• Hay tan poco que recordar de alguien: una anécdota, una conversación en una mesa. Pero cada recuerdo se repite una y otra vez, cada palabra, por fortuita que sea, se escribe en el corazón con la esperanza de que la memoria se cumpla y se haga carne, y de que los errantes encuentren el camino de vuelta a casa, y los difuntos, cuya falta siempre sentimos, atraviesen por fin la puerta y nos acaricien el pelo con soñador cariño habitual sin haber querido hacernos esperar mucho.

  Marilynne Robinson

• El amor por la tierra es una de las primeras pasiones, pero también la última. Los pasteles de barro satisfacen uno de nuestros primeros y mejores instintos. Mientras estamos sucios, somos puros. La afición por la tierra vuelve a un hombre después de haber corrido la ronda del placer y los negocios, comido tierra y sembrado avena silvestre, vagado por el mundo y tomado el viento de todos sus estados de ánimo. El amor por cavar en la tierra (o por mirar mientras paga a otro para que cave) es tan seguro que volverá a él, como seguro es que, al final, se hundirá bajo tierra y se quedará allí.

• It is noticeable how intuitively in age we go back with strange fondness to all that is fresh in the earliest dawn of youth. If we never cared for little children before, we delight to see them roll in the grass over which we hobble on crutches. The grandsire turns wearily from his middle-aged, careworn son, to listen with infant laugh to the prattle of an infant grandchild. It is the old who plant young trees; it is the old who are most saddened by the autumn; and feel most delight in the returning spring.

• La afición o indiferencia que los filósofos manifestaban por la vida no era más que una preferencia inspirada por su amor propio, y no soportará más razonamiento que el gusto del paladar o la elección de los colores.

• My degree was in sculpture. I always think that drawing is a sculptural process. I always feel like I'm carving the image out rather than painting the image. I'm carving it out with erasers and tools like that. I've always had this fondness for sculpture.

• Fondness for people can be terrifying, because it's intangible and it can disappear, or it can be taken away, or you can say the wrong thing. A million things, so it's so uncomfortable. So when you suddenly become aware of it because they don't call you or something for half an hour or whatever, you lose it.
