• El ajedrez es una cosa, pero si llegamos al punto de que los ordenadores pueden superar a los humanos en las artes -esas espléndidas expresiones milenarias del corazón y el alma de la existencia humana-, entonces ¿para qué molestarse en existir? para producir arte humano, un ordenador tendría que encontrar, sentir, absorber la realidad hasta el punto de superarla, hasta el punto de sollozar para liberarse. Un ordenador podría replicar todas las posibilidades, pero nunca podría transferir la energía que el arte necesita para existir.

  Jonny Lee Miller

• I used to do miserably in English literature, which I thought was a sign of moral turpitude. As I look back on it, I think it was rather to my credit. The notion of actually putting writers' words into other words is quite ridiculous because why bother if writers mean what they mean, and if they don't, why read them? There is, I suppose, a case for studying literary works in depth, but I don't quite know what 'in depth' means unless you read a paragraph over and over again.

• You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down... So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. In climbing, take careful note of the difficulties along your way; for as you go up , you can observe them. Coming down, you will no longer see them, but you will know they are there if you have observed them well.

• I utterly reject the view that the Third World is doomed to poverty and starvation. Not only is this wrong, I think this attitude verges on the immoral, like thinking that slavery is an unalterable facet of the human condition so why bother doing anything about it?

• The mystery lies in the here and now. The mystery is: What is one to do with oneself? As you get older you begin to realize the trick time is playing, and that unless you do something about it, the passage of time is nothing but the encroachment of the horrible banality of the past on the pure future. The past devours the future like a tape recorder, converting pure possibility into banality. The present is the tape head, the mouth of time. Then where is the mystery and why bother kicking through the ashes? Because there is a clue in the past.

• Cuando terminaba un libro, me sentía perpetuamente desconsolada, me deslizaba desde mi posición sentada en la cama, apoyaba la mejilla en la almohada y suspiraba durante largo rato. Parecía que nunca habría otro libro. Todo había terminado, el libro estaba muerto. Yacía en su cubierta doblada junto a mi mano. ¿De qué servía? ¿Para qué molestarme en arrastrar el peso de mi pequeño cuerpo hasta la cena? ¿Para qué moverme? ¿Para qué respirar? El libro me había abandonado y no había razón para seguir.

• No puedes quedarte en la cima para siempre; tienes que volver a bajar. Entonces, ¿por qué molestarse? Sólo por esto: Lo que está arriba sabe lo que está abajo, pero lo que está abajo no sabe lo que está arriba. Se sube, se ve. Se desciende, ya no se ve, pero se ha visto. Hay un arte de conducirse en las regiones inferiores por el recuerdo de lo que uno vio más arriba. Cuando ya no se ve, al menos se sabe.

• Pasada la una. Debes haberte ido a la cama. La Vía Láctea fluye plateada a través de la noche. No tengo prisa; con telegramas relámpago no tengo motivos para despertarte o molestarte. Y, como dicen, el incidente está cerrado. El barco del amor se ha estrellado contra la rutina diaria. Ahora tú y yo estamos en paz. Para qué molestarse entonces En equilibrar penas, dolores y heridas mutuas. Contempla qué tranquilidad se instala en el mundo. La noche envuelve el cielo en tributo de las estrellas. En horas como éstas, uno se levanta para dirigirse a las edades, a la historia y a toda la creación.
