Supper Quotes - Page 8

• For John was running, and this was terrible. Because if you ran, time ran. You yelled and screamed and raced and rolled and tumbled and all of a sudden the sun was gone and the whistle was blowing and you were on your long way home to supper. When you weren't looking, the sun got around behind you! The only way to keep things slow was to watch everything and do nothing! You could stretch a day to three days, sure, just by watching!

• I think oysters are more beautiful than any religion,' he resumed presently. 'They not only forgive our unkindness to them; they justify it, they incite us to go on being perfectly horrid to them. Once they arrive at the supper-table they seem to enter thoroughly into the spirit of the thing. There's nothing in Christianity or Buddhism that quite matches the sympathetic unselfishness of an oyster.

• En cualquier caso, el fuego quema; ésa es su naturaleza, y no puedes pretender cambiarla. Puedes usarlo para cocinar tu carne o para quemar la casa de tu vecino. ¿Y el fuego que utilizas para cocinar es diferente del que utilizas para quemar? ¿Y eso significa que debes comerte la cena cruda?". Maddy negó con la cabeza, aún perpleja. "Así que lo que estás diciendo es que. . . No debería jugar con fuego", dijo al fin. Claro que deberías", dijo Ojo-Uno con suavidad.

• La realidad de vivir por fe como si ya estuviéramos muertos, de vivir por fe en abierta comunión con Dios, y luego volver al mundo exterior como si ya hubiéramos resucitado de entre los muertos, esto no es de una vez para siempre, es cuestión de fe momento a momento, y de vivir momento a momento. La fe de esta mañana nunca servirá para este mediodía. La fe de este mediodía nunca servirá para la hora de la cena. La fe de la cena nunca servirá para la mañana siguiente. Gracias a Dios por la realidad para la que fuimos creados, una comunicación momento a momento con Dios mismo.

• The worst of sleeping out of doors is that you wake up so dreadfully early. And when you wake up you have to get up because the ground is so hard you are uncomfortable. And it makes matters worse if there is nothing but apples for breakfast and you have had nothing but apples for supper the night before.
