• Words, words, word. Once, I had the gift. I could make love out of words as a potter makes cups of clay. Love that overthrows empire. Love that binds two hearts together, come hellfire & brimstone. For sixpence a line, I could cause a riot in a nunnery. But now -- I have lost my gift. It's as if my quill is broken, as if the organ of my imagination has dried up, as if the proud -illegible word- of my genius has collapsed.

  Jeffrey Eugenides

• When I turn around, he cups my face in his hands and he kisses me so deeply that I don't know who is breathing for who, but his mouth and tongue taste like warm honey. I don't know how long it lasts, but when I let go of him, I miss it already.

• It's as if Japanese men, all to aware that deep inside they'd like to stomp Tokyo flat, breathe fire, and do truly terrible and disgusting things to women, have built themselves the most beautiful of prisons for their rampaging ids.

  Anthony Bourdain

• I wish the whole day were like breakfast, when people are still connected to their dreams, focused inward, and not yet ready to engage with the world around them. I realized this is how I am all day; for me, unlike other people, there doesn't come a moment after a cup of coffee or a shower or whatever when I suddenly feel alive and awake and connected to the world. If it were always breakfast, I would be fine.

• In a split second of eternity, everything is changed, transfigured. A few bars of music, rising from an unfamiliar place, a touch of perfection in the flow of human dealings - I lean my head slowly to one side, reflect on the camellia on the moss on the temple, reflect on a cup of tea, while outside the wind is rustling foliage, the forward rush of life is crystalized in a brilliant jewel of a moment that knows neither projects nor future, human destiny is rescued from the pale succession of days, glows with light at last and, surpassing time, warms my tranquil heart.

• Tenemos que ser ángeles los unos para los otros, darnos fuerza y consuelo. Porque sólo cuando seamos plenamente conscientes de que el cáliz de la vida no es sólo un cáliz de dolor, sino también un cáliz de alegría, seremos capaces de beberlo.

• Amaos los unos a los otros, pero no hagáis del amor un lazo; que sea más bien un mar en movimiento entre las orillas de vuestras almas. Llenaos mutuamente la copa, pero no bebáis de una sola copa. Daos mutuamente de vuestro pan, pero no comáis del mismo pan. Cantad y danzad juntos y alegraos, pero que cada uno de vosotros esté solo, como están solas las cuerdas de un laúd, aunque tiemblen con la misma música.

• Where the road sloped upward beyond the trees, I sat and looked toward the building where Naoko lived. It was easy to tell which room was hers. All I had to do was find the one window toward the back where a faint light trembled. I focused on that point of light for a long, long time. It made me think of something like the final throb of a soul's dying embers. I wanted to cup my hands over what was left and keep it alive. I went on watching the way Jay Gatsby watched that tiny light on the opposite shore night after night.

  Haruki Murakami

• Relationships are treated like Dixie cups. They are the same. They are disposable. If it does not work, drop it, throw it away, get another. Committed bonds (including marriage) cannot last when this is the prevailing logic. Most of us are unclear about what to do to protect and strengthen caring bonds when our self-centered needs are not being met.

• Yes, the world may aspire to vacuousness, lost souls mourn beauty, insignificance surrounds us. Then let us drink a cup of tea. Silence descends, one hears the wind outside, autumn leaves rustle and take flight, the cat sleeps in a warm pool of light. And, with each swallow, time is sublimed.

  Muriel Barbery

• Que las lágrimas que cayeron y las palabras rotas que se intercambiaron en el largo y estrecho abrazo entre los huérfanos sean sagradas. Un padre, una hermana y una madre se ganaron y se perdieron en aquel momento. Alegría y dolor se mezclaron en el cáliz; pero no hubo lágrimas amargas, porque incluso el dolor surgió tan suavizado, y revestido de recuerdos tan dulces y tiernos, que se convirtió en un placer solemne, y perdió todo carácter de dolor.
