• First they arrested the Communists - but I was not a Communist, so I did nothing. Then they came for the Social Democrats - but was not a Social Democrat, so I did nothing. Then they arrested the trade unionists - and I did nothing because I was not one. And then they came for the Jews and then the Catholics, but I was neither a Jew nor a Catholic and I did nothing. At last they came and arrested me - and there was no one left to do anything about it.

  Martin Niemoller

• Cuántas espinas de la naturaleza humana -protuberancias duras, afiladas, sin vida, que nos desgarran y nos hieren, prejuicios estrechos, engreimientos erizados que nos repelen y nos disgustan- son desarrollos detenidos, tendencias calcificadas, capullos de promesa que deberían haber levantado una rama hacia el día soleado con frutos; y flores para deleitar el corazón de los hombres, pero ahora todas endurecidas, petrificadas, por falta de cultura y de un suelo y un clima agradables.

  John Burroughs

  Flor, Corazón, Hombres

• En el presupuesto que les presentaré, intentaremos hacer más para acelerar la deportación de los extranjeros ilegales detenidos por delitos, para identificar mejor a los extranjeros ilegales en el lugar de trabajo, tal como recomendó la comisión presidida por la ex congresista Barbara Jordan. Somos una nación de inmigrantes. Pero también somos una nación de leyes. Es erróneo y, en última instancia, contraproducente que una nación de inmigrantes permita el tipo de abuso de nuestras leyes de inmigración que hemos visto en los últimos años, y debemos hacer más para detenerlo.

  William J. Clinton

• Enfrentarse a una crítica absolutamente exasperante, a veces resulta útil para la víctima hacer una pequeña investigación personal sobre el crítico. ¿Es cierto el rumor de que no ha recibido educación formal más allá de los once años? En cualquier caso, ¿es capaz de construir una frase sencilla en inglés? ¿Le cuelgan los participios? Cuando se deja llevar por el lirismo, ¿escribe "I had a fun time"? ¿Fue detenido alguna vez por robo? No sé si así demostrará algo, pero es perfectamente inofensivo y bastante tranquilizador.

  Jean Kerr

• Los grandes ladrones siempre se parecen a la gente honrada. A los que tienen cara de pillos sólo les queda un camino: seguir siendo honrados; de lo contrario, los detendrían sin pensárselo dos veces.

• His vision, from the constantly passing bars, has grown so weary that it cannot hold anything else. It seems to him there are a thousand bars, and behind the bars, no world. As he paces in cramped circles, over and over, the movement of his powerful soft strides is like a ritual dance around a center in which a mighty will stands paralyzed. Only at times, the curtain of the pupils lifts, quietly. An image enters in, rushes down through the tense, arrested muscles, plunges into the heart and is gone.

• Maybe there is no Heaven. Or maybe this is all pure gibberish - a product of the demented imagination of a lazy drunken hillbilly with a heart full of hate who has found a way to live out where the real winds blow - to sleep late, have fun, get wild, drink whisky, and drive fast on empty streets with nothing in mind except falling in love and not getting arrested... Res ipsa loquitur. Let the good times roll.

  Hunter S. Thompson

• Humor, to be comprehensible to anybody, must be built upon a foundation with which he is familiar. If he can't see the foundation the superstructure is to him merely a freak -- like the Flatiron building without any visible means of support -- something that ought to be arrested.

In fact, if he thinks enough about the plans that he used to have for young girls, the father not only will support his wife in keeping their daughter home but he might even run over to the mall and have a few of those boys arrested.

• Literalmente, cuando te levantas a las 9 de la mañana en La Habana no sabes dónde estarás al mediodía. Pero es seguro que estarás casado, arrestado o en medio de una increíble transacción en la que alguien te roba el pasaporte o te paga en pesos dominicanos por él, o lo que sea. Es un lugar salvaje.
