She walked along shaking her head and saying, "Why, this is an outrage... an outrage..." at every bowl.

• The drinking was getting way out of control. I just didn't recognize myself anymore. I didn't know what I was doing or where I was. I always had to have some drinks with me in my bag. Just waking up shaking and then having Bloody Marys on your own, first thing in the morning-I started to feel really pathetic about it. So I was like, "I can't live like this." It was just this really awful feeling of becoming a totally different person and not being able to control it at all. Then I tried to not drink, but that didn't work. So I figured I should just go to rehab.

• I -- I alone know how to mourn for him as he deserves.' But while we were still shaking hands, such a look of awful desolation came upon her face that I perceived she was one of those creatures that are not the playthings of Time. For her he had died only yesterday. And, by Jove! the impression was so powerful that for me, too, he seemed to have died only yesterday -- nay, this very minute. I saw her and him in the same instant of time -- his death and her sorrow -- I saw her sorrow in the very moment of his death. Do you understand? I saw them together -- I heard them together.

• La enseñanza y la edición me han ayudado enormemente y han traído gente maravillosa a mi vida. Cuando veo a un autor al que estoy editando esforzarse por plasmar una idea en la página, o veo que a un alumno le tiemblan las manos al leer algo que ha escrito en voz alta por primera vez, no pierdo la perspectiva. Lo vulnerables que somos todos. Lo difícil que puede ser abrir la puerta.

• In literature and in art, alike, this gloomy fashion of regarding Death has been characteristic of Christianity. Death has been painted as a skeleton grasping a scythe, a grinning skull, a threatening figure with terrible face and uplifted dart, a bony scarecrow shaking an hourglass - all that could alarm and repel has been gathered round this rightly-named King of Terrors.

• Para sobrevivir, para evitar lo que hemos denominado el choque del futuro, el individuo debe ser infinitamente más adaptable y capaz que nunca. Debemos buscar formas totalmente nuevas de anclarnos, pues todas las viejas raíces - religión, nación, comunidad, familia o profesión - tiemblan ahora bajo el impacto huracanado del empuje acelerador. Ya no son los recursos los que limitan las decisiones, es la decisión la que hace los recursos.
