• Puedes esperar tanto hacerte más fuerte comiendo siempre, como más sabio leyendo siempre. Demasiado sobrecarga a la Naturaleza, y se convierte más en enfermedad que en alimento. Es el pensamiento y la digestión lo que hace que los libros sean útiles y dan salud y vigor a la mente.

• The city is a fact in nature, like a cave, a run of mackerel or an ant-heap. But it is also a conscious work of art, and it holds within its communal framework many simpler and more personal forms of art. Mind takes form in the city; and in turn, urban forms condition mind.

• Here in the deep powder snow you don't hear yourself ski. You don't hear your long turns or your short turns. You just float. The faster you go, the better. The less you struggle, the better. You move through the deep light snow, through the deep snow with some crust on it, through the deep snow with some wind in it.

• Si inventas a dos o tres personas y las sueltas en tu manuscrito, es inevitable que les ocurra algo: no puedes evitarlo; y luego te llevará el resto del libro sacarlas de las consecuencias naturales de ese suceso, y así, de buenas a primeras, ya tienes tu libro terminado y nunca te ha costado una idea.

• Turn off your cell phone. Honestly, if you want to get work done, you’ve got to learn to unplug. No texting, no email, no Facebook, no Instagram. Whatever it is you’re doing, it needs to stop while you write... A lot of the time (and this is fully goofy to admit), I’ll write with earplugs in - even if it’s dead silent at home.

• Basically, being alive means keeping yourself ready for the sky to fall in on you at any time. If you start from the assumption that existence is only an ordeal, a test we have to pass, then you’re equipped to deal with its sorrows and its surprises. If you persist in expecting it to give you something it can’t give, that just proves that you haven’t understood anything. Take things as they come; don’t turn them into a drama. You’re not piloting the ship, you’re following the course of your destiny.

• Look, it also attempts to poison our children, divide them from their parents and the teaching of the church and basically turn them into pawns for that movement so that they can sexualize them at the earliest possible age. It really is insidious and I agree with you, it is a super sin.

• Una lámpara de techo que coloca un conjunto flotante de grandes guijarros bajo un sencillo y moderno disco de aluminio. Éstos, a su vez, se reflejan entre sí, haciendo rebotar la luz entre sus enseñadas superficies biomórficas y reflejando el entorno que les rodea. Durante el día, la pieza actúa como un objeto escultórico que refleja la dinámica de la luz natural y el movimiento de las personas a su alrededor.

• No siempre hay que llegar al extremo de asesinar a los personajes más queridos, esos giros o imágenes de los que uno se siente orgulloso cuando aparecen en la página, pero hay que volver atrás y mirarlos con lupa. Casi siempre resulta que estarían mejor muertos. (No todas las pequeñas punzadas de satisfacción son sospechosas; hay que tener cuidado con las que equivalen a una especie de regocijo petulante).

• There is no inherent awakening power in cultural forms that have become dissociated from the wisdom and practicality that gave birth to them. They turn into illusions themselves and become part of the drama of religious culture. Although they can make us happy temporarily, they can't free us from suffering, so at some point, they become a source of disappointment and discouragement. Eventually, these forms may inspire nothing more than resistance to their authority.

• Lo último en lo que quiero convertirme es en un gordo imbécil de Hollywood. Me crié sin mucho dinero y fui feliz. No creo que me esfuerce por tener dinero o éxito y acabe siendo avaricioso o cabezón. Eso sólo conduce a la infelicidad. Puedo seguir teniendo los pies en la tierra y hacer este trabajo mientras lo disfrute.

• Can I confess something? I tell you this as an artist, I think you'll understand. Sometimes when I'm driving on the road at night I see two headlights coming toward me. Fast. I have this sudden impulse to turn the wheel quickly, head-on into the oncoming car. I can anticipate the explosion. The sound of shattering glass. The flames rising out of the flowing gasoline.

• I'm an angel. I kill firstborns while their mamas watch. I turn cities into salt. I even, when I feel like it, rip the souls from little girls, and from now till kingdom come, the only thing you can count on in your existence is never understanding why.

• Back in World War II, we viewed the Japanese as 'yellow, slant-eyed dogs' that believed in different gods. They were out to kill us because our way of living was different. We, in turn, wanted to annihilate them because they were different. Does that sound familiar, by any chance, to what's going on today?

• Never again will I allow our political self-interest to deter us from doing what we know to be morally right. Atrocity and terror are not political weapons. And to those who would use them, your day is over. We will never negotiate. We will no longer tolerate and we will no longer be afraid. It's your turn to be afraid.
