• I'm never going to be a modern gal. I love colonial. I love early American. I love a big rectangular piece of brown furniture on a hardwood floor.

• The planting of a tree, especially one of the long-living hardwood trees, is a gift which you can make to posterity at almost no cost and with almost no trouble, and if the tree takes root it will far outlive the visible effect of any of your other actions, good or evil.

• Por lo que podía ver, la madera dura estaba muy bien. Pero también veía un molino de viento y el cielo abierto, y nunca sentí la necesidad de conquistarlos. Uno cree que el mundo es obvio y sencillo. Pero, en realidad, todo depende de quién mire.

• So the Midwest nourishes us [...] and presents us with the spectacle of a land and a people completed and certain. And so we run to our bedrooms and read in a fever, and love the big hardwood trees outside the windows, and the terrible Midwest summers, and the terrible Midwest winters [...]. And so we leave it sorrowfully, having grown strong and restless by opposing with all our will and mind and muscle its simple, loving, single will for us: that we stay, that we stay and find a place among its familiar possibilities. Mother knew we would go; she encouraged us.

  Annie Dillard

• We don't even know what species are out there, for the most part, particularly when you get down to the microbes and very small invertebrates. They make up the mass of the organisms around us, including the soil we depend on, the soil of cornfields as well as hardwood forests. We haven't taken ecology to the point where we can even make a crude prediction of what's going to happen when we've reduced the living world down to a certain level.

• When you eat, I want you to think of God, of the holiness of hands that feed us, of the provision we are given every time we eat. When you eat bread and you drink wine, I want you to think about the body and the blood every time, not just when the bread and wine show up in church, but when they show up anywhere- on a picnic table or a hardwood floor or a beach.

• That's the trouble with the world we live in. It's full of people just doing their job and ignoring what's really going on. Care about the rainforest until they get a couple of kids and enough money for a gas guzzling car, or some hardwood dining furniture. Watch all those wildlife programmes and coo over the furry animals, but still eat meat and poultry that was raised in conditions of unbelievable cruelty.

• As far as our noblest hardwood forests are concerned, the animals, especially squirrels and jays, are our greatest and almost only benefactors. It is to them that we owe this gift. It is not in vain that the squirrels live in or about every forest tree, or hollow log, and every wall and heap of stones.

• ¿Cómo se puede acortar el tema? Esa severa lucha con la tabla de multiplicar, para muchos aún no terminada en victoria, ¿cómo hacerla menos? Raíz cuadrada, tan obcecada como un tocón de madera dura en un pastizal, nada, salvo años de esfuerzo, puede extraerla. No se puede apresurar el proceso. Ni pasar de la aritmética al álgebra; no puedes abrirte paso a hombros entre ecuaciones cuadráticas ni ondular el teorema del binomio. Más bien, al revés; tus pies se ven obstaculizados en el enmarañado crecimiento, tu ritmo afloja, te hundes y caes en algún lugar cerca del teorema del binomio con el cálculo a la vista en el horizonte.

  Stephen Leacock

• Some make their worlds without knowing it. Their universes are just sesame seeds and three-day weekends and dial tones and skinned knees and physics and driftwood and emerald earrings and books dropped in bathtubs and holes in guitars and plastic and empathy and hardwood and heavy water and high black stockings and the history of the Vikings and brass and obsolescence and burnt hair and collapsed souffles and the impossibility of not falling in love in an art museum with the person standing next to you looking at the same painting and all the other things that just happen and are.

• When I want to kick it up, I like to add hardwood chips or chunks to the grill; it adds bold smoky flavors. The most common woods are hickory and mesquite, but you can find alder, apple, cherry and, my personal favorite, pecan.

• Tom [Courtenay] y Albert Finney conocieron a Ron Harwood en el tocador, así empezó todo. Es un documental maravilloso. Se titula El beso de Tosca y el Sr. Hardwood me habló de él cuando le pregunté cuál había sido su génesis. Se hizo en 1983 y Verdi, que era rico y tenía éxito, hacia el final de su vida decidió construirse una mansión en Milán, donde vivía, y estipuló que cuando muriera los cantantes y músicos de ópera -porque conocía a muchos que ya no tocaban en la Scala y algunos eran pobres- podrían vivir allí.
