• Another thing that escapes me is HOW to give substance to the forms. One day they look solid and 'real' and they seem to hinge upon each other and splinter and creak, fall with a thud to the bottom of the canvas and drag across the surface, and the next day they are like dust, all lightweight and just stuck there.

• Creo que una hoja de hierba no es menos que la obra de las estrellas, y el pismire es igualmente perfecto, y un grano de arena, y el huevo del chochín, y el sapo arbóreo es un chef-d'oeurve para los más altos, y la mora corriendo adornaría los salones del cielo, y la bisagra más estrecha en mi mano desprecia toda maquinaria, y la vaca crujiendo con la cabeza deprimida supera a cualquier estatua, y un ratón es milagro suficiente para hacer tambalearse a sextillones de infieles.

• Uno de los mayores pecados de cualquier historia es el falso suspense. El tipo de "suspense" que se desintegra en el momento en que le das a tu lector un segundo para pensar en ello. Y es una trampa en la que es fácil caer, así que ten cuidado con ella. Si tu historia gira en torno a la pregunta: "¿Llegarán tan lejos los esfuerzos de Superman en su batalla contra Lex Luthor que tendrá que matarlo?", o si tu gran momento cliffhanger es: "Vaya, ¿esta vez Spiderman está muerto de verdad?", entonces entiendo que Food Lion esté contratando.

• Rational behavior ... depends upon a ceaseless flow of data from the environment. It depends upon the power of the individual to predict, with at least a fair success, the outcome of his own actions. To do this, he must be able to predict how the environment will respond to his acts. Sanity, itself, thus hinges on man's ability to predict his immediate, personal future on the basis of information fed him by the environment.

• Though business conditions may change, corporations and securities may change, and financial institutions and regulations may change, human nature remains the same.

• Cuando los hombres se dedican a la guerra y a la conquista, las herramientas de la ciencia se vuelven tan peligrosas como una navaja en manos de un niño de tres años. No debemos condenar al hombre porque su inventiva y su paciente conquista de las fuerzas de la naturaleza estén siendo explotadas con fines falsos y destructivos. Más bien, debemos recordar que el destino de la humanidad depende enteramente del desarrollo moral del hombre.

• As part of our ongoing series of reports on the environment, 'America Goes Green,' we take on the question that can make otherwise competent adults quake with fear. We've all been there. You come to the end of the checkout line and then comes that question: 'Paper or plastic?' For that one brief moment, we grocery buyers are made to feel like the fate of the planet hinges on our decision.

• That's your doing. Now in order to affect that doing I am going to recommend that you learn another doing... It may hook you to another doing and then you may realize that both doings are lies, unreal, and that to hinge yourself to either one is a waste of time, because the only thing that is real is the being in you that is going to die. To arrive at that being is the note-doing of the self

• Every year, I might almost say every day, that I live, I seem to see more clearly how all the rest and gladness and power of our Christian life hinges on one thing; and that is, taking God at His word, believing that He really means exactly what He says, and accepting the very words in which He reveals His goodness and grace, without substituting others or altering the precise modes and tenses which He has seen fit to use.

• For the man who makes everything that leads to happiness, or near to it, to depend upon himself, and not upon other men, on whose good or evil actions his own doings are compelled to hinge,--such a one, I say, has adopted the very best plan for living happily. This is the man of moderation; this is the man of manly character and of wisdom.
