable, immutable, endlessly available, I'd say that it was intensity. For nothing in Sicily seems withheld, done half way, restrained or suppressed. There's nothing to correspond to say, the ironic, the cerebral remove at which a Frenchman might consider an idea or a question, or the Scandinavian distrust of the sloppy, emotive response.

• I don't feel very good about myself. People always leave me. Nobody can stand me for very long. I wish I could cut my tongue out, or take out the part of my brain that has opinions. Or cares. I wish I could be simple. Be quiet, introverted, or shy. I'm half way in between a wallflower at a party and Elvis Presley. People love one or the other. In between is no place to be.

• Cuando digo compromiso no quiero decir capitulación. Cuando digo compromiso, definitivamente no me refiero a lo que Jesucristo quiso decir cuando nos ofreció poner la otra mejilla ante nuestros enemigos. Compromiso significa intentar encontrar al otro a mitad de camino. Y esto sólo puede suceder si el otro está dispuesto a recorrer la mitad del camino para encontrarse contigo. Esa es la estricta línea que separa el compromiso de la capitulación.

  Amos Oz
