• She was terrific to hold hands with. Most girls if you hold hands with them, their goddam hand dies on you, or else they think they have to keep moving their hand all the time, as if they were afraid they'd bore you or something. Jane was different. We'd get into a goddam movie or something, and right away we'd start holding hands, and we wouldn't quit till the movie was over. And without changing the position or making a big deal out of it. You never even worried, with Jane, whether your hand was sweaty or not. All you knew was, you were happy. You really were.

• We should all know this: that listening is not talking; [it] is the gifted and great role and the imaginative role. And the true listener is much more beloved, magnetic than the talker, and he is more effective, and learns more and does more good. And so try listening. Listen to your wife, your husband, your father, your mother, your children, your friends; to those who love you and those who don't, to those who bore you, to your enemies. It will work a small miracle. And perhaps a great one.

• The return from your work must be the satisfaction which that work brings you and the world's need of that work. With this, life is heaven, or as near heaven as you can get. Without this - with work which you despise, which bores you, and which the world does not need - this life is hell.

  W. E. B. Du Bois

• Un día, no tienes ganas de hacer nada. Nada te interesa, todo te aburre. Te sientes cada vez más vacío por dentro, más insatisfecho contigo mismo y con el mundo en general. Luego, incluso esa sensación desaparece y ya no sientes nada. Te vuelves completamente indiferente a lo que ocurre a tu alrededor... Te olvidas de reír y llorar, tienes frío por dentro y eres incapaz de amar a nada ni a nadie... No hay vuelta atrás... La enfermedad tiene un nombre. Se llama tedio mortal.

  Michael Ende

• I don't mind people putting us down, because if everybody really liked us, it would be a bore. You've got to have people putting you down. It doesn't give any edge to it if everybody just falls flat on their face saying, "You're great." We enjoy some of the criticisms as well, they're quite funny; some of the clever criticisms, not the ones that don't know anything, but some of the clever ones are quite fun.

  John Lennon
