• A la hora de pensar en cómo implantar redes sociales y profesionales en tu empresa, no es cuestión de si lo harás, sino de cuándo. Y la razón es, sólo pensar en el hecho de que las empresas que adoptan las nuevas tecnologías para operar de manera eficiente y utilizarlos para obtener una ventaja competitiva son las empresas que, de hecho, ya sabes, se convierte en una ventaja competitiva más. Ya sea un fax o un teléfono móvil o una nueva forma de financiación o cualquiera de estas cosas, ya sabes, son cosas clave que hacer.

• You are born into a dangerous world, there are all sorts of ways in which you could die, and you need to believe your parents when they tell you don't go near the edge of the cliff, or don't pick up that snake, etc. There could very well be a Darwinian survival value in that sort of brain rule of thumb. And a by-product of that could be that you believe your parents when they tell you about the juju in the sky, or whatever it might be.

• We're told, often enough, that as a species we are poised on the edge of the abyss. It's possible that our puffed-up, prideful intelligence has outstripped our instinct for survival and the road back to safety has already been washed away. In which case there's nothing much to be done. If there is something to be done, then one thing is for sure: those who created the problem will not be the ones who come up with a solution.

• I went to Jerusalem, the dead sea, it was just amazing. Because what we see in the TV, I'm sorry to say it, I don't want to insult nobody, but a lot of the image that we see from the middle east in Canada - It's sad to say but it's always bad stuff. I was thinking coming here it would be a lot of military, security, everybody would be a little more on the edge, but I see it's amazing. It feels a little bit similar to Miami.

• Me siento aliviada de que Peeta esté vivo. Me repito que si me mata, sus ganancias beneficiarán más a mi madre y a Prim. Esto es lo que me digo a mí misma para explicar las emociones contradictorias que surgen cuando pienso en Peeta. La gratitud de que juegue con ventaja al profesarme su amor en la entrevista. La rabia por su superioridad en el tejado. El temor de que podamos encontrarnos cara a cara en cualquier momento en esta arena.

• He stepped toward her, and her heart just ached from it. His face was so handsome, and so dear, and so perfectly wonderfully familiar. She knew the slope of his cheeks, and the exact shade of his eys, brownish near the iris, melting into green at the edge. And his mouth-she knew that mouth, the look of it, the feel of it. She knew his smile, and she knew his frown, and she knew- she knew far to much.

• ¿Qué es la locura sino nobleza de alma en desacuerdo con las circunstancias? El día está que arde. Conozco la pureza de la desesperación pura, Mi sombra clavada contra una pared sudorosa, Ese lugar entre las rocas... ¿es una cueva, O un camino sinuoso? El borde es lo que tengo........ ....... Oscura, oscura mi luz, y más oscuro mi deseo. Mi alma, como una mosca de verano enloquecida por el calor, sigue zumbando en el umbral. ~De "The Waking" de Theodore Roethke
