• To me, the blues is an infection. I don't think it's necessarily a melancholy thing; the blues can be really positive and I think I think anyone and everyone can have a place for the blues. It need not always a woeful, sorrowful thing. It's more reflective; it reminds you to feel.

• Todas las sociedades son malas, tristes, desiguales; y siempre lo serán. Así que si realmente quieres ayudar a este mundo, lo que tendrás que enseñar es cómo vivir en él. Y eso no lo puede hacer nadie que no haya aprendido a vivir en él con la tristeza y la alegría del conocimiento de la vida tal como es.

• The unicorn was white, with hoofs of silver and graceful horn of pearl... The glorious thing about him was his eye. There was a faint bluish furrow down each side of his nose, and this led to the eye sockets, and surrounded them in a pensive shade. The eyes, circled by this sad and beautiful darkness, were so sorrowful, lonely, gentle and nobly tragic, that they killed all other emotions except love.

  T. H. White

• Be not the slave of your moods, but their master. But if you are so angry, so depressed and so sore that your spirit cannot find deliverance and peace even in prayer, then quickly go and give some pleasure to someone lowly or sorrowful, or to a guilty or innocent sufferer! Sacrifice yourself, your talent, your time, your rest to another, to one who has to bear a heavier load than you - and your unhappy mood will dissolve into a blessed, contented submission to God.

  Abdu'l-Bahá

• I was forced to fall back upon the unsatisfactory conclusion, that while, beyond doubt, there are combinations of very simple natural objects which have the power of thus affecting us, still the analysis of this power lies among considerations beyond our depth. It was possible, I reflected, that a mere different arrangement of the particulars of the scene, of the details of the picture, would be sufficient to modify, or perhaps to annihilate its capacity for sorrowful impression.

• I am not times fool, nor a god hardened by the millennia; I am not the trickster in the black cape nor the sorrowful wanderer. I have a conscience. I know right from wrong I know what I do and yes, I do it. I am the Vampire Lestat. That's your answer do with it as you will.

• El canto multiforme del río resonaba suavemente. Siddhartha miró al río y vio muchas imágenes en el agua que fluía. La voz del río era triste. Cantaba con anhelo y tristeza, fluyendo hacia su meta... Siddhartha ahora escuchaba atentamente... esta canción de mil voces ... entonces la gran canción de mil voces consistía en una palabra: Om - Perfección ... Desde esa hora Siddhartha ceso de luchar contra su destino.

• El demonio, generador de angustias dolorosas y problemas inquietos, huye ante el sonido de la música casi tanto como ante la Palabra de Dios....La música es un don y una gracia de Dios, no una invención de los hombres. Así ahuyenta al demonio y alegra a las personas. Entonces uno se olvida de toda ira, impureza y demás artificios.

  Martin Luther

• The 'lords of the earth' are those who are doing their Will. It does not necessarily mean people with coronets and automobiles; there are plenty of such people who are the most sorrowful slaves in the world. The sole test of one's lordship is to know what one's true Will is, and to do it.

  los sabios esperan, los afligidos invitan,
  Y todos los buenos abrazan, que conocen la tumba
  Un corto y oscuro pasaje hacia la luz eterna.

• Blood Dazzler es la apasionada crónica lírica de Patricia Smith sobre una querida ciudad en peligro, una ciudad cuyos habitantes fueron abandonados a su suerte antes que todos nosotros, un pueblo que fue el corazón de nuestro país y la savia de nuestra cultura. Después de la crecida del agua, los vientos y el abandono, después de nuestro fracaso y negligencia, llega esta sinfonía de palabras desde las ruinas: muchas voces, conmovedora, dolorosa y feroz. Es la poesía asumiendo plenamente su tarea.

  Vultum verba decent; iratum, plena minarum;
  Ludentem, lasciva: severum, seria dictu.]
