• La astucia sólo tiene objetivos egoístas y privados, y no se detiene ante nada que pueda hacerlos triunfar. La discreción tiene vistas amplias y extensas, y, como un ojo bien formado, domina todo el horizonte; la astucia es una especie de miopía, que descubre los objetos más diminutos que están cerca, pero no es capaz de discernir las cosas a distancia.

• Como sabe cualquiera que haya recibido o dispensado psicoterapia, es una profesión cuyo resorte principal es el amor. Casi todas las personas que visitan a un terapeuta padecen algún tipo de trastorno amoroso, y cada una de ellas tiene una historia que contar: de amor perdido o negado, de amor torcido o traicionado, de amor pervertido o encadenado a la violencia. Los vínculos rotos se esparcen por el suelo de la consulta como palos de golf. Aparecen personas con las costuras deshilachadas y los bolsillos desbordados.

So much as doing good is better than not doing evil will I account Christian good-fellowship better than an hermitish and melancholy solitariness.

  Joseph Hall

• Desde mi mesa de dentro observo a las glamurosas mujeres de fuera que almuerzan ensaladas Spa Cobb sin queso azul ni aliño. El hombre de la cesta de pan deambula de mesa en mesa, solitario como una nube. Cuando se acerca a mí, su cesta está llena y perfectamente ordenada. Me dedica una sonrisa de sincero placer cuando le digo que tomaré el panecillo de masa fermentada y el palito de queso.

I'm not necessarily a guy who gets addicted to more of certain things, but if I find something I like to do, I like to stick to it.
