  Has fluttered like a bird within my heart;

• I am deeply distressed by what I only can call in our Christian culture the idolatry of the Scriptures. For many Christians, the Bible is not a pointer to God but God himself... God cannot be confined within the covers of a leather-bound book. I develop a nasty rash around people who speak as if mere scrutiny of its pages will reveal precisely how God thinks and precisely what God wants.

• My experience of singing, as an actor, was that there's a different creative feeling of freedom. The acting thing is a bit more defined and cerebral. I can see why people would want to cross over. If you have so much freedom on stage then perhaps you want to be confined a bit, and vice versa.

• We are all sentenced to capital punishment for the crime of living, and though the condemned cell of our earthly existence is but a narrow and bare dwelling-place, we have adjusted ourselves to it, and made it tolerably comfortable for the little while we are to be confined in it.

• Gracias a Dios he superado la colina. El único calor que me queda proviene de los sofocos, mi promiscuidad se limita a las palabras "talla única" y compro mis prendas íntimas de algodón blanco en Boadicea's Retreat, no en Victoria's Secret. Ninguna de las cosas que los hombres hacen a las mujeres podría ocurrirme ahora, a menos que Estados Unidos sea invadido por una de esas nuevas repúblicas rusas cuyos soldados no son quisquillosos.

• Hubo muchas maniobras por parte de la administración Roosevelt para conseguir que las estrellas se alinearan para que ese ataque se produjera. No hay duda de eso; ni siquiera tienes que mirar la decodificación de los cables diplomáticos o cualquier otra cosa. El propio almirante de Roosevelt pensó que era una mala idea tener la flota confinada en un lugar en medio del Pacífico.

• I think we think that parenthood is confined to the country of mothers, but I think a lot of the men I've spoken to and the men who have read my books - I've been surprised by this actually - have a fierce attachment to being parents and to being fathers. And just as we, a lot of women I know, want this, men too want to pass down what they have to pass down.

• La literatura ofrece la emoción de mentes de gran claridad que luchan con los interminables problemas y placeres del ser humano. Comprometerse con ellos es comprometerse con uno mismo, y las recompensas duraderas no se limitan a trayectorias profesionales específicas.

• Cuando considero los estrechos límites dentro de los cuales están confinadas nuestras facultades activas e inquisitivas; cuando veo cómo todas nuestras energías se malgastan en proveer a meras necesidades, que de nuevo no tienen más fin que prolongar una existencia miserable; y luego que toda nuestra satisfacción respecto a ciertos temas de investigación no termina en nada mejor que una resignación pasiva... cuando considero todo esto... guardo silencio.

• Quería comer del fruto de todos los árboles del jardín del mundo... Y así, en efecto, salí, y así viví. Mi único error fue limitarme tan exclusivamente a los árboles de lo que me parecía el lado iluminado por el sol del jardín, y rehuir el otro lado por su sombra y su penumbra.

• When I saw him look at me with lust, I dropped my eyes but, in glancing away from him, I caught sight of myself in the mirror. And I saw myself, suddenly, as he saw me, my pale face, the way the muscles in my neck stuck out like thin wire. I saw how much that cruel necklace became me. And, for the first time in my innocent and confined life, I sensed in myself a potentiality for corruption that took my breath away.

• Taught from their infancy that beauty is woman's sceptre, the mind shapes itself to the body, and, roaming round its gilt cage, only seeks to adorn its prison. Men have various employments and pursuits which engage their attention, and give a character to the opening mind; but women, confined to one, and having their thoughts constantly directed to the most insignificant part of themselves, seldom extend their views beyond the triumph of the hour.

• Todos los que trabajan con cualquier sistema se sienten confinados. Es una reacción natural. Uno está limitado hasta cierto punto. Estás confinado si trabajas en un banco, si pintas. Estás confinado, en cierto sentido, a tu arte: el encierro de tu mente. Todo el mundo debería salir.

• Los verdaderos límites y limitaciones, por los cuales el conocimiento humano está confinado y circunscrito,... son tres: el primero, que no pongamos nuestra felicidad en el conocimiento, de tal manera que olvidemos nuestra mortalidad: el segundo, que hagamos uso de nuestro conocimiento, para darnos reposo y satisfacción, y no angustia o repugnancia: el tercero, que no presumamos por la contemplación de la Naturaleza alcanzar los misterios de Dios.

• Pero antes de que se logren grandes cosas, debe realizarse un cambio memorable en el sistema de Educación y el conocimiento debe generalizarse tanto como para elevar los rangos inferiores de la Sociedad más cerca de los superiores. La Educación de una Nación, en lugar de estar confinada a unas pocas escuelas y Universidades, para la instrucción de unos pocos, debe convertirse en el Cuidado y Gasto Nacional, para la información de Muchos.

• With non-fiction writing I feel like I'm confined and driven by what actually happened. That makes the "plot". So it's a process of getting all of my notes typed up, then scanning through the notes, trying to extract or find certain vignettes that seem like they might write well - that might have a potential for good energy, shape, etc. And then at some point I start stringing these together, keeping an eye on the word count.
