• "Death," said Akiva. His life was leaving him fast now that he no longer held his wound. His eyes just wanted to drift closed. "I'm ready." "Well, I'm not. I hear it's dull, being dead." She said it lightly, amused, and he peered up at her. Had she just made a joke? She smiled. Smiled. He did, too. Amazed, he felt it happening, as if her smile had triggered a reflex in him. "Dull sounds nice," he said, letting his eyes flutter closed. "Maybe I can catch up on my reading."

• Jared had his back to the wall, which Kami thought was a reflex when he was uncomfortable. She wanted to shield him. “He was doing some—Zen jogging,” she claimed. Jared flicked her an incredulous glance. “Yes,” he said slowly. “Zen jogging. I wasn’t wearing that many clothes because—that’s part of the process. You’re meant to commune with the elements.

• ¿Entonces por qué tenía su lengua en tu boca? ¿Estaba realizando una prueba clínica de tu reflejo nauseoso?". Sonrió, pero no amablemente. "¿Cómo es su reflejo nauseoso, Srta. Lane? ¿Se le disparan los pelos?" A Barrons le gusta utilizar insinuaciones sexuales para intentar hacerme callar. Creo que espera que la belleza sureña bien criada que hay en mí piense "eew" y retroceda. A veces, pienso eew, pero no retrocedo. "Soy una escupidora, si eso es lo que preguntas". Le mostré una sonrisa demasiado dulce. "A mí no me lo parece. Creo que eres un tragón. Su lengua estaba a medio camino de China y tú seguías tomándola". "¿Celoso?

• These books have not made George nobler or better or more truly wise. It is just that he likes listening to their voices, the one or the other, acording to his mood. He misuses them quite ruthlessly - despite the respectful way he has to talk about them in public - to put him to bed, to take his mind off the hands of the clock, to relax the nagging of his pyloric spasm, to gossip him out of his melancholy, to trigger the conditioned reflexes of his colon.

• ¿Has estado bebiendo esta mañana? ¿Cómo me has echado de menos? Juro que he luchado con mujeres mayores con mejores reflejos. (Takeshi) El hecho de que pelees con viejas me dice lo oxidado que te has vuelto. ¿Qué? ¿Tu ego necesitaba un empujón y eran las únicas a las que podías vencer? (Savitar)

  It is the reflex of our earthly frame,
  That takes its meaning from the nobler part,
  And but translates the language of the heart.

• Discipline is no longer literal obedience but intelligent obedience, for discipline aims at obedience coupled with activity of will. Once discipline weakens and vanishes, as it does towards the latter stages of the fire fight, and the crowd instinct possesses the soldier, then will he, if training has formed those necessary mental reflexes, surrender himself to the will of his leader; this is where leadership supplants discipline without destroying it.

  J. F. C. Fuller

• I believe you can never change a habit, or create one, with a word or a piece of chalk. You can talk all day, put all sorts of diagrams on the board, but a habit is not going to change. It's a conditional reflex, created by a repetitive act.

• Si esto es algo en lo que realmente te gustaría trabajar, no por un sentimiento de culpa sino porque te gustaría corresponder de vez en cuando, hay una gran cantidad de recursos ahí fuera para el aficionado entusiasta (no eres ni mucho menos el único aspirante a mamador cuyo espíritu está dispuesto pero su reflejo nauseoso es débil). Tienes más opciones que "nada de mamadas, nunca" y "sesiones regulares hasta el final que acaban en vómitos".
