• The large shiny black forehead of the first whale was no more than two yards from us when it sank beneath the surface of the water, then we saw the huge blue-black bulk glide quietly under the raft right beneath our feet. It lay there for some time, dark and motionless, and we held our breath as we looked down on the gigantic curved back of a mammal a good deal longer than the raft.

  Virginia Woolf

• La vida ha dejado sus huellas en mi frente. Pero esta mañana he vuelto a ser un niño. La sonrisa, vista a través de hojas y flores, ha vuelto para alisar las arrugas, como las lluvias borran las huellas en la playa. De nuevo comienza un ciclo de nacimiento y muerte.

• I sat there beside him till morning - and as I watched his face in the starlight, then the first ray of the sun on his untroubled forehead and closed eyelids, what I experienced was not a prayer, I do not pray, but that state of spirit at which a prayer is a misguided attempt: a full, confident, affirming self-dedication to my love of the right, to the certainty that the right would win and that this boy would have the kind of future he deserved... I did not expect it to be as great as this - or as hard.

• Todo lo que escribió Tolstoi es precioso, pero esta declaración final de la verdad sobre la vida, tal como él había llegado a entenderla, me pareció especialmente bella y conmovedora. Esto es lo que quería deciros, hermanos míos. Antes de morir". Así concluye, dándole a uno una vívida sensación del anciano, pluma en mano e inclinado sobre el papel, con la frente arrugada en una expresión de perplejidad muy característica de él, como si se preguntara perpetuamente cómo los demás podían no ver lo que para él era tan claro: que la ley del amor explicaba todos los misterios e invalidaba todas las demás leyes.

  Malcolm Muggeridge

• By focusing on the interior of a speaker's larynx and using infrared, he was able to convert the visible vibrations of the vocal cords into sound of fair quality, but that did not satisfy him. He worked for a while on vibrations picked up from panes of glass in windows and on framed pictures, and he experimented briefly with the diaphragms in speaker systems, intercoms and telephones. He kept on into October without stopping, and finally achieved a device that would give tinny but recognizable sound from any vibrating surface - a wall, a floor, even the speaker's own cheek or forehead.

• El libro, la universidad, la escuela de arte, la institución de cualquier tipo, se detienen con alguna expresión pasada de genio. . . . Miran hacia atrás y no hacia delante. Pero el genio mira hacia adelante: los ojos del hombre están puestos en su frente, no en su nuca: el hombre espera: el genio crea. Cualesquiera que sean los talentos, si el hombre no crea, el puro efluvio de la Deidad no es suyo; puede haber cenizas y humo, pero no llama.

• My theory is that if you buy an ice-cream cone and make it hit your mouth, you can learn to play tennis. If you stick it on your forehead, your chances aren't as good.

• How life is strange and changeful, and the crystal is in the steel at the point of fracture, and the toad bears a jewel in its forehead, and the meaning of moments passes like the breeze that scarcely ruffles the leaf of the willow.

• I don't know (and I guess I never will while I'm alive) just how thick my old skull is, but I do know that it is pretty thick, or it would have been cracked many years ago, for I have been struck some terrible blows on my head with iron dray-pins, pokers, clubs, stone-coal, and bowlders, which would have split any man's skull wide open unless it was pretty thick. Doctors have often told me that my skull was nearly an inch in thickness over my forehead.

• When all is complete deep in the teapot, when tea, mint, and sugar have completely diffused throughout the water, coloring and saturating it...then a glass will be filled and poured back into the mixture, blending it further. The comes waiting. Motionless waiting. Finally, from high up, like some green cataract whose sight and sound mesmerize, the tea will once again cascade into a glass. Now it can be drunk, dreamily, forehead bowed, fingers held wide away from the scalding glass.

  Simonne Jacquemard

• I don't know of a single instance of these Arab freedom fighters holding up pictures of bin Laden. I know many instances of them displaying American flags in Benghazi or painting 'Facebook' on their foreheads in Cairo. The idea of freedom . . . is absolutely contradictory to what bin Laden stood for, which was . . . taking Muslims back to some medieval theocracy and encouraging people to die not for freedom but to go to paradise and to kill innocent people along the way. The contrast is really striking.

• Escribir es descender como un minero a las profundidades de la mina con una lámpara en la frente, una luz cuyo dudoso brillo lo falsea todo, cuya mecha está en permanente peligro de explosión, cuya iluminación parpadeante en el polvo de carbón agota y corroe los ojos.

  Blaise Cendrars

• Samuel Spade's jaw was long and bony, his chin a jutting v under the more flexible v of
  his mouth. His nostrils curved back to make another, smaller, v. His yellow-grey eyes were
  horizontal. The V motif was picked up again by thickish brows rising outward from twin creases
  above a hooked nose, and his pale brown hair grew down--from high flat temples--in a point on
  his forehead. He looked rather pleasantly like a blond Satan.

• Salve, alto Exceso especialmente en el vino,
  A ti en adoración doblo la rodilla
  Que me predicas la abstinencia
  Mi cráneo tu púlpito, como mi barriga tu santuario.
  Precepto sobre precepto, sí, y línea sobre línea,
  Nunca podría persuadir tan dulcemente a estar de acuerdo
  con la razón como tu toque, exacto y libre,
  sobre mi frente y a lo largo de mi columna vertebral.
  A tu orden, renunciando a la copa del placer,
  con la uva caliente no caliento más mi ingenio;
  Cuando me siento en tu taburete de penitencia
  me convierto del todo, pues no puedo levantarme.
  Ingrato el que después vacile
  a hacer nuevos sacrificios en tu altar.

• Amor Came....
  y se convirtió en sangre en mi cuerpo.
  Corrió por mis venas y
  y rodeó mi corazón.
  
  Dondequiera que mirara,
  Vi una cosa....
  El Nombre del Amor escrito
  en mis miembros,
  en mi palma izquierda,
  en mi frente,
  en la nuca,
  en mi dedo gordo del pie derecho...
  
  Oh, amigo mío,
  todo lo que ves de mí
  es sólo una cáscara,
  y el resto pertenece al Amor.

• I have four daughters, the eldest is 19, the youngest is 12, and I watched all of them journey into motherhood. Motherhood is very deep. It starts when you're very, very young. Now, my 12 year old comes in, wants to put me to bed. And she'll, you know, put her hand on my forehead and say the prayer with me. As for years I've done for her! It's almost like a very beautiful, natural transition.

• You know, I'm normally so sanguine. But... being accused of rushing these two books out to cash in on the Newbery Medal, without access to time travel equipment or anything, just makes me want to bang my forehead gently against a tree for half an hour. Is it too much to ask people to think?
