• Hijo mío, sé digno de tu noble nombre, dignamente llevado por tus antepasados desde hace más de quinientos años. Recuerda que es con valor, y sólo con valor, como un noble se abre camino hoy en día. No temas las oportunidades y busca aventuras. Hijo mío, todo lo que tengo para darte son quince ecus, mi caballo y el consejo que acabas de escuchar. Aprovecha estos regalos y ten una vida larga y feliz.

  Alejandro Dumas

• Apaga mis ojos, seguiré viéndote. Sella mis oídos, seguiré oyéndote. Y sin pies puedo llegar hasta ti, sin boca puedo jurar tu nombre. Rompe mis brazos, te agarraré con mi corazón como con una mano. Detén mi corazón, y mi cerebro comenzará a latir. Y si consumes mi cerebro con fuego, te sentiré arder en cada gota de mi sangre.

  Rainer Maria Rilke

• But the last one: the baby who trails her scent like a flag of surrender through your life when there will be no more coming after - oh, that's love by a different name. She is the babe you hold in your arms for an hour after she's gone to sleep. If you put her down in the crib, she might wake up changed and fly away. So instead you rock my the window, drinking the light from her skin, breathing her exhaled dreams. Your heart bays to the double crescent moons of closed lashes on her cheeks. She's the one you can't put down.

• We spoke about our dreams and how we always felt safe in them, no matter how bad everthing else seemed. He told me it was one of the best days of his life and then he took out his gun. A .22 rifle. And he leaned forward and whispered, "Forgive me, Taylor Markham." Before I could ask how he knew my name and what I was to forgive him for he said, "Take care of my little girl." And then he told me to close my eyes. And I've been frightened to do just that ever since.

• Llamarlo un simple enamoramiento de colegiala era como decir que un Rolls-Royce era un vehículo con cuatro ruedas, algo así como un carro de heno. No se reía salvajemente ni se sonrojaba cuando lo veía, ni marcaba su nombre con tiza en los árboles ni lo escribía en las paredes del Puente de los Besos. Simplemente vivía con su rostro en el corazón todo el tiempo, una especie de dolor dulce e hiriente. Habría muerto por él.

• Did you like question ten, Moony?" asked Sirius as they emerged into the entrance hall. "Loved it," said Lupin briskly. "Give five signs that identify the werewolf. Excellent question." "D'you think you managed to get all the signs?" said James in tones of mock concern. "Think I did," said Lupin seriously, as they joined the crowd thronging around the front doors eager to get out into the sunlit grounds. "One: He's sitting on my chair. Two: He's wearing my clothes. Three: His name's Remus Lupin.

• I walked down my snow covered street. Out of habit I turned and checked for my footsteps. When I arrived at my building I looked for my name on the buzzers. And because I know that sometimes I see things that aren't there, after dinner I called Information to ask if I was listed.(25)

• Things separate from their stories have no meaning. They are only shapes. Of a certain size and color. A certain weight. When their meaning has become lost to us they no longer have even a name. The story on the other hand can never be lost from its place in the world for it is that place.

• ¡Querido nombre fatal! Descansa siempre sin revelar, Ni pases estos labios en santo silencio sellado. Escóndelo, corazón mío, dentro de ese estrecho disfraz, donde, mezclada con los dioses, yace su idea amada: No lo escribas, mano mía, el nombre aparece ya escrito, lávalo, lágrimas mías. En vano la perdida Eloísa llora y reza, Su corazón aún dicta, y su mano obedece.

• ¿Era la señora Wilcox una de esas personas insatisfactorias -hay muchas- que nos ofrecen intimidad y luego nos la retiran? Evocan nuestros intereses y afectos, y mantienen la vida del espíritu entretenida a su alrededor. Luego se retiran. Cuando hay pasión física de por medio, ese comportamiento recibe un nombre concreto: flirteo. Pero ninguna ley -ni siquiera la opinión pública- castiga a los que coquetean con la amistad, aunque el dolor sordo que infligen, la sensación de esfuerzo y agotamiento mal dirigidos, pueden ser tan intolerables. ¿Era ella una de ellas?

• The world does not consist of 100 percent Christians and 100 percent non-Christians. There are people (a great many of them) who are slowly ceasing to be Christians but who still call themselves by that name: some of them are clergymen. There are other people who are slowly becoming Christians though they do not yet call themselves so.

• Murtagh tenía razón sobre las mujeres. Sassenach, arriesgué mi vida por ti, cometiendo robo, incendio, asalto y asesinato en el trato. A cambio de lo cual me insultas, insultas mi hombría, me pateas en las nalgas y me arañas la cara. Luego os pego hasta casi mataros y os cuento las cosas más humillantes que me han pasado, y decís que me queréis". Apoyó la cabeza en las rodillas y se rió un poco más. Finalmente se levantó y me tendió una mano, enjugándose los ojos con la otra. "No eres muy sensato, Sassenach, pero me caes bien. Vámonos.
