Calluses Quotes

• Vi a un hombre pequeño con gruesos callos en ambas manos trabajar 15 y 16 horas al día. Una vez le vi sangrar literalmente por la planta de los pies, un hombre que llegó aquí sin educación, solo, incapaz de hablar el idioma, que me enseñó todo lo que necesitaba saber sobre la fe y el trabajo duro con la simple elocuencia de su ejemplo.

  Mario Cuomo

• It hurts, but that’s all it does. The most difficult part of the training is training your mind. You build calluses on your feet to endure the road. You build calluses on your mind to endure the pain. There’s only one way to do that. You have to get out there and run.

  David Goggins

• The string slices into the skin of his fingers and no matter how tough the calluses, it tears. But this beat is fast and even though his joints are aching, his arm's out of control like it has a mind of its own and the sweat tat drenches his hair and face seems to smother him, but nothing's going to stop Tom. He;s aiming for oblivion.

• The only legitimate use for a glove is to cover an injury... A desire to prevent callus formation (possibly so as to not snag one's pantyhose) does not constitute a legitimate use. And if you do insist on wearing gloves, make sure they match your purse.

• Have you ever been anyone's?" I ask, a feathery whisper in the quiet bedroom. He lifts his head to mine, and I want him so bad I feel consumed inside, like he's already possessed my soul, and now my soul aches for him to possess my body. A powerful emotion tightens his features as he reaches out to cradle my cheek in his big hand, and there's an unexpected fierceness in his eyes, in his touch, as he cups me. "No. And you?" The calluses in his palm rasp on my skin, and I find myself tucking my cheek deeper into them. "I've never wanted to." "Neither have I." The moment is intimate.

• Para aprender a tocar su instrumento, el guitarrista tarda semanas en desarrollar callosidades en las yemas de los dedos; el saxofonista tarda meses en fortalecer el labio para poder tocar su instrumento sólo durante cinco minutos; el pianista puede tardar años en desarrollar la coordinación de dos manos y varios dedos. ¿Por qué los escritores suponen que pueden "escribir" sin ningún tipo de formación, y luego esperan, en su primer intento, ser publicados internacionalmente? ¿Qué les hace pensar que son intrínsecamente mucho mejores, que necesitan mucha menos formación que otros artistas?

• Todo es un autorretrato. Un diario. Toda tu historia de drogas está en un mechón de tu pelo. Tus uñas. Los detalles forenses. El revestimiento de tu estómago es un documento. Los callos de tu mano cuentan todos tus secretos. Tus dientes te delatan. Tu acento. Las arrugas alrededor de la boca y los ojos. Todo lo que haces muestra tu mano.

• Escribía poesía constantemente; ése era su "trabajo". Era una poetisa lenta y se esclavizaba a ello durante largas y agotadoras horas, y muchas veces en mitad de la noche podía oírla arrastrándose por la casa muerta con un bolígrafo en una mano, un portapapeles y una linterna en la otra, refinando sus poemas, apuntando las líneas de una idea. Escribir nunca le resultó fácil; le salían callos. Nunca cortejaba a las musas, luchaba con ellas, las maltrataba por toda la casa y, tras semanas de trabajo peripatético, conseguía un delgado soneto spenceriano, catorce líneas de palabrería imaginativa.

• One good thing that comes from living the nomadic life demanded by an expedition is that one sheds the fake skin donned from living too closely among society. For those of us who live for the freedom of such a lifestyle, that skin is dry and itchy and ill fitting. From my observances, that skin is much like a callus caused by the pure irritation of being forced to spend so much time with one's fellow man. Thank God I am spared such nonsense.

• The beauty of my body is not measured by the size of the clothes it can fit into, but by the stories that it tells. I have a belly and hips that say, "We grew a child in here," and breasts that say, "We nourished life." My hands, with bitten nails and a writer's callus, say, "We create amazing things.
