N.D. Wilson Citas

• A veces, oponerse al mal es más importante que derrotarlo. Los grandes héroes se levantan porque es justo hacerlo, no porque crean que saldrán con vida. Esa valentía desinteresada es una victoria en sí misma.

• No resientas tu lugar en la historia. No te imagines en otro lugar. No cierres los ojos e imagines un mundo sin espinas, sin sombras, sin halcones. Cambia este mundo. Utiliza tu cuerpo como una herramienta destinada a ser usada, desechada y reemplazada. Mejora cada vida que toques. Llegaremos al capítulo final. Cuando tengamos ojos que puedan mirar fijamente al sol, ojos que sólo entrecierren los ojos para el Shenikah, entonces veremos niños riendo que tiran de las cobras por la cola, y halcones y conejos que juegan al pilla-pilla.

• The world is rated R, and no one is checking IDs. Do not try to make it G by imagining the shadows away. Do not try to hide your children from the world forever, but do not pretend there is no danger . Train them. Give them sharp eyes and bellies full of laughter. Make them dangerous. Make them yeast, and when they’ve grown, they will pollute the shadows.

• Dios es el Dios de las galaxias, de las tormentas, de los mares rugientes y de los truenos hirvientes, pero también es el Dios del pan horneándose, de la sonrisa de un niño, de las motas de polvo en el sol. Él es quien es, y siempre lo será. Mira a tu alrededor. Él habla siempre y en todas partes. Su personalidad puede verse, conocerse y apoyarse en ella. El sol eructa llamaradas mientras las montañas raspan nuestro cielo mientras las hormigas ordeñan pulgones en sus hojas coloniales y los delfines ríen en el oleaje y el trigo ondula y el viento azota y un niño mira a los ojos de una niña y los mortales mueren.

• Lay your life down. Your heartbeats cannot be hoarded. Your reservoir of breaths is draining away. You have hands, blister them while you can. You have bones, make them strain - they can carry nothing in the grave. You have lungs, let them spill with laughter.

• To love is to be selfless. To be selfless is to be fearless. To be fearless is to strip your enemies of their greatest weapon. Even if they break our bodies and drain our blood, we are unvanquished. Our goal was never to live; our goal is to love. It is the goal of all truly noble men and women. Give all that can be given. Give even your life itself.

• Imagina un poema escrito con palabras tridimensionales tan enormes que tuviéramos que inventar una palabra más pequeña para referirnos a cada una de las grandes; que tuviéramos que reescribirlo todo en taquigrafía, aplastándolo en dos dimensiones, sólo para hablar de él. O no te lo imagines. Mira fuera. El lenguaje humano es nuestro intento de navegar por el lenguaje de Dios; somos nosotros corriendo entre las líneas de su epopeya, trepando por las vocales y construyendo casas con las consonantes.

• Do you dislike your role in the story, your place in the shadow? What complaints do you have that the hobbits could not have heaved at Tolkien? You have been born into a narrative, you have been given freedom. Act, and act well until you reach your final scene.

• We grasp because God does. We create, and fall short, because God does. We continue creating because we fell short, and fall short again, because God does. Because one act of creation, one attempt at capture, is only one breath and we must breathe again. And again. And again. Here we stand (and sit and sleep), the many images of the Imager, and we can do no other.

• Ya que estamos hablando de honestidad, puedo admitir que me han influido más (como persona) mis lecturas infantiles de Tolkien y Lewis que los filósofos que leí en la universidad y el posgrado. Los acontecimientos y personajes de Narnia y la Tierra Media dieron forma a mis ideales, mis sueños, mis metas. Kant simplemente me molestaba.

• In this story, the sun moves. In this story, every night meets a dawn and burns away in the bright morning. In this story, Winter can never hold back the Spring... He is the best of all possible audiences, the only Audience to see every scene, the Author who became a Character and heaped every shadow on Himself. The Greeks were right. Live in fear of a grinding end and a dank hereafter. Unless you know a bigger God, or better yet, are related to Him by blood.

• Every rock is spoon by the Word. Every time I touch a stone, I am touching the Voice of God. Every cell of me is crafted by that artistry. My life is His breath. But we mortals grow numb. We want to feel more. And so we add MSG to our earthly brands of holiness.
