• ¡Oh tú que eres capaz de escribir un Libro, cosa que una vez cada dos siglos o más hay un hombre dotado para hacer, no envidies a aquel a quien llaman Constructor de Ciudades, y compadece inexpresablemente a aquel a quien llaman Conquistador o Quemador de Ciudades! Tú también eres un Conquistador y un Vencedor; pero del verdadero tipo, es decir, sobre el Diablo: tú también has construido lo que sobrevivirá a todo el mármol y el metal, y será una maravillosa Ciudad de la Mente, un Templo y Seminario y Monte Profético, al que peregrinarán todos los pueblos de la Tierra.

• Una brizna de hierba cree que los hombres construyen palacios para que ella crezca. La hierba se cuela entre los bloques de mármol más cercanos y los derriba. Este poder de la vida débil que puede colarse por cualquier sitio es mayor que el de los poderosos tras sus cañones.

• Underneath my stiffened gown Is the softness of a woman bathing in a marble basin, A basin in the midst of hedges grown So thick, she cannot see her lover hiding, But she guesses he is near, And the sliding of the water Seems the stroking of a dear Hand upon her.

• If there is a true measure of a person's soul, if there is a single gauge of real divinity, of how beautifully a fellow human honors this life, has genuine spiritual fire and is full of honest love and compassion, it has to be right there, in the eyes. The Dalai Lama's eyes sparkle and dance with laughter and unbridled love. The Pope's eyes are dark and glazed, bleak as obsidian marbles. Pat Robertson's eyes are rheumy and hollow, like tiny potholes of old wax. Goldman Sachs cretins, well, they don't use their own eyes at all; they just steal someone else's.

• Niches set back in the walls contained polished marble statues of entwined bodies. Will looked away from them hastily, and then back. It wasn't as if Magnus seemed to be paying attention to what Will was doing, and he'd honestly never imagined two people could get themselves into a position like that, much less make it look artistic.

• I'm interested in the sculptural experience, glass, marble, colored bricks, stones, wood. There's no stadium out there that approximates it [the Marlins'] because it will be so white and with primary colors all around. It sort of looks like a spaceship that just landed, something different, something people can call their own.

• El problema es que no puedes contarle estas cosas a la gente. Pensarán que estás loco. Y me digo a mí mismo: ¿Qué puedo hacer con esta vida que llevo dentro?

Hay que jugar a ser piratas ... construir ciudades de mármol ... reír ... tirar petardos

• La discusión sobre el juego de las canicas parece habernos llevado a aguas bastante profundas. Pero a los ojos de los niños la historia del juego de las canicas tiene tanta importancia como la historia de la religión o de las formas de gobierno. Es una historia, además, magníficamente espontánea; y, por lo tanto, quizá no fuera del todo inútil tratar de arrojar luz sobre el juicio de valor moral del niño mediante un estudio preliminar del comportamiento social de los niños entre sí.

• Self-confidence without self-reliance is as useless as a cooking recipe without food. Self-confidence sees the possibilities of the individual; self-reliance realizes them. Self-confidence sees the angel in the unhewn block of marble; self-reliance carves it out for oneself.
