• Las decisiones más pequeñas tenían repercusiones tan profundas. Una espera de diez minutos podía salvar una vida... O acabar con ella... Una vuelta equivocada por la calle correcta o una conversación aparentemente sin importancia, y todo cambiaba. No era justo que cada vida se definiera, arruinara, terminara y se hiciera por detalles tan aparentemente inocuos. Un acontecimiento importante que pusiera en peligro la vida debería venir acompañado de una señal de advertencia intermitente que dijera ABANDONEN TODAS LAS ESPERANZAS o PONGANSE A SALVO. La broma más cruel de todas era que nadie podía ver las curvas más cerradas hasta que se encontraba al borde del abismo.

• Charles de Foucauld, the found of the Little Brothers of Jesus, wrote a single sentence that's ahad a profound impact on my life. He said, "The one thing we owe absolutely to God is never to be afraid of anything." Never to be afraid of anything, even death, which, after all, is but that final breakthrough into the open, waiting, outstretched arms of Abba.

• The name that no human research can discover-- But THE CAT HIMSELF KNOWS, and will never confess. When you notice a cat in profound meditation, The reason, I tell you, is always the same: His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation Of the thought, of the thought, of the thought of his name: His ineffable effable Effanineffable Deep and inscrutable singular Name.

• Sonríe y los demás te devolverán la sonrisa. Sonríe para mostrar tu transparencia, tu franqueza. Sonríe si no tienes nada que decir. Sobre todo, no ocultes que no tienes nada que decir ni tu total indiferencia hacia los demás. Deja que ese vacío, esa profunda indiferencia brillen espontáneamente en tu sonrisa.

• Then I speak to her in a language she has never heard, I speak to her in Spanish, in the tongue of the long, crepuscular verses of Díaz Casanueva; in that language in which Joaquín Edwards preaches nationalism. My discourse is profound; I speak with eloquence and seduction; my words, more than from me, issue from the warm nights, from the many solitary nights on the Red Sea, and when the tiny dancer puts her arm around my neck, I understand that she understands. Magnificent language!

  Pablo Neruda

• Cecilia wondered, as she sometimes did when she met a man for the first time, if this was the one she was going to marry, and whether it was this particular moment she would remember for the rest of her life - with gratitude, or profound and particular regret.

• I probably coughed self-pityingly in response, little aware that I was about to cross a tremendous threshold beyond which there would be no return, that in my hands I held an object whose simple appearance belied its profound power. All true readers have a book, a moment, like the one I describe, and when Mum offered me that much-read library copy mine was upon me.

• Es nuestro fracaso a la hora de convertirnos en nuestro ideal percibido lo que, en última instancia, nos define y nos hace únicos. No es fácil, pero si aceptas tu infortunio y lo gestionas bien, tu fracaso percibido puede convertirse en un catalizador para una profunda reinvención.

• En dos sillas bajo el tronco del árbol y cubiertos por una rama viva estaban sentados, uno al lado del otro, Celeborn y Galadriel... Eran muy altos, y la Dama no menos que el Señor; y eran graves y hermosos. Iban completamente vestidos de blanco, y el cabello de la Dama era de oro profundo, y el del Señor Celeborn era de plata, largo y brillante; pero no había en ellos signo alguno de edad, a menos que fuera en el fondo de sus ojos, pues éstos eran agudos como lanzas a la luz de las estrellas, y sin embargo profundos, los pozos de la memoria profunda.

• I was sitting at home and had a profound experience. I experienced, in all of my Being, that someday I was going to die, and it wouldn't be like it had been happening, almost dying but somehow staying alive, but I would just die! And two things would happen right before I died: I would regret my entire life; I would want to live it over again. This terrified me. The thought that I would live my entire life, look at it and realize I blew it forced me to do something with my life.

  Hubert Selby, Jr.

• For the most profound experiences in our lives and in the world words are worth nothing. Can you describe love Or death Can you describe what it really feels like the first time you see your child Or the first time your heart gets broken You can try...but it won't come close to describing what it really was or what it really felt like.

• And now, Elric had told three lies. The first concerned his cousin Yyrkoon. The second concerned the Black Sword. The third concerned Cymoril. And upon those three lies was Elric's destiny to be built, for it is only about things which concern us most profoundly that we lie clearly and with profound conviction.

• Was not Hypatia the greatest philosopher of Alexandria, and a true martyr to the old values of learning? She was torn to pieces by a mob of incensed Christians not because she was a woman, but because her learning was so profound, her skills at dialectic so extensive that she reduced all who queried her to embarrassed silence. They could not argue with her, so they murdered her.

• She reached up and lay her hand on my cheek. "You have the sweetest face," she said, looking at me dreamily. "It's like the perfect kitchen." I fought not to smile. This was the delirium. She'd fade in and out of it before the profound exhaustion dragged her down into unconsciousness. If you see someone spouting nonsense to themselves in an alleyway in Tarbean, odds are they're not actually crazy, just a sweet-eater deranged by too much denner. "A kitchen?" "Yes," she said. "Everything matches and the sugar bowl is right where it should be.

• His universal compassion was due less to natural instinct, than to a profound conviction, a sum of thoughts that in the course of living had filtered through to his heart: for in the nature of man, as in rock, there may be channels hollowed by the dropping of water, and these can never be destroyed.

• En mi opinión, la explicación más sencilla es que Dios no existe. Nadie creó el universo y nadie dirige nuestro destino. Esto me lleva a una profunda constatación. Probablemente no haya cielo, ni tampoco vida después de la muerte. Tenemos esta única vida para apreciar el gran diseño del universo, y por ello estoy muy agradecido.
