• Lo que siento es que soy una tarea más en la agenda de Dios: El Renacimiento está previsto para después de la Edad Media. La Era de la Información está programada inmediatamente después de la Revolución Industrial. Luego la Era Posmoderna, luego Los Cuatro Jinetes del Apocalipsis. Hambruna. Ya está. La peste. Verificado. Guerra. Jaque. Muerte. Comprobado. Y entre los grandes acontecimientos, los terremotos y los maremotos, Dios me ha hecho un hueco para un cameo. Entonces, tal vez en treinta años, o tal vez el próximo año, el planificador diario de Dios me tiene terminado.

  Chuck Palahniuk

• The meditative angler is not exempt from sensational periods. There are times when all the uncertainty of his chosen pursuit seems to condense itself into one big chance, and stand out before him like a salmon on the top wave of a rapid. He sees his luck hangs by a single strand of gut, and he cannot tell whether it will hold or break. This is the thrilling moment and he never forgets it.

• A great wave of humiliation and shame swept over me. Shame that I belonged to a race that could be so dealt with; and shame for my country, that it, the great example of democracy to the world, should be the only civilized, if not the only state on earth, where a human being would be burned alive.

• A surfer is poised on a wave on his board, cutting quickly to the left. He'll always be there, in that moment. He's never left it. He had no birth, he didn't go to school, he didn't purchase the board; none of those things ever were.

• I've never stopped loving the game since day one. If it were a job to me it would be very hard for me to get up in the morning. And why leave something that you can never come back to? Realistically, whether you accept it or not, you only get one wave in this journey. Run at it as hard as you can.

• Surfing is so unique and it's something that no matter what level you are, you can go and have fun. You can pick and choose the waves that you want to surf, so if it is too big and scary, you can wait until it changes and gets more to your level. Every time you go out it's always different and unique. It's almost like a place you can just de-stress.

• El surf es muy especial y único. Es muy difícil de explicar a menos que lo hayas probado. Es estar en el océano, al sol, con el agua en la piel y la adrenalina de coger una ola. Hay que ser creativo, así que en cierto modo es como una forma de arte.

• I started with [Leo] Tolstoy and I was overwhelmed. Tolstoy writes like an ocean, in huge, rolling waves, and it doesn't look like it was processed through his thinking. It feels very natural. You don't question whether Tolstoy's right or wrong. His philosophy is housed in interrelating characters, so it's not up for grabs.

• We are the bird's eggs. Bird's eggs, flowers, butterflies, rabbits, cows, sheep, we are caterpillars; we are leaves of ivy and springs of wildflower. We are women. We rise from the wave. We are gazelle and doe, elephant and whale, lilies and roses and peach, we are air, we are flame, we are oyster and pearl, we are girls. We are woman and nature. And he says he cannot hear us speak. But we hear.

• No nos regocijemos en el castigo, aunque sólo lo inflija la mano de Dios. Los mejores de nosotros no somos más que pobres desgraciados que acaban de salvarse de un naufragio. ¿Podemos sentir algo más que admiración y piedad cuando vemos a un compañero de viaje tragado por las olas?

• A life without an objective is much like a ship at sea with no port in mind. It drifts with the waves or storms, or with the whim of the captain. They are tempted to ask, amidst the battles of life, "Is the struggle worth-while?" That attitude lessens the joy of living. They who say that there is no purpose in life are not unhappy, but become dangerous to themselves and others, for they have no safe guide for their actions. Indeed, life has not objective save physical satisfactions, it is empty and valueless.
