• We accept without reservation the scriptural teachings that Christ is the Son of God and that he came into the world to ransom men from the spiritual and temporal death brought into the world by the fall of Adam. No one can state too plainly or emphasize too strongly this eternal truth that salvation is in Christ and that it comes because of his atoning sacrifice. Nor can we set forth too clearly the gospel truth that we also must do certain things to be saved.

  Joseph Fielding Smith

• What needs to be discharged is the intolerable tenderness of the past, the past gone and grieved over and never made sense of. Music ransoms us from the past, declares an amnesty, brackets and sets aside the old puzzles. Sing a new song. Start a new life, get a girl, look into her shadowy eyes, smile.

  Walker Percy

• Dear Mia, What can I say? I don't know all that much about romance novels, but I think you must be the Stephen King of the genre. Your book is hot. Thanks for letting me read it. Anyone who doesn't want to publish it is a fool. Anyway, since I know it's your birthday, and I also know you never remember to back anything up, here's a little something I made for you. It would be a shame if Ransom My Heart got lost before it ever saw the light of day because your hard drive crashed. See you tonight. Love, Michael

• Tenía las mejillas sonrojadas. Agarró el brazo del Salvaje y lo apretó, flácido, contra su costado. Él la miró por un momento, pálido, dolorido, deseoso y avergonzado de su deseo. No era digno, no... Sus ojos se encontraron por un momento. ¡Qué tesoros prometían los de ella! El rescate de una reina de temperamento. Apresuradamente apartó la mirada, desenganchó su brazo aprisionado. Estaba oscuramente aterrorizado de que ella dejara de ser algo de lo que él se sintiera indigno.

• A pesar de todo el pesimismo que asalta constantemente nuestros sentidos, existe un modo de rescatar nuestras vidas y reclamar nuestro futuro: consiste en apartarnos del mundo para reconocer lo que en la vida nos hace verdaderamente felices. Para cada uno de nosotros, eso será diferente. Pero una vez que obtengamos este conocimiento interior, poseeremos la capacidad de transformar nuestro mundo exterior. "Puedes vivir toda una vida y, al final de ella, saber más de los demás que de ti mismo", nos recuerda la piloto y escritora Beryl Markham. No podemos permitir que esto siga ocurriendo.

• Ah. Medieval-style ransom.” Toot looked confused. “He did run some, but I stopped him, my lord. Like, just now. In front of you. Right over there.” There were several conspicuous sounds behind me, the loudest from my apprentice, and I turned to eye everyone else. They were all either covering smiles or holding them back— poorly. “Hey, peanut gallery,” I said. “This isn’t as easy as I’m making it look.” “You’re doing fine,” Karrin said, her eyes twinkling. I sighed. “Come on, Toot,” I said, and walked over to Hook.

• A real man doesn't have to run from his mother, and may even have to face the reality that no great deed is going to be great enough for him to ransom himself completely, and he may always be in his mother's debt. If he understands that . . . he won't have to feel guilty, and he won't have to please her completely. He can go ahead and be nice to her and let her be part of his life.

• Desear dinero es mucho más noble que desear el éxito. Desear dinero puede significar desear volver a tu país, o casarte con la mujer que amas, o rescatar a tu padre de los bandidos. Pero desear el éxito debe significar que sientes un placer abstracto en el acto poco fraternal de distanciar y deshonrar a otros hombres.
