• Quien siente dolor al oír el buen carácter de su prójimo, sentirá placer al contrario. Y los que desesperan de elevarse en distinción por sus virtudes, son felices si los demás pueden deprimirse a un nivel de sí mismos.

  Benjamin Franklin

  Dolor, Carácter, Desesperación

• Similarly, many a young man, hearing for the first time of the refraction of stellar light, has thought that doubt was cast on the whole of astronomy, whereas nothing is required but an easily effected and unimportant correction to put everything right again.

• We grow up hearing so often that a straight line is the shortest distance between two points that we end up thinking it is also the best way to get there. A river knows better-:it has to do with how it dissipates the energy of its flow most efficiently; and how, in its bends, the sediment deposited soon turns into marshes and swampy islands, harboring all manner of interesting life, imparting charm and character to the whole waterway. I would defy you to find a river on this planet that prefers to run straight, unless it has been taught so by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

• Thus far we have considered the problem of conservation of land purely as an economic issue. A false front of exclusively economic determinism is so habitual to Americans in discussing public questions that one must speak in the language of compound interest to get a hearing.

• I get so sick and tired of hearing people gripe about what their parents did to them. You know what your parents did to you? The best thing they could do. The best thing they knew how, the only thing in many cases that they knew how. Nobody has set out maliciously to hurt their child, unless they were psychotic.

• Goethe died in 1832. As you know, Goethe was very active in science. In fact, he did some very good scientific work in plant morphology and mineralogy. But he was quite bitter at the way in which many scientists refused to grant him a hearing because he was a poet and therefore, they felt, he couldn't be serious.

• Todas las personas son especiales y todos los momentos son dorados. No hay persona ni momento más especial que otro. Mucha gente opta por creer que Dios se comunica de maneras especiales y sólo con personas especiales. Esto elimina a la masa de la gente de la responsabilidad de escuchar el mensaje de Dios, y mucho menos de recibirlo (que es otra cuestión), y les permite tomar la palabra de otra persona para todo.

• The senses are a kind of reason. Taste, touch and smell, hearing and seeing, are not merely a means to sensation, enjoyable or otherwise, but they are also a means to knowledge - and are, indeed, your only actual means to knowledge.

• Echa un vistazo a tu propio corazón, y pronto descubrirás lo que se ha pegado a él y dónde está tu tesoro. Es fácil determinar si oír la Palabra de Dios, vivir de acuerdo con ella y lograr una vida así te da tanto placer y exige de ti tanta diligencia como acumular y ahorrar dinero y propiedades.

• To the newcomer to the south, hearing that a coworker plans a weekend visit to 'mama and them's' (the correct plural possessive, don'tchaknow), might make him think that mama has been left alone either throught an act of scoundreldom involving the town's resident hoochie-mama (an altogether different kind of mama) or Daddy's untimely demise.

• I gained everything. Or at least I'll think so," he growled, suddenly impatient, anxious, "when you give me a bloody answer to my bloody question. How many times are you going to make me ask you? Will you marry me, Gabrielle O'Callaghan? Yes or yes? And in case you're still managing to miss the point, the correct answer is 'yes.' And, by the way, anytime you'd like to tell me you love me, I wouldn't mind hearing it.

• And why should any man who writes, even if he writes things immortal, nurse anger at the world's neglect? Who asked him to publish? Who promised him a hearing? Who has broken faith with him? Your poem, your novel, who bargained with you for it?

• The gospel does not prompt you to mere reflection; the gospel requires a response. In the process of hearing Jesus, you are compelled to take an honest look at your life, your family, and your church and not just ask, 'What is he saying?' but also ask, 'What shall I do?'

• En invierno, [la Antártida] es quizá el lugar más lúgubre. Nuestra base, Little America, estaba en un tazón de hielo, cerca del borde de la barrera de hielo de Ross. La temperatura bajó hasta 72 grados bajo cero. Se podía oír cómo se congelaba la respiración.

• I'm interested in the way that the language of labor has been suppressed in our culture, the way it has disappeared from our vocabulary and is never heard on stage. . . . I'm better at writing than I am at organizing [political action]. SLAUGHTER CITY is my small contribution. If it gives people a voice it is worth something. So often we forget what we are no longer hearing.

• Antes de nuestro devenir aquí, existíamos Allá, hombres distintos de ahora; éramos almas puras. Inteligencia unida a toda la realidad, no cercada, integrante de ese Todo. [...] Entonces fue como si sonara Una voz. Una palabra fue pronunciada y de cada lado un oído atendió y recibió y hubo una audición efectiva; ahora nos hemos convertido en una cosa dual, ya no somos lo que éramos al principio, latentes, y en cierto sentido ya no estamos presentes.
