• Así que lo mejor es mantener la mente abierta y ser agnóstico. A primera vista parece una postura irrefutable, al menos en el sentido débil de la apuesta de Pascal. Pero pensándolo bien, parece una evasiva, porque lo mismo podría decirse de Papá Noel y las hadas de los dientes. Puede que haya hadas en el fondo del jardín. No hay pruebas de ello, pero no se puede demostrar que no las haya, así que ¿no deberíamos ser agnósticos con respecto a las hadas?

  Richard Dawkins

• Brimstone: '...I shall smite thee with my fightful blasting wand so that thy teeth shall drop out, thy skin shall wrinkle, thou shalt have boils on thy bottom and be subject to night sweats, ringing in the ears, falling sickness, flaking dandruff, arthritis, lumbago, uncontrollable dribbling, deafness, runny nose, and ingrowing toenails.

• All Creatures know that some must die That all the rest may take and eat; Sooner or later, all transform Their blood to wine, their flesh to meat. But Man alone seeks Vengefulness, And writes his abstract Laws on stone; For this false Justice he has made, He tortures limb and crushes bone. Is this the image of a god? My tooth for yours, your eye for mine? Oh, if Revenge did move the stars Instead of Love, they would not shine.

• By the Angel," Jace said, looking the demon up and down. "I knew Greater Demons were meant to be ugly, but no one ever warned me about the smell." Abbadon opened its mouth and hissed.

• I stood on my toes and stole a soft kiss from his lips. "Surprise attack," I said. Sam leaned down and kissed me back, his mouth lingering on mine, teeth grazing my lower lip, making me shiver. "Surprise attack back." "Sneaky," I said, my voice breathier than I intended.

• Le lancé una bola de fuego mientras buscaba un tesoro después de acabar con una banda de orcos, jugando a piedra, papel o tijera con cada orco para determinar quién prevalecería en combate. Esto es mucho más emocionante de lo que parece. Es bastante civilizado, y un poco raro. Vas corriendo detrás de alguien por el bosque, lo alcanzas, le enseñas los dientes y te sientas a jugar un poco al roshambo.

• Te encontrarás entre la gente. No hay ayuda para esto ni deberías desearlo de otro modo. Los pasadizos donde nadie espera son oscuros y difíciles de recorrer. Las paredes húmedas te tocan los hombros a cada lado. Cuando los árboles estaban allí me importaba que estuvieran. Y ahora que ya no están, ¿acaso importa? Los pasajes donde nadie espera continúan y no prometen un final. Te encontrarás entre gente, Caras, ropa, dientes y pelo y palabras, y muchas palabras Cuando había vida, dije que la vida estaba mal. ¿Qué digo ahora? ¿Entiendes?

• The horse grunted softly. He had huge teeth, Clary noticed uneasily; each one the size of a Pez dispenser. She imagined those teeth sinking into her leg and thought of all the girls she'd known in middle school who'd wanted ponies of their own. She wondered if they were insane.

• It was hard to feel the right emotions at the right times. They didn’t come at all when you set a place for them, and they sacked when you weren’t ready, when you were just innocently flossing your teeth, for example, or eating a bowl of cereal.

• His face set in grim determination, Richard slogged ahead, his fingers reaching up to touch the tooth under his shirt. Loneliness, deeper than he had never known, sagged his shoulders. All his friends were lost to him. He knew now that his life was not his own. It belonged to his duty, to his task. He was the Seeker. Nothing more. Nothing less. Not his own man, but a pawn to be used by others. A tool, same as his sword, to help others, that they might have the life he had only glimpsed for a twinkling. He was no different from the dark things in the boundary. A bringer of death.

• Hay algunos perros que, cuando los conoces, te recuerdan que, a pesar de miles de años de evolución creada por el hombre, a cada perro le faltan sólo dos comidas para ser un lobo. Estos perros avanzan deliberadamente, con un propósito, el desierto hecho carne, sus dientes amarillos, su aliento apestoso, mientras en la distancia sus dueños parlotean: "Es un viejo sentimental de verdad, sólo hay que empujarlo si molesta", y en el verde de sus ojos brillan y parpadean las hogueras rojas del Pleistoceno.
