• Es en virtud de sus propios deseos y curiosidades que cualquier hombre sigue existiendo con paciencia uniforme, que se siente encantado por el aspecto de las cosas y de las personas, y que se despierta cada mañana con un apetito renovado por el trabajo y el placer. El deseo y la curiosidad son los dos ojos a través de los cuales ve el mundo con los colores más encantados... y el hombre puede dilapidar su hacienda y llegar a la mendicidad, pero si conserva estos dos amuletos sigue siendo rico en posibilidades de placer.

• Uh... ," Ivy stammered, and I glanced up to see her eyes wide in consideration. "I'm kidding," I said. "It passed the lethal-amulet test, remember?" "Not that. You keep it in your underwear drawer?" I hesitated, wondering why I was embarrassed. "Well, where do you put your elven magic?" I asked.

• El soldado está convencido de que se le concede un cierto plazo indefinidamente prorrogable antes de que lo maten, el ladrón antes de que lo atrapen, los hombres en general, antes de que deban morir. Ese es el amuleto que preserva a los individuos -y a veces a las poblaciones- no del peligro, sino del miedo al peligro, en realidad de la creencia en el peligro, que en algunos casos les permite afrontarlo sin ser valientes. Esa confianza, igual de infundada, sostiene al amante que cuenta con una reconciliación, con una carta.

  Marcel Proust

• Me veo como un dibujo animado que va camino de convertirse en una persona real que tiene que encontrar ese amuleto o seta especial para llegar al siguiente reino o nivel. No siento que nada sea tan tangible. Me asusta por qué me siento infeliz o en conflicto y por qué eso puede cambiar en un instante. Me siento muy maniático ahora mismo, pero estoy seguro de dónde estoy.

• Then why does Kenneth Anger wear a picture locket on a chain around his neck? On one side of the locket there is a picture of you; on the other there is an image of a frog with an inscription: "Bobby Beausoleil changed into a frog by Kenneth Anger." A voodoo amulet, so to say.

• La Cábala es de dos clases, teórica y práctica, con la Cábala práctica, que se dedica a la construcción de talismanes y amuletos, no tenemos nada que ver. La teórica se divide en lineal y dogmática. La dogmática no es más que el resumen de la doctrina metafísica enseñada por los doctores cabalistas. Es, en otras palabras, el sistema de la filosofía judía.

• Not only in peasant homes, but also in city skyscrapers, there lives alongside the twentieth century, the thirteenth. A hundred million people use electricity and still believe in the magic powers of signs and exorcisms . . . movie stars to mediums. Aviators who pilot miraculous mechanisms created by man's genius wear amulets on their sweaters. What inexhaustible reserves they possess of darkness, ignorance and savagery!

• El título de cristiano es un reproche para nosotros, si nos distanciamos de Aquel por quien nos denominamos. El nombre de Jesús no debe ser para nosotros, como el Alá de los Mahometanos, un talismán o un amuleto para llevar en el brazo, como una insignia externa meramente y símbolo de nuestra profesión, y para preservarnos del mal por alguna potencia misteriosa e ininteligible; sino que debe estar grabado profundamente en el corazón, allí escrito por el dedo de Dios mismo en caracteres eternos.

• When Catholicism goes bad it becomes the world-old, world-wide religio of amulets and holy places and priestcraft. Protestantism,in its corresponding decay, becomes a vague mist of ethical platitudes. Catholicism is accused of being too much like all the other religions; Protestantism of being insufficiently like a religion at all. Hence Plato, with his transcendent Forms, is the doctor of Protestants; Aristotle, with his immanent Forms, the doctor of Catholics.

• St. Andrews provided a gentle forgetfulness over the preceding painful years of my life. It remains a haunting and lovely time to me, a marrow experience. For one who during her undergraduate years was trying to escape an inexplicable weariness and despair, St. Andrews was an amulet against all manner of longing and loss, a year of gravely held but joyous remembrances.

• The quasi-peaceable gentleman of leisure, then, not only consumes of the staff of life beyond the minimum required for subsistence and physical efficiency, but his consumption also undergoes a specialisation as regards the quality of the goods consumed. He consumes freely and of the best, in food, drink, narcotics, shelter, services, ornaments, apparel, weapons and accoutrements, amusements, amulets, and idols or divinities.

• I lost the conviction that lights would always turn green for me, the pleasant certainty that those rather passive virtues which had won me approval as a child automatically guaranteed me not only Phi Beta Kappa keys but happiness, honor, and the love of a good man; lost a certain touching faith in the totem power of good manners, clean hair, and a proven competence on the Stanford-Binet scale. To such doubtful amulets had my self-respect been pinned, and I faced myself that day with the non-plused apprehension of someone who has come across a vampire and has no crucifix at hand.
