• Para mí, lo más asombroso del mar es la marea. Un puerto como St. Ives se transforma totalmente en muy poco tiempo con la llegada o salida del mar.

• You are quite, quite wrong if you think that ... I find your happiness painful. What matters is that happiness - the golden day - should exist in the world, not much to whom it comes. For all of us it is so transitory a thing, how could one not draw joy from its arrival?

  Winifred Holtby

• Como he oído, desde mi llegada a este lugar, un relato circunstancial de mi muerte y de mi último discurso, aprovecho esta temprana oportunidad para contradecir el primero y para aseguraros que todavía no he compuesto el segundo. Pero, por las omnipotentes disposiciones de la Providencia, he sido protegido más allá de toda probabilidad o expectativa humana, pues recibí cuatro balas a través de mi abrigo, y dos caballos disparados debajo de mí, y sin embargo escapé ileso, ¡aunque la muerte estaba arrasando a mis compañeros por todos lados!

• Tienes tiempo. Lo que significa que no lo utilices, sino que pases el tiempo con paciencia, esperando que algo llegue. Prepárate para su llegada. No corras a su encuentro. Sé un conducto.

• El futuro resulta ser algo que haces en lugar de encontrar. No está esperando tu llegada, ni con una orden de arresto ni con una banda, ni está más lejos que la siguiente frase, la siguiente mejor suposición, el siguiente boceto para pintar el retrato de una vida que podría convertirse en una obra maestra. El futuro es un lienzo vacío o una hoja de papel en blanco, y si tienes el valor de tu propio pensamiento y tu propia observación, puedes hacer de él lo que quieras.

• As my wise friend Didi has more than once observed about life's passages, every departure entails an arrival elsewhere, every arrival implies a departure from afar.

• Nos estableceremos en Palestina tanto si os gusta como si no... Podéis acelerar nuestra llegada o podéis igualmente retrasarla. Sin embargo, es mejor que nos ayudéis para evitar que nuestro poder constructivo se convierta en un poder destructivo que derroque al mundo.

• No espero la inspiración. De hecho, no estoy muy seguro de lo que es la inspiración, pero estoy seguro de que si va a aparecer, que yo haya empezado a trabajar es la condición previa para su llegada.

• Any experience deeply felt makes some men better and some men worse. When it has ended, they share nothing but the recollection of a commitment in which each was tested and to some degree found wanting. [...] The consequences of the journey change the voyager so much more than the embarking or the arrival.

• La cuestión que decidirá nuestro destino no es si nos expandiremos hacia el espacio. Es: ¿seremos una especie o un millón? Un millón de especies no agotará los nichos ecológicos que esperan la llegada de la inteligencia.

• It is okay to be an outsider, a recent arrival, new on the scene - and not just okay, but something to be thankful for. ... Because being an insider can so easily mean collapsing the horizons, can so easily mean accepting the presumptions of your province.

• To have regret is to be disappointed with yourself and your choices. Those who are wise, see their life like stepping stones across a great river. Everyone misses a stone from time to time. No one can cross the river without getting wet. Success is measured by your arrival on the other side, not on how muddy your shoes are. Regrets are only felt by those who do not understand life’s purpose. They become so disillusioned that they stand still in the river and do not take the next leap.

• To be alive means to live in a world that proceeded one’s own arrival and will survive one’s own departure. On this level of sheer being alive, appearance and disappearance, as they follow upon each other, are the primordial events, which as such mark out time, the time span between birth and death.

• A good story is alive, ever changing and growing as it meets each listener or reader in a spirited and unique encounter, while the moralistic tale is not only dead on arrival, it's already been embalmed. It's safer that way. When a lively story goes dancing out to meet the imagination of a child, the teller loses control over meaning. The child gets to decide what the story means.

• Ronaldinho was responsible for the change in Barça. It was a bad time and the change that came about with his arrival was amazing. In the first year, he didn't win anything but people fell in love with him. Then the trophies started coming and he made all those people happy. Barça should always be grateful for everything he did.

• One nonabsolute number is the given time of arrival, which is now known to be one of the most bizarre of mathematical concepts, a number whose existence can only be defined as being anything other than itself. In other words, the given time of arrival is the one moment of time at which it is impossible that any member of the party will arrive.
