• I guess if I'd had any sense, I'd have been a little scared [to register to vote] - but what was the point of being scared? The only thing they could do was kill me, and it kinda seemed like they'd been trying to do that a little bit at a time since I could remember.

• All of this is on account we want to register [sic], to become first-class citizens, and if the Freedom Democratic Party is not seated now, I question America.

• Me resulta imposible sentir que sólo hay una manera de hacer una cosa. No hay nada malo en tener una sola manera de hacerlo, pero creo que es una mala costumbre. Creo en la variedad. Hay muchas melodías que toco todo el tiempo, pero a veces las oigo en un registro diferente. Y si no tienes total libertad, o no te permites salir de esa única línea recta, oh, Dios mío, es demasiado horrible siquiera pensarlo.

  Wes Montgomery

• In an active life is sown the seed of wisdom; but he who reflects not, never reaps; has no harvest from it, but carries the burden of age without the wages of experience; nor knows himself old, but from his infirmities, the parish register, and the contempt of mankind. And age, if it has not esteem, has nothing.

• I put my energy into writing songs. I have to carve out a living somehow doing this, and licensing is one way. It's hard to register what's "too much" for other people. I don't watch TV, so it's tough for me to gauge. I just take it as it comes, and don't put a whole lot of thought into it.

• Sin infringir la libertad de la que tanto alardeamos, ¿no podríamos pedir a nuestro alcalde profesional que hiciera un llamamiento a los fumadores, les hiciera registrar sus nombres en cada distrito, y luego designara ciertas vías de la ciudad para su uso, para que aquellos que no sienten la necesidad de esta envoltura de vapor rizado, para asegurar la protección puedan ser aliviados de una molestia tan repugnante para los olfatos como perjudicial para los pulmones?

• No doubt hard work is a great police agent. If everybody were worked from morning till night, and then carefully locked up, the register of crime might be greatly diminished. But what would become of human nature? Where would be the room for growth in such a system of things? It is through sorrow and mirth, plenty and need, a variety of passions, circumstances, and temptations, even through sin and misery, that men's natures are developed.

• It is a psychological law that whatever we desire to accomplish we must impress upon the subjective or subconscious mind; that is, we must register a vow with ourselves, we must make our resolution with vigor, with faith that we can do the thing we want to do; we must register our conviction with such intensity that the great creative forces within us will tend to realize them. Our impressions will become expressions just in proportion to the vigor with which we register our vows to accomplish our ambitions, to make our visions realities.

• Jane Francklyne, nacida en 1565, vivió menos de un mes. Dejó muy poco. Fue enterrada en el cementerio de la iglesia de Ecton, pero su padre difícilmente habría pagado a un tallista para grabar una lápida tan pequeña. Si no fuera por el registro parroquial, no habría constancia de que Jane Francklyne hubiera vivido. La historia es lo que está escrito y se puede encontrar; lo que no se salva se pierde, se hunde y se pudre, se lo come la tierra.
