• Lamentar el cambio de los placeres terrenales por las alegrías del Cielo, es como si la oruga rastrera lamentara tener que dejar un día la hoja mordisqueada para elevarse y revolotear por el aire, vagando a voluntad de flor en flor, sorbiendo la dulce miel de sus copas, o tomando el sol en sus pétalos soleados.

  Anne Bronte

  Dulce, Miedo, Arrepentimiento

  "El inquilino de Wildfell Hall". Cap. XLV : Reconciliación; Helen a Gilbert. Libro de Anne Bronte, 1848.

• By accepting a suspicion against the neighbor, by saying, 'What does it matter if I put in a word about my suspicion? What does it matter if I find out what my brother is saying or what a guest is doing?' the mind begins to forget about its own sins and to talk idly about his neighbor, speaking evil against him, despising him, and from this he falls into the very thing he condemns. Because we become careless about our own faults and do not lament our own death, we lose the power to correct ourselves and we are always at work on our neighbor.

• El yiddish, la lengua que siempre será testigo de la violencia y los asesinatos que se nos infligieron, que llevará las marcas de nuestras expulsiones de tierra en tierra, la lengua que absorbió los lamentos de los padres, los lamentos de las generaciones, el veneno y la amargura de la historia, la lengua cuyas preciosas joyas son las lágrimas judías no secas ni congeladas.

• En mi opinión, la locura es un lugar. Vas. Vuelves. Y creo que todos nos turnamos para ser el enfermo mental. Sin un toque de locura, la literatura puede ser un lugar desolador. En el clima actual de discurso cuidadoso, incluso temeroso, guiones de cine sin humo, canciones sin pensamientos y candados a prueba de niños en las mentes estadounidenses, el lamento de las artes que se repite a menudo es: "¿Dónde se han ido todos esos locos maravillosos?".

• The world is broken, and all our attempts to fix it will inevitably fail, and some day all life will be extinguished from the planet and there will be no one to remember that any of us ever did anything. But this fact, strangely, does not delegitimize hope, because every now and again we find evidence that hope is helpful. This evidence, in my opinion, should be celebrated-even as we lament and fight the devastation.

• John Berger once defined music by saying that it began as a howl, became a prayer, then a lament, and still contains the elements of all three. I think that's pretty wise. That's about the only way I know how to explain what music is.

• Antes de publicar nada, me juntaba con gente a la que le gustaba escribir. Ninguno de nosotros había publicado, así que no se hablaba del negocio, y probablemente entonces había mucha más charla angustiosa. Hoy en día quizá haya más lamentos sobre la cultura, pero yo diría que no.

• I have found life an enjoyable, enchanting, active, and sometime terrifying experience, and I've enjoyed it completely. A lament in one ear, maybe, but always a song in the other.

• To object that the facts about human nature set limits on our ability to change the world and ourselves makes about as much sense as the lament that our lack of wings sets limits on our ability to 'fly' as far as eagles under our own power.

• If you cannot always elicit a straight answer from the unconscious brain, how can you access its knowledge? Sometimes the trick is merely to probe what your gut is telling you. So the next time a friend laments that she cannot decide between two options, tell her the easiest way to solve her problem: flip a coin. She should specify which option belongs to heads and which to tails, and then let the coin fly. The important part is to assess her gut feeling after the coin lands. If she feels a subtle sense of relief at being "told" what to do by the coin, that's the right choice for her.

• A man in trouble laments that he did not listen to his teachers, and thus he finds himself in a sad state, utter ruin. A candid admission of a blunder is refreshing and not often heard in human affairs. It is the saint alone who is large-minded enough to think and speak in this way. This is part of his authenticity.The person who is swift to hear and slow to respond is a stranger to an all-knowing illuminism. He believes that others, too, have some truth, and he is willing to be instructed by them. He is ready for the mind of God.
