• I wish those people who write so glibly about this being a holy war and the orators who talk so much about going on, no matter how long the war lasts and what it may mean, could see a case of musterd gas - the poor things burnt and blistered all over with great musterd coloured suppurating blisters, with blind eyes, all sticky and stuck together, and always fighting for breath, with voices a mere whisper, saying their throats are closing and they know they will choke.

• Some poems present themselves as cliffs that need to be climbed. Others are so defensive that when you approach their enclosure you half expect to be met by a snarling dog at the gate. Still others want to smother you with their sticky charms.

• 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.

• Why, lies are like a sticky juice overspreading the world, a living, growing flypaper to catch and gum the wings of every human soul. . . And the little helpless buzzings of honest, liberal, kindly people, aren't they like the thin little noise flies make when they're caught?

• Había cantidades horrendas, dramáticas y violentas de baba verde. Cubría a Howl por completo. Le cubría la cabeza y los hombros en grumos pegajosos, se le amontonaba en las rodillas y las manos, le chorreaba por las piernas y goteaba del taburete en hebras pegajosas. Había charcos y charcos rezumantes por casi todo el suelo. Largos dedos se habían colado en la chimenea. Olía mal.

• You know, I've been thinking. Everyone makes peanut butter and jelly sandwiches but usually the jelly drips out all over the side and the guy's hands get all sticky. But your jelly stays right in the middle where it's supposed to. I don't know how you do it? You just got a gift, I guess. I've always thought so. I've just never mentioned it. But it's time you knew how I feel. I don't believe in keeping feelings bottled up. Goodbye, my wife.

• Aun así, me pregunto si no hay más mujeres artistas, músicas y escritoras porque no tenemos la suficiente fe en nuestras propias actividades como para dedicarnos el tiempo que necesitamos desesperadamente para dejarnos transformar por una visión creativa. Tal vez el techo de cristal no sea de cristal, sino de deditos pegajosos, platos amontonados en el fregadero e hipotecas que exigen dos ingresos.

• Me voy a un hotel e intento llegar antes de las cinco y media de la mañana. Guardo un diccionario, un diccionario de sinónimos, una biblia, una baraja de cartas, una botella de jerez y montones de blocs de notas adhesivas amarillas. Me encierro seis o siete horas. Tengo un acuerdo con el hotel por el que nadie puede entrar en mi habitación. Al cabo de tres o cuatro meses, puede que pasen notas por debajo de mi puerta del tipo: "Querida Sra. Angelou, por favor, permítanos cambiar las sábanas. Creemos que se están enmoheciendo". Probablemente sea verdad. Les dejo entrar si prometen no tocar nada más que la cama.

• When desire for a certain person's attention becomes an "I have to have" kind of grasping, then identity gets organized around needing that and it becomes very solid and sticky. That causes suffering because we're not inhabiting the fullness of who we are, we're fixated and contracted on life being a certain way.

• I'm sure that any current or past player of mine would tell you that the balls we practice with are as bad as they can be: wet, sticky, cold, slippery. However bad we can make them, I make them. Any time that players complain about the quality of the footballs, I make them worse and that stops the complaining.

• Terror is as much a part of the concept of truth as runniness is of the concept of jam. We wouldn't like jam if it didn't, by its very nature, ooze. We wouldn't like truth if it wasn't sticky, if, from time to time, it didn't ooze blood.

• I was a boy with one dream and one dream only: I wanted - no, strike that, I was desperate for - a room of my own. You see, in those days I shared a room with my little brother, Jesse, and it wasn't pretty. He was the Oscar to my Felix: messy, careless, and just a little bit sticky - exactly the way a kindergartner is supposed to be.

• In those sticky summer nights in South London our windows stay open and our tiny apartment becomes our secret garden. The magic of the secret garden is that it exists in our imagination. There are no limits, no borderlines. The secret garden leads to the marigolds of Mogadishu and the magnolias of Kingston and when the heat turns us sticky and sweet and unwilling to be claimed by defeat we own the night. We own our bodies. We own our lives.
