• Hay una cierta dosis de estupidez de la que el escritor de ficción difícilmente puede prescindir, y es la cualidad de tener que mirar fijamente, de no captar el punto de inmediato. Cuanto más tiempo se mira un objeto, más del mundo se ve en él; y es bueno recordar que el escritor de ficción serio siempre escribe sobre el mundo entero.

• In the face of all that is so wrong with the world, the very worst thing you can do is survive. And yet you must survive. It is this dilemma that makes us believe and cling to the lie that we have a soul, and that there is a God who cares about its fate.

• You say often you wish a library; here I gif you one; for between these two lids (he meant covers) is many books in one. Read him well, and he will help you much; for the study of character in this book will help you to read it in the world, and paint it with your pen.

• It was the kind of promise a father makes easily and sincerely, knowing at the same time that it will be impossible to keep. The truth of some promises is not as important as whether or not you can believe in them, with all your heart. A game of baseball can't really make a summer day last forever. A home run can't really heal all the broken places in our world, or in a single human heart. And there was no way that Mr. Feld could keep his promise never to leave Ethan again. All parents leave their children one day.

• Si [la animación dibujada a mano] es un oficio en extinción, no podemos hacer nada al respecto. La civilización avanza. ¿Dónde están ahora los pintores de frescos? ¿Dónde están los paisajistas? ¿Qué hacen ahora? El mundo está cambiando. He tenido la suerte de poder hacer el mismo trabajo durante 40 años. Eso es raro en cualquier época.

• Personally I am very pessimistic. But when, for instance, one of my staff has a baby you can't help but bless them for a good future. Because I can't tell that child, 'Oh, you shouldn't have come into this life.' And yet I know the world is heading in a bad direction. So with those conflicting thoughts in mind, I think about what kind of films I should be making.

• from the complications of loving you i think there is no end or return. no answer, no coming out of it. which is the only way to love, isn't it? this isn't a playground, this is earth, our heaven, for a while. therefore i have given precedence to all my sudden, sullen, dark moods that hold you in the center of my world. and i say to my body: grow thinner still. and i say to my fingers, type me a pretty song. and i say to my heart: rave on.
