• Every act of motherhood contains a dual intent, as the mother holds the child close and prepares it to move way from her, as she supports the child and stands it firmly on its own feet, and as she guards it against danger and sends it out across the yard, down by the stream, and across the traffic-crowded highway. Unless a mother can do both - gather her child close and turn her child out toward the world - she will fail in her purpose.

  Margaret Mead

  Madre, Hijos, Mudanza

• El sentimiento de propiedad es una de las razones por las que el maltrato tiende a empeorar a medida que las relaciones se vuelven más serias. Cuanto más historia y compromiso se desarrollan en la pareja, más llega el maltratador a considerar a su pareja como un objeto preciado. La posesividad es el núcleo de la mentalidad del maltratador, el manantial del que brotan todos los demás torrentes; en algún nivel siente que le perteneces y que, por tanto, tiene derecho a tratarte como le parezca.

  Lundy Bancroft

  Pareja, Primavera, Compromiso

• Aminora el filo de los traidores, bondadoso Señor,
  que reducirían de nuevo estos días sangrientos
  Y hacer llorar a la pobre Inglaterra en torrentes de sangre.
  Que no vivan para probar el aumento de esta tierra
  que con traición hieran la paz de esta hermosa tierra.
  Ahora las heridas civiles han cesado, la paz vive de nuevo:
  ¡Que viva mucho tiempo aquí, Dios diga amén!

• To-day, to-morrow, every day, to thousands the end of the world is close at hand. And why should we fear it? We walk here, as it were, in the crypts of life; at times, from the great cathedral above us, we can hear the organ and the chanting choir; we see the light stream through the open door, when some friend goes up before us; and shall we fear to mount the narrow staircase of the grave that leads us out of this uncertain twilight into life eternal?

• O lovely river of Yvette!
  O darling river! like a bride,
  Some dimpled, bashful, fair Lisette
  Thou goest to wed the Orge's tide.
  O lovely river Yvette!
  O darling stream! on balanced wings
  The wood-birds sang the chansonnette
  That here a wandering poet sings.

• En verdad se nos permite llorar: llorando dispersamos nuestra ira; y las lágrimas atraviesan el corazón, incluso como un arroyo.
  [Flere licet certe: flendo diffundimus iram:
  Perque sinum lacrimae, fluminis instar enim.]

  Ovid

  Heart, Wrath, Tears

• La vida no consiste en una serie de acciones ilustres o de goces elegantes. La mayor parte de nuestro tiempo transcurre en el cumplimiento de las necesidades, en el desempeño de los deberes diarios, en la eliminación de pequeños inconvenientes, en la obtención de pequeños placeres; y estamos bien o mal, según la corriente principal de la vida se desliza suavemente, o se ve agitada por pequeños obstáculos y frecuentes interrupciones.

• Beyond all explanations which a good brain can give, why do we choose the worse and not the better, why hate rather than love, why greed and not generosity, why self-centred activity and not open total action? Why be mean when there are soaring mountains and flashing streams? Why jealousy and not love? Why?

• Cultiva una corriente continua de autodescripción, diciéndote a ti mismo lo que está ocurriendo. Acostúmbrate a la idea de que la mente puede penetrar la superficie inmediata del ser y revelar su densidad táctil como un múltiple cuya medida no puede ser tomada inmediatamente por los ojos, que es profundo, está conectado, es complejo. Todo contiene en sí mismo la anticipación y el recuerdo de todo lo demás.

• In Canada, when we speak of water, we're speaking of ourselves. Canadians are known to be unextravagant, and one explanation of this might be that we know that wasted water means a diminished collective soul; polluted waters mean a sickened soul. Water is the basis of our self-identity, and when we dream of canoes and thunderstorms and streams and even snowballs, we're dreaming about our innermost selves.

• The Internet is all about accessing entertainment. Realistically, 50 to 80 percent of all traffic is people downloading stuff for free. If you can turn that huge market share into something that you can monetize, even if it is just with ads, you will end up making more money than with all other revenue streams combined.

• Music is like a river or stream that has come down to us through time, bringing nurture to man's soul. From the past masters, this music flowed to my father and through him to me. I want to keep this stream flowing. I don't want it to die. It must spread all over the world.
