• Truth is, most of us contain a splashing, giggling, squealing child who knows without thinking that bare skin and water go together as wings go with air, roots with earth, and the phoenix with incendiary sun. And innocence belongs to us as it did to ancient Greek athletes, who never wore clothes for their footraces or boxing matches but rather oiled themselves until their nude bodies glistened in the sunlight.

• Embracing your new kind of normal is the most empowering choice you will ever make. It transcends common sense. It is resistant to old patterns. It is sticky, uncomfortable, agitating, and difficult. But it is liberating and life giving and spirit enriching. It changes your life and the lives of everyone who joins you on your journey. And then, quite unexpectedly, you realize you are splashing hope into the lives of others because you have an intimate love relationship with the Source of hope.

• Nunca olvides que el tema es tan importante como tu sentimiento; el charco de barro en sí es tan importante como el placer que sientes al mirarlo o chapotear en él. Nunca dejes que el charco de barro se pierda en la poesía, porque, en muchos sentidos, el charco de barro es la poesía.

  Valerie Worth

• I often remember in this false, distorted way, and the memories are often cloaked in the colour of the sun. Sometimes I feel nostalgia for things I knew I hated when they were happening, for days spent at the beach or the swimming pool with my sisters.
  When I pick my memories apart, I realise my mind has merely played back the objective ingredients, the clichéd apparatus of happiness, the sun, the sound of splashing water, ice-cream on parched lips and cold fizzy drink on a hot tongue, and laugher too. My memory often peddles on the falsehood of past happiness. I should know this.

• The artist must be like a heart surgeon. He must approach something with sympathy, but with a sort of coldness and work and work until he finds some kind of perfection in his work. You can't have blood splashing all over the place. Things must be done very cleanly.

• No estaba prestando atención", dijo Myrtle dramáticamente. "Peeves me molestó tanto que vine aquí e intenté suicidarme. Luego, por supuesto, recordé que estoy... que estoy..." "Ya estoy muerta", dijo Ron esperanzado. Myrtle soltó un trágico sollozo, se elevó en el aire, se dio la vuelta y se zambulló de cabeza en el retrete, salpicándolos de agua y desapareciendo de la vista, aunque por la dirección de sus sollozos ahogados, había ido a parar a algún lugar de la curva en U.

• Chapotear en el barro cuando hace frío no es lo mío. Intenté ir al Festival de la Isla de Wight en 1969, cuando tocaba Bob Dylan, pero nunca lo conseguimos. Alquilamos un barco en Lymington, pero nos perdimos y cuando llegamos ya había terminado la música. La verdad es que no me entristecí demasiado.

• My father had put these things on the table. I looked at him standing by the sink. He was washing his hands, splashing water on his face. My mamma left us. My brother, too. And now my feckless, reckless uncle had as well. My pa stayed, though. My pa always stayed. I looked at him. And saw the sweat stains on his shirt. And his big, scarred hands. And his dirty, weary face. I remembered how, lying in my bed a few nights before, I had looked forward to showing him my uncle's money. To telling him I was leaving. And I was so ashamed.

• I had found a new friend. The surprising thing is where I’d found him – not up a tree or sulking in the shade, or splashing around in one of the hill streams, but in a book. No one had told us kids to look there for a friend. Or that you could slip inside the skin of another. Or travel to another place with marshes, and where, to our ears, the bad people spoke like pirates.

• An increasing number of people are growing uncomfortable with the gulf between the world's rich and the poor. Ostentatiously splashing your money around simply draws attention to that disparity, and to your own position on the lucky higher ground. It suggests a callousness, an inhumanity, a let's-just-rub-their-noses-in-it arrogance.

• Because of the Thames I have always loved inland waterways - water in general, water sounds - there's music in water. Brooks babbling, fountains splashing. Weirs, waterfalls; tumbling, gushing.

• El agua. Su huella soleada en la llanura; su chapoteo en el canal del jardín, el sonido que hace cuando en su curso se encuentra con la melena de la hierba; el reflejo diluido del cielo junto con la visión fugaz de los juncos; las Negras llenan sus calabazas goteantes y sus recipientes de arcilla roja; el canto de las lavanderas; los campos atiborrados las altas cosechas madurando.

• Finally from the crease of the ravine I am following, there begins to come the trickling and splashing of water. There is a great restfulness in the sounds these small streams make; they are going down as fast as they can, but their sound seem leisurely and idle, as if produced like gemstones with the greatest patience and care.

• ¿Y no me dejarás?" "No." Alec dijo. "No, nunca te dejaremos. Ya lo sabes". "Jamás". Isabelle tomó su mano, la que Alec no sostenía, y la apretó con fiereza. "Lightwoods, todos juntos". Susurró. La mano de Jace se humedeció de repente donde ella la sujetaba, y se dio cuenta de que estaba llorando, de que sus lágrimas salpicaban llorando por él, porque lo quería; incluso después de todo lo que había pasado, seguía queriéndolo. Ambos lo amaban. Se quedó dormido así, con Isabelle a un lado y Alec al otro, mientras el sol salía con el alba.

• It was a bird. A bird struggling through stickiness: a bird coated in paint, floundering in its nest, splashing color everywhere. Red. Red. Red. Dozens of them: black feathers coated thickly with crimson-colored paint, fluttering among the branches. Red means run.

• There is a hush over all Europe, nay, over all the world. Alas! it is the hush of suspense, and in many lands it is the hush of fear. Listen! No, listen carefully, I think I hear somethingyes, there it was quite clear. Dont you hear it? It is the tramp of armies crunching the gravel of the paradegrounds, splashing through rain-soaked fields, the tramp of two million German soldiers and more than a million Italiansgoing on maneuversyes, only on maneuvers!
