• Personal weapons are what raised mankind out of the mud, and the rifle is the queen of personal weapons. The possession of a good rifle, as well as the skill to use it well, truly makes a man the monarch of all he surveys. It realizes the ancient dream of the Jovian thunderbolt, and as such it is the embodiment of personal power. For this reason it exercises a curious influence over the minds of most men, and in its best examples it constitutes an object of affection unmatched by any other inanimate object.

• Es bueno que todo el mundo estudie la astrología, ya que, como se ha indicado, aunque muchas personas se han propuesto demostrar que los aspectos astrológicos y el estudio astrológico permiten determinar las condiciones futuras y pasadas, éstas se encuentran en un punto en el que el individuo comprende que actúan sobre los individuos debido a su estancia o a la correlación de sus asociaciones con el entorno a través del cual se manifiestan, ¿ves? Más que la estrella dirigiendo la vida, la vida del individuo dirige los cursos de las estrellas, ¿ves?

• Linnæus, setting out for Lapland, surveys his "comb" and "spare shirt," "leathern breeches" and "gauze cap to keep off gnats," with as much complacency as Bonaparte a park of artillery for the Russian campaign. The quiet bravery of the man is admirable.

• En un famoso estudio realizado por Middletown en Muncie, Indiana, en 1924, se pidió a las madres que clasificaran las cualidades que más deseaban en sus hijos. Las primeras de la lista eran la conformidad y la obediencia estricta. Más de cincuenta años después, cuando se repitió la encuesta de Middletown, las madres colocaron en primer lugar la autonomía y la independencia. La crianza más sana probablemente promueve un equilibrio de estas cualidades en los niños.

• A medida que se acerca el día más romántico del año, y como marca exclusivamente masculina, hemos querido averiguar qué sienten realmente los hombres por San Valentín y cómo quieren celebrarlo. La Encuesta de Lujo de Johnnie Walker Blue Label nos dice qué regalos quieren realmente los hombres frente a los regalos que las mujeres creen que quieren los hombres para San Valentín - y la realidad es que no estamos tan alejados como nos gusta pensar.

• The repeat run of Fawlty Towers (BBC2) drew bigger audiences than ever and deservedly so. Statistical surveys reveal that only the television critic of the Spectator is incapable of seeing the joke, which is that Basil Fawlty has the wrong temperament to be a hotel proprietor, just as some other people have the wrong temperament to be television critics.

• Experiencing a massage therapy session is its own best advertisement for changing perceptions. A recent national consumer survey found Americans had overwhelmingly positive feelings about their massage experience. Ninety-four percent express favorable feelings. Fully 85 percent expressed very favorable feelings about their most recent massage, with 37 percent rating it a perfect ten-out-of-ten. What is striking is that there are very few detractors. Most of those who haven't yet received a massage simply haven't felt a need for it

• The most evident difference between man and animals is this: the beast, in as much as it is largely motivated by the senses and with little perception of the past or future, lives only for the present. But man, because he is endowed with reason by which he is able to perceive relationships, sees the causes of things, understands the reciprocal nature of cause and effect, makes analogies, easily surveys the whole course of his life, and makes the necessary preparations for its conduct.

• 1984, de George Orwell, suele encabezar las listas de nuestros mejores libros: no es una celebración del lenguaje poético. Es decididamente antiliterario, una obra maestra de la secuencia narrativa personal y política. Y su temática es crucial, porque lo que 1984 muestra es que el lenguaje puede ser un truco sucio.
