• Sólo hay tres tipos de personas: los que han encontrado a Dios y le sirven; los que no han encontrado a Dios y le buscan, y los que viven sin buscarle ni encontrarle. Los primeros son racionales y felices; los segundos infelices y racionales, y los terceros necios e infelices.

• She didn't want to think about how wrong this was or how foolish it was to give herself to a known seducer. Because tonight Oliver wasn't that man. Not to her. He was the boy who'd cried over his dead mother, the young man who'd lost himself in drink and women to forget the past, the marquess who'd vowed not to marry for money. He was the man to be her lover.

• Watch it, minx," he warned with a lift of his brow. "If you intend to taunt me for every foolish statement I've made in my life, you'll force me to play Rockton and lock you up in my dark, forbidding manor while I have my wicked way with you." That sounds perfectly awful,"she said gazing at the man she loved. "How soon can we start?

• Let me tell you about weakness! Killing the strong to prove your strength is foolish weakness. Killing fools is easy weakness. Killing the weak is evil weakness. Accomplishing your ends without killing, mastering your mind when you want to kill--that is strength!

• Susan apenas había empezado a aminorar la marcha cuando Tera apareció de entre un par de edificios y se acercó corriendo al coche. Me incliné hacia delante, abrí la puerta y ella se sentó en el asiento trasero. Le tendí la ropa que había recogido y empezó a vestirse sin hacer ningún comentario. Funcionó", dije. "Lo conseguimos".

• Down by the salley gardens my love and I did meet; She passed the salley gardens with little snow-white feet. She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree; But I, being young and foolish, with her did not agree. In a field by the river my love and I did stand, And on my leaning shoulder she laid her snow-white hand. She bid me take life easy, as the grass grows on the weirs; But I was young and foolish, and now am full of tears.

• Sometimes friends do foolish things. My father told me that true friends are like gold coins. Ships are wrecked by storms and lie for hundreds of years on the ocean floor. Worms destroy the wood. Iron corrodes. Silver turns black but gold doesn't change in sea water. It loses none of its brilliance or colour. It comes up the same. It survives shipwrecks and time.

• All of the Ten Commandments that are good were old; all that were new art foolish. If Jehovah had been civilized he would have left out the commandment about keeping the Sabbath, and in its place would have said: "Thou shalt not enslave thy fellow-men." He would have omitted the one about swearing, and said: "The man shall have but one wife, and the woman but one husband." He would have left out the one about graven images, and in its stead would have said: "Thou shalt not wage wars of extermination, and thou shalt not unsheathe the sword except in self-defence.

• La fama es una tontería, no tiene sentido. Incluso si todo el mundo te conoce, ¿cómo te hace más rico? ¿Cómo te hace la vida más dichosa? ¿Cómo te ayuda a ser más comprensivo, más consciente? ¿A estar más alerta, más vivo?

• Por supuesto que sí, respondió Jomes con seriedad. Muchos de los tesoros de la vida permanecen ocultos para nosotros simplemente porque nunca los buscamos. A menudo no nos hacemos las preguntas adecuadas que podrían conducirnos a la respuesta a todos nuestros desafíos. Estamos tan atrapados en el miedo y el remordimiento, que la esperanza parece un empeño insensato. Sin embargo, la prueba de la esperanza no sólo es posible, sino que es una ley del universo que se pasa por alto.

• So, when on one side you hoist in Locke's head, you go over that way; but now, on the other side, hoist in Kant's and you come back again; but in very poor plight. Thus, some minds for ever keep trimming boat. Oh, ye foolish! throw all these thunder-heads overboard, and then you will float light and right.

• She tilted her head to one side, considering him. "Do you love me?" "Love is a trick and a sham. A foolish plague and a lie and a torment." "Do you love me?" she repeated, quite calmly. Knowing the answer. "Yes, may it curse my soul." "May it save your soul," she said.

• You've always asked me to wait, as if we had time in abundance. But time is too precious, Perry. We've wasted years, when we could have been with each other. Don't you understand how much even one day of loving each other is worth? Some people are separated by distances they can never cross. All they can do is dream about each other for a lifetime, never having what they want most. How foolish, how wasteful to have love within your reach and not take it!" She clamped her teeth on her trembling bottom lip to steady herself
