• Pero creo que es importante hablar de lo fácil que es para cualquiera de nosotros quedar atrapados en cosas que podrían parecer impensables, caer en el entorno equivocado y hacer concesiones morales que pueden empañarnos terriblemente. Nos gusta pensar que cambiamos nuestro entorno, pero la verdad es que es él quien nos cambia a nosotros. Por eso tenemos que ser muy cuidadosos a la hora de elegir el entorno adecuado: trabajar con las personas adecuadas e incluso relacionarnos con ellas. Lo ideal es que nos acerquemos a personas que son mejores que nosotros para parecernos más a ellas.

• Conversación. Frases ágiles, con primera y segunda acepciones y más allá, desafíos escandalosos con deslices hábilmente planeados, refutaciones de elegante brevedad; engaños y guiles, pacientes explicaciones de lo obvio, fugaces alusiones a lo impensable. Como paso previo, el conversador debe calibrar el estado de ánimo, la inteligencia y la facilidad verbal de la compañía. Para ello, unas pocas palabras de exposición pedante suelen resultar inestimables.

• There is a hidden epidemic threatening the lives of millions of Americans...hunger. In this land of plenty, it is unthinkable that fellow citizens are going hungry. Included among these millions are children who, due to malnourishment, are not developing to their full potential intellectually, emotionally or behaviorally. The fortunate must provide for the unfortunate.

• To engage human energy, human skill, and human talent in the service of peace, for the alternative is unthinkable - war, destruction, and desolation; and to build a world community which will stand as a lasting monument to the millions of men and women, to such devoted and distinguished world citizens and fighters for peace as the late Dag Hammarskjöld, who have given their lives that we may live in happiness and peace.

• The engine roared to life. He ran toward her. She shot our of her parking space. He rushed to the side of her car. "Stop it, Kristy! You're overreacting! Let's talk about this."

• What is the meaning of it, Watson? said Holmes solemnly as he laid down the paper. "What object is served by this circle of misery and violence and fear?

There is the great standing perennial problem to which human reason is as far from an answer as ever.

• But deep down she said to herself, Franz maybe strong, but his strength is directed outward; when it comes to the people he lives with, the people he's loves, he's weak. Franz's weakness is called goodness. Franz would never give Sabina orders. He would never command her, as Tomas had, to lay the mirror on the floor and walk back and forth on it naked. Not that he lacks sensuality; he simply lacks the strength to give orders. There are things that can be accomplished only by violence. Physical love is unthinkable without violence.

• They all broke the rules. They all crossed into forbidden territory. They all tampered with the laws that lay down who should be loved and how. And how much. The laws that make grandmothers grandmothers, uncles uncles, mothers mothers, cousins cousins, jam jam, and jelly jelly. It was a time when uncles became fathers, mothers lovers, and cousins died and had funerals. It was a time when the unthinkable became thinkable and the impossible really happened.

• She wanted to say, no. She wanted to say, I have a son, there is a child, this cannot happen. Because you know that no one will ever love them like you do. You know that no one will look after them like you do. You know that it's an impossibility, it's unthinkable that you could be taken away, that you will have to leave them behind.

• What makes a nightmare nightmarish is the sense that something is happening that should not be. While nightmares are the most convenient reference point for this sense of the impossible, the unthinkable, as something that is actually happening, it is not restricted to our sleeping hours.

• Economic medicine that was previously meted out by the cupful has recently been dispensed by the barrel. These once unthinkable dosages will almost certainly bring on unwelcome after-effects. Their precise nature is anyone's guess, though one likely consequence is an onslaught of inflation.
