• Una vida sencilla no es ver con qué poco podemos arreglárnoslas -eso es pobreza-, sino con qué eficacia podemos poner lo primero en primer lugar. . . . Cuando tienes claro tu propósito y tus prioridades, puedes descartar sin dolor todo lo que no las apoye, ya sea el desorden de tus armarios o los compromisos de tu calendario. (148)

• The rules say that to tell a story you need first of all a measuring stick, a calendar, you have to calculate how much time has passed between you and the facts, the emotions to be narrated.

• Christians have created a holiday that has become a beast that cannot be fed. Christmas gets longer and longer and longer, and you don't care, do you? You just take more and more of the calendar for yourself. It's unbelievable. How long does it take you people to shop? It's beyond belief. It's insane. When I was a kid, Halloween was Halloween, and Santa wasn't poking his ass into it.

  Lewis Black

• I had two cups of coffee, put Eric's jeans in the washer, read a romance for awhile, and studied my brand-new Word of the Day calendar, a Christmas gift from Arlene. My first word of the New Year was 'exsanguinate.' This was probably not a good omen.

• It was somehow degrading, craving someone so... voraciously - another good calendar word - just because he was physically beautiful. I hadn't thought that was something women did, either.

• I sometimes subscribe to the belief that all historical events occur simultaneously, like a dream in the mind of God. Perhaps it is only man who views time sequentially and tries to impose a solar calendar upon it. What if other people, both dead and unborn, are living out their lives in the same space we occupy, without our knowledge or consent?" The Glass Rainbow, p. 138

• Someone else has to be disseminating it. (Mark) Dis-a what? (Nick) Disseminating. It means distributing it. (Mark) Then why didn’t you say that? (Nick) Remind me to get him a word-of-the-day calendar. (Mark)

• La vida encierra un gran misterio, pero bastante común. Aunque compartido por cada uno de nosotros y conocido por todos, rara vez merece un segundo pensamiento. Ese misterio, que la mayoría damos por sentado y en el que nunca pensamos dos veces, es el tiempo. Los calendarios y los relojes existen para medir el tiempo, pero eso significa poco porque todos sabemos que una hora puede parecer una eternidad o pasar en un instante, según cómo la empleemos. El tiempo es la vida misma, y la vida reside en el corazón humano.

  Michael Ende

• He aquí que el necio dice: "No pongas todos los huevos en la misma cesta", que no es más que decir: "Dispersa tu dinero y tu atención"; pero el sabio dice: "Pon todos los huevos en la misma cesta y - VIGILA ESA CESTA". - Calendario de Pudd'nhead Wilson

• Before we invented civilization our ancestors lived mainly in the open out under the sky. Before we devised artificial lights and atmospheric pollution and modern forms of nocturnal entertainment we watched the stars. There were practical calendar reasons of course but there was more to it than that. Even today the most jaded city dweller can be unexpectedly moved upon encountering a clear night sky studded with thousands of twinkling stars. When it happens to me after all these years it still takes my breath away.

• My own view on religion is that of Lucretius. I regard it as a disease born of fear and as a source of untold misery to the human race. I cannot, however, deny that it has made some contributions to civilisation. It helped in early days to fix the calendar, and it caused Egyptian priests to chronicle eclipses with such care that in time they became able to predict them. These two services I am prepared to acknowledge, but I do not know of any others.

• Si la edad de la Tierra fuera un año natural y el día de hoy fuera un suspiro antes de la medianoche de Nochevieja, habríamos aparecido hace apenas quince minutos, y toda la historia registrada habría parpadeado en los últimos sesenta segundos. Por suerte para nosotros, nuestros compañeros de planeta -el fantástico entramado de plantas, animales y microbios- llevan perfeccionando pacientemente sus productos desde marzo, unos increíbles 3.800 millones de años desde la primera bacteria. ...Tras 3.800 millones de años de investigación y desarrollo, los fracasos son fósiles, y lo que nos rodea es el secreto de la supervivencia.

• I have now been an officer in this Church for a very long time. I am an old man who cannot deny the calendar. I have lived long enough and served in enough different capacities to have removed from my mind, if such were necessary, any doubt of the divinity of this, the work of God. We respect those of other churches. We desire their friendship and hope to render meaningful service with them. We know they all do good, but we unabashedly state—and this frequently brings criticism upon us—that this is the true and living Church of our Father in Heaven and His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.

  Gordon B. Hinckley

• Humanity will continue, but in a different way. Material structures will change. From this we will have the opportunity to be more human. We are living in the most important era of the Mayan calendars and prophecies. All the prophecies of the world, all the traditions are converging now. There is no time for games. The spiritual ideal of this era is action.

• I don't drive, so one of my assistants drives me to my writing room, and I have a calendar on the wall telling me how much time I have left, and how far behind I am. I look at it and panic, and decide which scene to work on. And you sit there plonking notes until something makes sense, and you don't think about it any more. Good tunes come when you're not thinking about it.

• Las estaciones del corazón rara vez coinciden con el calendario. ¿Quién de nosotros no se ha sentido desolado más allá de toda palabra en algún día dorado en que las pequeñas criaturas del aire y de la pradera eran la vida encarnada, de pura alegría de vivir? ¿Quién de nosotros no ha vuelto a casa, cantando, cuando las calles estaban casi intransitables por la nieve, o se ha encontrado con un amigo de rostro feliz y sonriente, en medio de una lluvia torrencial?
