• Taking the line of least resistance, we lump the most different people together under the same heading. Taking the line of least resistance, we ascribe to them collective crimes, collective acts and opinions. "The Serbs have massacred…", "The English have devastated…", "The Jews have confiscated…", "The Blacks have torched", "The Arabs refuse…". We blithely express sweeping judgments on whole peoples, calling them "hardworking" and "ingenious", or "lazy", "touchy", "sly", "proud", or "obstinate". And sometimes this ends in bloodshed." – Amin Maalouf "On Identity

• Uno de los mejores mecanismos de afrontamiento de la vida es saber distinguir entre un inconveniente y un problema. Si te rompes el cuello, si no tienes qué comer, si se incendia tu casa, entonces tienes un problema. Todo lo demás es un inconveniente. La vida es un inconveniente. La vida es grumosa. Un nudo en la avena, un nudo en la garganta y un nudo en el pecho no son el mismo tipo de nudo. Hay que aprender la diferencia.

• Jesús perdió toda su gloria para que nosotros pudiéramos revestirnos de ella. Él fue excluido para que nosotros pudiéramos tener acceso. Fue atado, clavado, para que pudiéramos ser libres. Fue expulsado para que pudiéramos acercarnos. Y Jesús se llevó el único tipo de sufrimiento que realmente puede destruirte: el ser expulsado de Dios. Se lo llevó para que ahora todo sufrimiento que llegue a tu vida sólo te engrandezca. Un trozo de carbón bajo presión se convierte en un diamante. Y el sufrimiento de una persona en Cristo sólo te convierte en alguien magnífico.

• These things - the degree of vulnerability, the degree of skill, the degree of the longing to give - are influx all the time, And to lump all that under the word "creativity" assumes something much more static than it is. That's why an artist may be marvelous in her 20s, and be creating automatic crap in her 40s. A writer may be trivial in his 20s, and be writing incredibly in his 50s, because those things are always in flux.

• When I received the Nobel Prize, the only big lump sum of money I have ever seen, I had to do something with it. The easiest way to drop this hot potato was to invest it, to buy shares. I knew that World War II was coming and I was afraid that if I had shares which rise in case of war, I would wish for war. So I asked my agent to buy shares which go down in the event of war. This he did. I lost my money and saved my soul.

• At first he thought he felt bad because he was afraid of leading an army, but it wasn't true. He knew he'd make a good commander. He felt himself wanting to cry. He hadn't cried since the first few days of homesickness after he got here. He tried to put a name on the feeling that put a lump in his throat and made him sob silently, however much he tried to hold it down. He bit down on his hand to stop the feeling, to replace it with pain. It didn't help.
