• My Meema, her favorite show was 'Dallas.' She made the family watch. She loved to hate J.R. She passed away when I was 12, and I know she's looking down on me going, 'Oh, my goodness. How are you on the show? I am so proud of you and why in the hell are you playing J.R.'s son?

• From where I sit, battles are hard. I’ve written my share. Sometimes I employ the private’s viewpoint, very up close and personal, dropping the reader right into the middle of the carnage. That’s vivid and visceral, but of necessity chaotic, and it is easy to lose all sense of the battle as a whole. Sometimes I go with the general’s point of view instead, looking down from on high, seeing lines and flanks and reserves. That gives a great sense of the tactics, of how the battle is won or lost, but can easily slide into abstraction.

• Sólo hay un problema: no confías en tus poderes. No hay diferencia entre tú y Dios. Cuenta tus bendiciones. Siéntete orgulloso de ti mismo. Haz que tus hijos, amigos y vecinos se sientan orgullosos de ti. Deja que tu toque sea el Toque del Maestro. Sirve a la Era de Acuario. Mantente arriba y Dios te mantendrá arriba. Confía en ello. Deja de mirarte a ti mismo. Siente a Dios en tu interior. No hay Dios fuera de ti.

• She was more than human to me. She was a Fairy, a Sylph. I don't know what she was, anything that no one ever saw, and everything that everybody ever wanted. I was swallowed up in an abyss of love in an instant. There was no pausing on the brink, no looking down, or looking back. I was gone, headlong, before I had sense to say a word to her.

• I stood looking down through the beech trees. When I threw a stone I could count to five before the splash. Then I jumped in a rush of gold to the head, through black and cold, red and cold, brown and warm, giving water the weight and size of myself in order to imagine it, water with my bones, water with my mouth and my understanding. When my body was in some way a wave to swim in, one continuous fin from head to tail, I steered through rapids like a canoe, digging my hands in, keeping just ahead of the river.

• He pasado la mayor parte de mi vida viviendo en ciudades donde la gente está obsesionada con mirar por encima del hombro a las personas de cualquier otro lugar. Te acostumbras tanto a hacerlo que empiezas a creer que es simplemente lo que hace todo el mundo. Se crea una atmósfera de desagrado que penetra en gran parte de nuestra vida moderna. En realidad, es una pena, porque un par de días en Oklahoma te abrirán los ojos sobre lo mucho mejor que sería que el resto del país estuviera lleno de un poco más de gente de Oklahoma.

• Poco piensa, en el campo, ese payaso de capa roja, en ti, desde lo alto de la colina, mirando hacia abajo; y la vaquilla, que se agacha en la granja de las tierras altas, oída de lejos, no agacha tu oído para encantar; el sacristán que toca la campana al mediodía, no sueña que el gran Napoleón Sto.

• Slavery naturally tends to destroy all sense of justice and equity. It puffs up the mind with pride: teaches youth a habit of looking down upon their fellow creatures with contempt, esteeming them as dogs or devils, and imagining themselves beings of superior dignity and importance, to whom all are indebted. This banishes the idea, and unqualifies the mind for the practice of common justice.

• When a vision begins to form everything changes, including the air around me. I seem no longer to be in the same atmosphere. I feel a peacefulness and a love that are indescribable. I stand alone, and nothing worldly can touch me. I feel that I am looking down from a higher plane and wondering why others cannot see what I am seeing.

• Muchos de mis alumnos aprenden diferentes técnicas en línea y yo he aprendido mucho utilizando este medio. El arte se está recuperando en el Caribe, pero es una pena que todavía haya gente que lo desprecie. Muchas personas que no saben lo que hacen piensan que dedicarse al arte es una pérdida de tiempo. Creo que hay que educar más al público.

• There had been a popular joke on Freedom, started by a man named Calder. Looking down from space, he had said, the dominant life forms on Earth were obviously the cereals and other grasses. They occupied all the most desirable and fertile land; and they had tamed insects and animals to care for them. In particular, they had domesticated the bipeds to nurture and cultivate them and to save and plant their seed. Now, watching the farmers, Alex could easily imagine that they were worshiping and genuflecting before their masters.
