• Strength of will - is essential to your survival and success. The competitor who won't go away, who won't stay down, has one of the most formidable competitive advantages of all. In evaluating people, I prize ego. It often translates into a fierce desire to do their best and an inner confidence that stands them in good stead when things really get rough. Psychologists suggest that there is a strong link between ego and competitiveness. All the great performers I've ever coached had ego to spare.

• Nos enfrentamos al hecho, amigos míos, de que mañana es hoy. Nos enfrentamos a la feroz urgencia del ahora. En este enigma de la vida y de la historia, existe el retraso. La dilación sigue siendo el ladrón del tiempo. La vida nos deja a menudo desnudos y abatidos ante una oportunidad perdida. . . . Sobre los huesos blanqueados y los residuos desordenados de numerosas civilizaciones están escritas las patéticas palabras: "Demasiado tarde". ... Ahora comencemos. Ahora volvamos a dedicarnos a la larga y amarga, pero hermosa, lucha por un mundo nuevo.

• I felt that there were so many things that could go wrong, in adapting The Hunger Games , and I had this fierce desire to protect this book that she had written.

• One goes on writing partly because it is the only available way of earning a living. It is a hard way and highly competitive. My heart drops into my bowels when I enter a bookshop and see how fierce the competition is...There is also a privier reason for pushing on, and that is the hopeless hope that someday that intractable enemy language will yield to the struggle to control it... Mastery never comes, and one serves a lifelong apprenticeship. The writer cannot retire from the battle; he dies fighting.

• Los frutos crudos de la tierra se hicieron para el sustento humano. Incluso las colas blancas de los conejos, según algunos teólogos, tienen una finalidad, a saber, facilitar a los deportistas su caza. Es cierto que hay algunos inconvenientes: los leones y los tigres son demasiado feroces, el verano es demasiado caluroso y el invierno demasiado frío. Pero estas cosas sólo empezaron después de que Adán comiera la manzana; antes de eso, todos los animales eran vegetarianos, y la estación era siempre la primavera. Si Adán se hubiera contentado con melocotones y nectarinas, uvas, peras y piñas, estas bendiciones seguirían siendo nuestras.

  Bertrand Russell

• Las tradiciones familiares son algo más que discusiones con los muertos, algo más que colecciones de cartas familiares que intentas descifrar. Una tradición es también un canal de memoria a través del cual surgen anhelos feroces y no correspondidos, anhelos que definen y dan forma a toda una vida.
