  Sssh says the small wave at the shore

• Una de las cualidades notables de la historia es que crea espacio. Podemos habitar en una historia, pasear por ella, encontrar nuestro propio lugar. La historia confronta pero no oprime; la historia inspira pero no manipula. La historia nos invita a un encuentro, a un diálogo, a un compartir mutuo. Mientras tengamos historias que contarnos, habrá esperanza. Mientras podamos recordarnos mutuamente las vidas de hombres y mujeres en los que se manifiesta el amor de Dios, hay motivos para avanzar hacia nuevas tierras en las que se esconden nuevas historias.

• The best CEOs in our research display tremendous ambition for their company combined with the stoic will to do whatever it takes, no matter how brutal (within the bounds of the company's core values), to make the company great. Yet at the same time they display a remarkable humility about themselves, ascribing much of their own success to luck, discipline and preparation rather than personal genius.

• La Constitución americana es notable por su simplicidad; pero sólo puede bastar a un pueblo habitualmente correcto en sus acciones, y sería totalmente inadecuada para las necesidades de una nación diferente. Cambien los hábitos domésticos de los americanos, su devoción religiosa y su alto respeto por la moralidad, y no será necesario cambiar ni una sola letra de la Constitución para variar toda la forma de su gobierno.

• This is the same problem I have with digital photography. The potential is always remarkable. But the medium never settles. Each year there is a better camera to buy and new software to download. The user never has time to become comfortable with the tool. Consequently too much of the work is merely about the technology. The HDR and QTVR fads are good examples. Instead of focusing on the subject, users obsess over RAW conversion, Photoshop plug-ins, and on and on. For good work to develop the technology needs to become as stable and functional as a typewriter.

• It's still possible to savor the remarkable foods that millennia of human ingenuity have teased from milk. A sip of milk itself or a scoop of ice cream can be a Proustian draft of youth's innocence and energy and possibility, while a morsel of fine cheese is a rich meditation on maturity, the fulfillment of possibility, the way of all flesh.

• Las extrañas y maravillosas historias de El cerebro del doctor Olaf van Schuler nos presentan a la tremendamente dotada Kirsten Menger-Anderson, una escritora cuyo tema es nada menos que el diagnóstico y la cura del mal humano. Seguimos a doce generaciones de la familia Steenwycks de New York a través de sus incursiones en la frenología, el mesmerismo, la radioterapia y desventuras similares, una narración de gran riqueza histórica que Menger-Anderson presenta con una prosa impactante y elegante y con un ojo certero para el detalle. Se trata de un notable debut de una escritora a tener en cuenta.

• Casi todos los hombres son demasiado ansiosos. Tan pronto como entran en el mundo, pierden el gusto por los placeres naturales y sencillos, tan notable en los primeros años de su vida. Cada hora se preguntan qué progresos han hecho en la búsqueda de la riqueza o el honor, y siguen adelante como sus padres lo hicieron antes que ellos, hasta que, cansados y enfermos del corazón, miran hacia atrás con un suspiro de pesar, a la época dorada de su infancia.

• The evidence is overwhelming that marijuana can relieve certain types of pain, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms caused by such illnesses as multiple sclerosis, cancer and AIDS - or by the harsh drugs sometimes used to treat them. And it can do so with remarkable safety. Indeed, marijuana is less toxic than many of the drugs that physicians prescribe every day.

• Los descubrimientos simultáneos son absolutamente habituales, y sólo la rareza de los científicos, y no la improbabilidad inherente al fenómeno, los hacía notables en el pasado. Cabe esperar que los científicos que recorren el mismo camino lleguen al mismo destino, a menudo no muy lejos unos de otros.
