• Los científicos están empezando a reconocer los efectos de la mente en la salud física. La sensación de relajación asociada a la paz interior no sólo implica un bienestar físico. Si nos atormentan las preocupaciones o nos invade la ira, no estamos realmente relajados. La clave de la relajación es la paz mental. La relajación que se consigue con el alcohol, las drogas o simplemente escuchando música puede parecer atractiva, pero no dura.

  Dalai Lama

• El floreciente campo de la informática ha cambiado nuestra visión del mundo físico, que ha pasado de ser una colección de partículas materiales en interacción a ser una red hirviente de información. De este modo, las leyes de la física son una especie de software o algoritmo, mientras que el mundo material -el hardware- desempeña el papel de un gigantesco ordenador.

• Nunca se me había ocurrido antes, pero así es realmente: todos nosotros en la tierra caminamos constantemente sobre un hirviente y escarlata mar de llamas, oculto abajo, en el vientre de la tierra. Nunca pensamos en ello. Pero, ¿y si la fina corteza bajo nuestros pies se convirtiera en cristal y de repente viéramos?

• Los que habéis sobrevivido a la infancia ya no recordáis cómo era. Creéis que los niños son criaturas enteras, sin complicaciones, y que si los partierais en dos con un hacha, en su interior habría una sola sustancia, un caramelo duro. Pero no es tanto un caramelo duro como una lava hirviente de todo tipo de cosas, una confusión, un desorden. Y una vez que el niño empieza a pensar en este desastre, comienza a desintegrarse como niño y se convierte en otra cosa: un adulto, un animal.

  Joyce Carol Oates

• He rose, offering his hand to Evanlyn to assist her. Even though she was lithe and athletic as a cat, she took it, enjoying the contact. She saw Horace's slight frown as she did so and smiled to herself. A girl can never have too many admirers, she thought. Will seemed unperturbed by the fact that she retained hold of Selethen's hand a little longer than politeness dictated. But then, Ranger's were trained to look imperturbable. He was probably seething with jealousy, she thought.

• I have 90 percent or 95 percent support in the African American community and it's not sort of "Well, he's black, so it's okay. We're not going to say anything even though we're seething." And I hang out with a lot of middle-aged black women, and they're not casual in their support of me. There's a lot of love forthcoming. Partly because they understand the constraints of this society. They know that this is hard.

• John rose to his feet and apologized to Holiday. Her mom seethed. Her dad tried to talk to her seething mom. Holiday tried to touch everyone. Burnett continued to glare green daggers at John, proving how hard it was for a vampire to accept an apology. Not that she blamed him. Kill him. Kill him. She cheered the vampire on. Lucas hadn't stopped scowling at Derek and Derek hadn't stopped ignoring Lucas.

• As Steve draws me closer to the band, all I can see is a frenzied mass of seething, writhing people, like a many-headed sea snake, grinding, waving their arms, stamping their feet, jumping. No rules, just energy - so much energy, you could harness it; I bet you could power Portland for a decade. It is more than a wave. It's a tide, an ocean of bodies.

• El chirrido lanceolado (Dicrocoelium) infecta el cerebro de las hormigas tomando el control e impulsándolas a subir a lo alto de una brizna de hierba donde pueden ser comidas por una vaca. A continuación, el trematodo ingerido pone huevos en el intestino de la vaca. Al final, los huevos salen de la vaca y unos caracoles hambrientos se comen el estiércol (y los huevos de la tenia). La fasciola entra en la glándula digestiva del caracol y es excretada en una baba pegajosa llena de un hervidero de fasciolas que beben las hormigas como fuente de humedad.

• A surging, seething, murmuring crowd of beings that are human only in name, for to the eye and ear they seem naught but savage creatures, animated by vile passions and by the lust of vengeance and of hate. The hour, some little time before sunset, and the place, the West Barricade, at the very spot where, a decade later, a proud tyrant raised an undying monument to the nation's glory and his own vanity.

• So long as a man remains a gregarious and sociable being, he cannot cut himself off from the gratification of the instinct of imparting what he is learning, of propagating through others the ideas and impressions seething in his own brain, without stunting and atrophying his moral nature and drying up the surest sources of his future intellectual replenishment.

• No, we don't accomplish our love in a single year as the flowers do; an immemorial sap flows up through our arms when we love. Dear girl, this: that we loved, inside us, not One who would someday appear, but seething multitudes; not just a single child, but also the fathers lying in our depths like fallen mountains; also the dried-up riverbeds of ancient mothers-;also the whole soundless landscape under the clouded or clear sky of its destiny -; all this, my dear, preceded you.

• Tras el nacimiento de la imprenta, los libros se generalizaron. De ahí que todo el mundo en toda Europa se dedicara al estudio de la literatura... Cada año, especialmente desde 1563, el número de escritos publicados en todos los campos es mayor que todos los producidos en los últimos mil años. A través de ellos se ha creado hoy una nueva teología y una nueva jurisprudencia; los paracelsianos han creado de nuevo la medicina y los copernicanos han creado de nuevo la astronomía. Creo realmente que por fin el mundo está vivo, más aún, en ebullición, y que los estímulos de estas notables conjunciones no actuaron en vano.
