• Y si resultaba ser una noche de Navidad en la que la gran campana parecía sonar en su garganta mientras llamaba a los fieles a la misa de medianoche, se extendía sobre la sombría fachada un aire de vida tan indescriptible que la gran puerta parecía tragarse a toda la multitud, y el rosetón los miraba fijamente.

• Extendí la mano y le limpié el vómito de los labios, y le arrullé palabras tranquilizadoras. Me estrujaba el corazón verle sufrir así, pero no podía saber dónde terminaba mi genuina preocupación por él y dónde empezaba mi interés personal: ningún sirviente puede saber nunca cuáles son los motivos de su corazón.

• Literature cannot develop between the categories "permitted"—"not permitted"—"this you can and that you can't." Literature that is not the air of its contemporary society, that dares not warn in time against threatening moral and social dangers, such literature does not deserve the name of literature; it is only a facade. Such literature loses the confidence of its own people, and its published works are used as waste paper instead of being read. -Letter to the Fourth National Congress of Soviet Writers

• The National Liberation Front was not...a viable, autonomous organization with a life of its own; it was a facade, a "front," by means of which the DLD (the North Vietnamese Communist Party) sought to mobilize the people in the South to accomplish its ends, and to garner international sympathy and support.

• When I paint, I seriously consider the public presence of a person - the surface facade. I am less concerned with how people look when they wake up or how they act at home. A person's public presence reflects his own efforts at image development.

• Walks are never as good during the day. At night, when everyone's apartments are lit up and you can see inside, that's where the action is. Everything about this fascinates me. Windows, lampposts, building facades. Looking into other people's lives. The way it all comes together, this entity greater than the sum of its parts. I feel inspired. I'm excited about my future life.

• Realmente creo que si los líderes políticos del mundo pudieran ver su planeta desde una distancia de, digamos, 160.000 kilómetros, su perspectiva cambiaría radicalmente. La importantísima frontera sería invisible, esa ruidosa discusión silenciada de repente. El pequeño globo seguiría girando, ignorando serenamente sus subdivisiones, presentando una fachada unificada que clamaría por una comprensión unificada, por un tratamiento homogéneo. La Tierra debe llegar a ser lo que parece: azul y blanca, no capitalista ni comunista; azul y blanca, no rica ni pobre; azul y blanca, no envidiosa ni envidiada.

• For indeed Christianity was complicit in the death of antiquity, and in the birth of modernity, not because it was an accomplice of the latter, but because it, alone in the history of the West, constituted a rejection of and alternative to nihilism's despair, violence, and idolatry of power; as such, Christianity shattered the imposing and enchanting facade behind which nihilism once hid, and thereby, inadvertently, called it forth into the open.

  David Bentley Hart

• La igualdad de justicia ante la ley no es simplemente una leyenda en la fachada del edificio del Tribunal Supremo, es quizás el ideal más inspirador de nuestra sociedad. Es uno de los fines para los que existe todo nuestro sistema jurídico... es fundamental que la justicia sea la misma, en sustancia y disponibilidad, independientemente de la situación económica.

• If the Queen can reject the advice of a minister on a little thing like a postage stamp, what would happen if she rejected the advice of the Prime Minister on a major matter? If the Crown personally can reject advice, then, of course, the whole democratic facade turns out to be false

• El silencio emerge del sonido de la lluvia y se extiende en un crescendo de monotonía gris sobre la estrecha calle que contemplo. Duermo despierto, de pie junto a la ventana, apoyado en ella como contra todo. Busco en mí las sensaciones que siento ante estos hilos de agua que caen, oscuramente luminosos, que sobresalen de las fachadas mugrientas de los edificios y, sobre todo, de las ventanas abiertas. Y no sé lo que siento ni lo que quiero sentir. No sé qué pensar ni dónde estoy.

• Pasas por delante de la antigua cárcel del condado de Los Ángeles, que es sorprendentemente bonita. Tiene una hermosa fachada de piedra y columnas señoriales. La nueva cárcel del condado de Los Ángeles -llamada Las Torres Gemelas- no es nada bonita; es un panóptico de estuco del color de la carne enferma.
