• La línea que separa el fracaso del éxito es tan fina que a menudo nos encontramos en ella sin saberlo. Cuántas personas han tirado la toalla en un momento en que un poco más de esfuerzo, un poco más de paciencia, habrían alcanzado el éxito. Un poco más de persistencia, un poco más de esfuerzo, y lo que parecía un fracaso irremediable puede convertirse en un éxito glorioso.

  Elbert Hubbard

• Man is never honestly the fatalist, nor even the stoic. He fights his fate, often desperately. He is forever entering bold exceptions to the rulings of the bench of gods. This fighting, no doubt, makes for human progress, for it favors the strong and the brave. It also makes for beauty, for lesser men try to escape from a hopeless and intolerable world by creating a more lovely one of their own.

• La falta crónica de placer, de cualquier experiencia agradable, gratificante o estimulante, produce una erosión lenta, gradual y diaria de la vitalidad emocional del hombre, que éste puede ignorar o reprimir, pero que es registrada por el implacable ordenador de su mecanismo subconsciente que registra un flujo menguante, luego un goteo, luego unas últimas gotas de combustible... hasta el día en que su motor interior se detiene y se pregunta desesperadamente por qué no tiene ganas de seguir adelante, incapaz de encontrar ninguna causa definible de su desesperanzada y crónica sensación de agotamiento.

• Humanity must never lose hope. Our present conflicts and differences are difficult but not hopeless. We cannot expect people of such different races, cultures, languages, ways of life and beliefs, who have lived for thousands of years separated from each other to suddenly love each other and work together harmoniously. It takes time and patience. We must work on it stubbornly and not throw in the towel.

• The hopeless hope is one of the early harbingers of spring, bespeaking an innocent belief that the world might right its wrongs and reverse its curses simply because the trees are coming into leaf.

• Me siento animado cuando veo a algunos de los que han escuchado su "tambor diferente": Einstein era un inútil en matemáticas en la escuela y comentaba con ironía su ineptitud en las relaciones humanas. Winston Churchill fue un fracaso abismal en sus primeros años escolares. Byron, ese estudiante revolucionario, tuvo que compensar un pie zambo; Demóstenes, un tartamudeo; y Homero era ciego. Socrates no supo manejar a su mujer, y enfureció a sus compatriotas. ¿Y qué decir de Jesús, si necesitamos un ejemplo supremo de fracaso con los semejantes? ¿O un ejemplo supremo de amor?

• Sometimes, in the course of my hopeless quest, I would pick up and dip into one of the ordinary books that lay strewn around the castle. Whenever I did, it seemed so insipid and insubstantial that I flew into a rage and hurled it at the wall after reading the first few sentences. I was spoilt for any other form of literature, and the mental torment I endured was comparable to the agony of unrequited love compounded by the withdrawal symptoms associated with a severe addiction.

• A woman's whole life is a history of the affections. The heart is her world: it is there her ambition strives for empire; it is there her avarice seeks for hidden treasures. She sends forth
  her sympathies on adventure; she embarks her whole soul on the traffic of affection; and if shipwrecked, her case is hopeless — for it is a bankruptcy of the heart.
