• Hoy he caminado por las colinas color de león con la única compañía de los cipreses, hasta que la puesta de sol me ha atrapado, ha convertido la maleza en cobre y las nubes en un gran techo de llamas sobre la tierra, de modo que camino a través del fuego, bajo el fuego, y todo en belleza. Estando solo no podía estar solo, sino que sentía (más cerca que la carne) la presencia de aquellos que una vez habían ardido en tales transfiguraciones. Mi felicidad recorrió los siglos en un continuo resplandor. Mirando hacia abajo, vi la tierra bajo mí como una rosa en pétalos de montañas, fragante de profunda paz.

• Gazing around, looking up at the lofty pinnacles above, which seemed to pierce the sky, looking down upon the world,-\-\it seemed the whole world, so limitless it stretched away at her feet,-\-\feeling that infinite unspeakable sense of nearness to Heaven, remoteness from earth which comes only on mountain heights, she drew in a long breath of delight, and cried: "At last! at last, Alessandro! Here we are safe! This is freedom! This is joy!

• I knew that Vaclav Havel didn't want to look into people's eyes, because he said that, when he was being interrogated during the communist period and had been taken to jail, that, if you look directly into somebody's eyes, they can persuade you. And so you can see that so clearly in this interview, where he's looking down.And I kept saying to him as we kept coming - came over here: " You have to look up."And I clearly had no influence on him.

• Los verdaderos cristianos son los verdaderos ciudadanos, elevados de propósito, resueltos en el empeño, listos para las hazañas de un héroe, pero sin menospreciar nunca su tarea porque sea arrojada en el día de las pequeñeces; desdeñosos de la bajeza, despiertos a sus propios deberes así como a sus derechos, siguiendo la ley superior con reverencia, y en este mundo haciendo todo lo que esté a su alcance, para que cuando llegue la muerte puedan sentir que la humanidad es en algún grado mejor porque ellos vivieron.

• The moon is looking down into the canyon, and how marvelously the great rocks kindle to her light! Every dome, and brow, and swelling boss touched by her white rays, glows as if lighted with snow.

• I love riding on a bus now because you're looking down on the world from not too high of an angle, but people on the street rarely look up into the bus. They're sort of oblivious to this big giant machine, you know, passing by. So there's something very beautiful about the angle that you look at the world through.

• He that can toy with his ministry and count it to be like a trade, or like any other profession, was never called of God. But he that has a charge pressing on his heart, and a woe ringing in his ear, and preaches as though he heard the cried of hell behind him, and saw his God looking down on him-oh, how that man entreats the Lord that his hearers may not hear in vain!

• After what seemed like an eternity, we finally reached the summit just as the sun was rising. I couldn't believe that we had actually done it. We were standing at the highest point in all of Africa, looking down at the clouds below us, with the sun directly in front of us, its rays welcoming us to the beginning of a new day. It didn't seem like this was something that humans were meant to experience, yet here we were

• Puedes elevarte en el aire y todo desaparece. Ya sabes, no piensas en el béisbol. No piensas en nada. Es algo que te aleja de la vida cotidiana. Me encanta estar en un avión y mirar hacia abajo para ver el tráfico en la autopista.

• Individuals and societies are not helpless victims of heredity. We have the power to change - not by looking "down" to nature but "up" to God, who consistently calls us forward to become the people we were designed to be. A confused world urgently needs a model of what that looks like. If Christians fail to provide that model, who will?

• Ni por un momento cometas el error de despreciar los westerns. Son arte, me refiero a los buenos. Tratan de la vida, de la muerte súbita, de la lucha primitiva y de las emociones básicas: amor, odio e ira. Tendremos películas del Oeste mientras las cámaras sigan girando. La fascinación que ejerce el Viejo Oeste nunca morirá. Y mientras la gente quiera pagar para verme actuar, seguiré haciendo westerns hasta el día de mi muerte.

  John Wayne

• Is that why you came?' 'No, I came because I simply can't get enough of people looking down their noses at me. The girls at school are getting frightfully lax about it.' 'Are they? How remiss of them. We're taught from the cradle how to look down our noses, you know, we rich sons of bitches. Perhaps Westcliffe's curriculum is a tad too liberal these days.
