• A book is the only place in which you can examine a fragile thought without breaking it, or explore an explosive idea without fear it will go off in your face. It is one of the few havens remaining where a man's mind can get both provocation and privacy.

• The approval of the public is to be avoided like the plague. It is absolutely essential to keep the public from entering if one wishes to avoid confusion. I must add that the public must be kept panting in expectation at the gate by a system of challenges and provocations.

• La infatuación es una de esas enfermedades ligeramente cómicas que son a la vez tan indignas y tan dolorosas que un mundo de buenas intenciones hace todo lo posible por ignorar su existencia por completo, refiriéndose a ellas sólo bajo provocación y luego con disculpas, pero, al igual que su hermano más material, este forúnculo en el cuello del espíritu difícilmente puede ser olvidado ni por el que lo sufre ni por nadie de su entorno. La enfermedad es ridícula, triste, insoportable y, sobre todo, diagnosticable al instante.

• You cannot hurt animals, so what do I do? I kill the dog first. Then I do it with the boy. You're not supposed to break the illusion of this being a film, so I make the actor talk to the audience. Provocation is the principle of the whole film [ Funny Games]. It is very ironic.

  Michael Haneke

• Para perdonar las incesantes provocaciones de la vida cotidiana -para seguir perdonando a la suegra mandona, al marido acosador, a la esposa regañona, a la hija egoísta, al hijo engañoso-, ¿cómo podemos hacerlo? Sólo, creo, recordando dónde estamos, dando sentido a nuestras palabras cuando decimos en nuestras oraciones cada noche: "Perdona nuestras ofensas como nosotros perdonamos a los que nos ofenden". No se nos ofrece el perdón en otras condiciones. Rechazarlo es rechazar la misericordia de Dios para con nosotros mismos. No hay excepciones y Dios habla en serio.

  C. S. Lewis

  Hija, Madre, Acoso

• It seems to me probably that any one who has a series of intolerable positions to put up with must have been responsible for them to some extent... they have contributed to it by impatience or intolerance, or brusqueness-or some provocation.

• En el fondo, una perla es una "perturbación", una belleza causada por algo que no debería estar ahí y sobre lo que hay que hacer algo. Es la interrupción del equilibrio lo que crea la belleza. La belleza es una respuesta a la provocación, a la intrusión. ... La belleza de la perla es el resultado de un insulto.

• Learning to forgive is much more useful than merely picking up a stone and throwing it at the object of one's anger, the more so when the provocation is extreme. For it is under the greatest adversity that there exists the greatest potential for doing good, both for oneself and others.

• After we have thought out everything carefully in advance and have sought and found without prejudice the most plausible plan, we must not be ready to abandon it at the slightest provocation. should this certainty be lacking, we must tell ourselves that nothing is accomplished in warfare without daring; that the nature of war certainly does not let us see at all times where we are going; that what is probable will always be probable though at the moment it may not seem so; and finally, that we cannot be readily ruined by a single error, if we have made reasonable preparations.

• The vice named surrealism is the immoderate and impassioned use of the stupefacient image or rather of the uncontrolled provocation of the image for its own sake and for the element of unpredictable perturbation and of metamorphosis which it introduces into the domain of representation; for each image on each occasion forces you to revise the entire Universe.

  Luis Aragón

• Caballeros ancianos, gentiles en todos los aspectos, amables con los animales, queridos por los niños y aficionados a la música, son encontrados en rincones solitarios de las colinas, hurgando en los fosos de arena o en las matas de hierba, y murmurando con una furia ciega e ingobernable elaboradas maldiciones que no podrían extraerse de ellos mediante el robo o el asesinato. Hombres que se enfrentarían a la tortura sin decir una palabra se convierten en blasfemos en el decimocuarto corto. Está claro que el juego del golf bien puede incluirse en esa categoría de provocaciones intolerables que pueden excusar o mitigar legalmente un comportamiento que de otro modo no sería excusable.

  A. P. Herbert

• Agential realism is not a manifesto, it does not take for granted that all is or will or can be made manifest. On the contrary, it is a call, a plea, a provocation, a cry, a passionate yearning for an appreciation of, attention to the tissue of ethicality that runs through the world.
