• Science regards man as an aggregation of atoms temporarily united by a mysterious force called the life-principle. To the materialist the only difference between a living and a dead body is, that in the one case that force is active, in the other latent. When it is extinct or entirely latent, the molecules obey a superior attraction, which draws them asunder and scatters them through space. This dispersion must be death, if it is possible to conceive such a thing as death where the very molecules of the dead body manifest an intense vital energy.

• Everything lives and perishes through magnetism; one thing affects another one, even at great distances, and its "congenitals" may be influenced to health and disease by the power of this sympathy, at any time, and notwithstanding the intervening space.

• La inspiración de una causa noble que involucra intereses humanos amplios y lejanos, permite a los hombres hacer cosas de las que antes no se soñaban capaces, y de las que no eran capaces por sí solos. La conciencia de pertenecer, vitalmente, a algo más allá de la individualidad; de formar parte de una personalidad que llega no sabemos hasta dónde, en el espacio y en el tiempo, engrandece el corazón hasta el límite del ideal del alma, y forja el carácter supremo.

• Los frigios eligen un montículo natural, lo atraviesan con una zanja, cavan pasadizos y amplían el espacio interior tanto como permite el lugar. Sobre él construyen un tejado piramidal de troncos sujetos entre sí, que cubren con cañas y broza, amontonando montículos de tierra muy altos sobre sus moradas. De este modo, los inviernos son muy cálidos y los veranos muy frescos.

• I think good creative writing opens up space for people to come into. Let God reach out and touch the human soul. That's not my job. I get to be present and create as much space as I can ... That frees me up just to be creative in the way I want to be.

• ¡Oh! me he desprendido de las hoscas ataduras de la Tierra, y he bailado por los cielos en alas de risa plateada... Y, mientras con mente silenciosa y elevada he hollado, La alta e intacta santidad del espacio, - Extendí mi mano, y toqué el rostro de Dios.

• Conjoined twins simply may not need sex-romance partners as much as the rest of us do. Throughout time and space, they have described their condition as something like being attached to a soul mate.

• Westward, beyond the still pleasant, but, even then, no longer solitary, hamlet of Charing, a broad space, broken here and there by scattered houses and venerable pollards, in the early spring of 1467, presented the rural scene for the sports and pastimes of the inhabitants of Westminister and London.

• When some one sorrow, that is yet reparable, gets hold of your mind like a monomania,--when you think, because Heaven has denied you this or that, on which you had set your heart, that all your life must be a blank,--oh, then diet yourself well on biography,--the biography of good and great men. See how little a space one sorrow really makes in life. See scarce a page, perhaps, given to some grief similar to your own, and how triumphantly the life sails on beyond it.

• All the living hold together, and all yield to the same tremendous push. The animal takes its stand on the plant, man bestrides animality, and the whole of humanity, in space and in time, is one immense army galloping beside and before and behind each of us in an overwhelming charge able to beat down every resistance and clear the most formidable obstacles, perhaps even death.

• A somewhat casual observer from outer space might well deduce that the course of evolution in this planet had produced a species of large four-wheeled bugs with detachable brains; peculiar animals which rested when they sent their brains away from them but performed in rather predictable manner when their brains were recalled.

• No hay nada que recupere un alma cansada
  Como un día en un arroyo,
  De vuelta a las orillas del viejo agujero de pesca
  Donde un hombre puede soñar.
  No hay nada tan bueno para un hombre como huir
  De la ciudad y tumbarse
  de cuerpo entero a la sombra de un árbol susurrante
  Y contemplar el cielo.
  . . . .
  Es bueno para el mundo que los hombres tengan hambre de ir
  A las orillas de un arroyo,
  Y cansados de farsa y de pompa y de espectáculo
  Tienen un lugar donde soñar.
  Porque esta vida sería lúgubre, sórdida y vil
  Si no buscaran de vez en cuando
  Buscan refresco y calma en el amplio y abierto espacio de Dios
  y volvieran a ser hombres.

• There is a brief time for sex, and a long time when sex is out of place. But when it is out of place as an activity there still should be the large and quiet space in the consciousness where it lives quiescent. Old people can have a lovely quiescent sort of sex, like apples, leaving the young quite free for their sort.

• Old age is a lease nature only signs as a particular favor, and it may be, to one, only in the space of two or three ages; and then with a pass to boot, to carry him through, all the traverses and difficulties she has strewed in the way of his long career.
