• "Mr. Thornton," said Margaret, shaking all over with her passion, "go down this instant, if you are not a coward. Go down and face them like a man.

• Perdió gran parte de su apetito. Por la noche, una mano invisible la despertaba cada pocas horas. El dolor era fisiológico, una alteración de la sangre. A veces transcurría un minuto entero de pavor sin nombre -el tictac del reloj de cabecera, la luz azul de la luna cubriendo la ventana como pegamento- antes de que recordara el hecho brutal que lo había provocado.

• Death comes to me again, a girl in a cotton slip, barefoot, giggling. It’s not so terrible she tells me, not like you think, all darkness and silence. There are windchimes and the smell of lemons, some days it rains, but more often the air is dry and sweet. I sit beneath the staircase built from hair and bone and listen to the voices of the living. I like it, she says, shaking the dust from her hair, especially when they fight, and when they sing.

• The giant raised his fist, and a voice cut through the dream. "Leo!" Jason was shaking his shoulder. "Hey, man, why are you hugging Nike?" Leo's eyes fluttered open. His arms were wrapped around the human-sized statue in Athena's hand. He must have been thrashing in his sleep. He clung to the victory goddess like he used to cling to his pillow when he had nightmares as a kid. (Man, that had been so embarrassing in the foster homes.) He disentangled himself and sat up, rubbing his face. "Nothing," he muttered. "we were just cuddling. Um, what's going on?

• Creo que uno de los momentos más felices de la vida humana es la partida hacia tierras desconocidas en un viaje lejano.

• ¿Oyes los sueños crepitando como una hoguera? ¿Oyes los sueños que recorren los pinos y los tipis? ¿Oyes los sueños riendo en el serrín? ¿Oyes a los sueños temblar un poco mientras el día se alarga? ¿Oyes a los sueños ponerse una buena chaqueta que huela a pan frito y a humo dulce? ¿Oyes a los sueños trasnochar y contar tantas historias?

• He felt around desperately for a weapon. What did he have? Diapers? Cookies? Oh, why hadn't they given him a sword? He was the stupid warrior, wasn't he?

• No conoce otro camino que la fealdad", dijo Sir Topher en voz baja. "No le enseñaron otras lecciones que las de la fuerza. Sus maestros han sido escoria que vive según sus propias reglas. Nadie le ha enseñado otra cosa". "¿Tengo que perdonar?", dijo ella, con la voz temblorosa por la ira. "No", dijo él con tristeza. "Compadécete de él. O darle nuevas reglas.

• Algunos afirmarían que la Providencia estaba sacudiendo sus bolsillos en el regazo de la Humanidad. Otros abogarían por ese coreógrafo sin sentido que es el azar. En cualquier caso, fue algo sencillo: un diario perdido cayó en manos de un héroe de guerra enfermo del alma en un tren de Bombay a Jaipur justo cuando se había cansado del paisaje y necesitaba algo para alejar sus pensamientos del campo minado de sus desdichados pensamientos. De esta forma tan suave se sientan las bases de los primeros besos y las vidas arruinadas.

• What makes humans human is precisely that they do not know the future. That is why they do the fateful and amusing things they do: who can say how anything will turn out? Therein lies the only hope for redemption, discovery, and-let’s be frank—fun, fun, fun! There might be things people will get away with. And not just motel towels. There might be great illicit loves, enduring joy, faith-shaking accidents with farm machinery. But you have to not know in order to see what stories your life’s efforts bring you. The mystery is all.

• But the proles, if only they could somehow become conscious of their own strength, would have no need to conspire.  They needed only to rise up and shake themselves like a horse shaking off flies.  If they chose they could blow the Party to pieces tomorrow morning.  Surely sooner or later it must occur to them to do it?  And yet --!

• La mayoría de los timoneles se habrían conformado con una rueda de piloto o un timón. Leo también había instalado un teclado, un monitor, controles de aviación de un Learjet, una caja de resonancia de dubstep y sensores de control de movimiento de una Nintendo Wii. Podía girar la nave tirando del acelerador, disparar armas escuchando un álbum o izar las velas agitando los mandos de la Wii a toda velocidad. Incluso para los estándares de los semidioses, Leo tenía un grave TDAH.

• Since early morning he had been swimming in the river, in company with his friends the ducks. And when the ducks stood on their heads suddenly, as ducks will, he would dive down and tickle their necks, just under where their chins would be if ducks had chins, till they were forced to come to the surface again in a hurry, spluttering and angry and shaking their feathers at him, for it is impossible to say quite all you feel when your head is under water.
