• Hay mucho más. Hay todo lo que va más allá - todo... lo que es Elsewhere - y todo lo que va atrás, y atrás, y atrás. Recibí todo eso, cuando fui seleccionado. Y aquí en esta habitación, solo, los reexperimento una y otra vez. Así es como llega la sabiduría. Y así damos forma a nuestro futuro.

• Now he saw another elephant emerge from the place where it had stood hidden in the trees. Very slowly it walked to the mutilated body and looked down. With its sinuous trunk it struck the huge corpse; then it reached up, broke some leafy branches with a snap, and draped them over the mass of torn thick flesh. Finally it tilted its massive head, raised its trunk, and roared into the empty landscape.

• Así que esto es lo que haré. Reuniré mi pasado y miraré. Veré algo que ya ha sucedido. El dolor que desgarró mi espíritu. Sostendré ese dolor en mi mano hasta que se vuelva duro y brillante, más claro. Y entonces podrá volver mi ferocidad, mi lado dorado, mi lado negro. Utilizaré este agudo dolor para penetrar en la dura piel de mi hija y desatar su espíritu de tigre. Ella luchará contra mí, porque esa es la naturaleza de dos tigres. Pero ganaré y le entregaré mi espíritu, porque así es como una madre ama a su hija.

• Worthless is the charity of the man who bestows it unwillingly, because material charity is not his, but God's gift, while only the disposition of the heart belongs to the man. This is why many charities prove almost worthless, for they were bestowed unwillingly, grudgingly, without respect for the person of our neighbor. So also the hospitality of many persons proves worthless because of their hypocritical vain-glorious behavior to their guests. Let us offer our sacrifices upon the altar of love to our neighbor, with heart-felt affection: 'for God loves a cheerful giver'

• El amor de Dios da de tal modo que brota del corazón del Padre, fuente de todo bien. El corazón del que da hace que el don sea querido y precioso; como entre nosotros decimos incluso de un regalo insignificante: "Viene de una mano que amamos", y no nos fijamos tanto en el don como en el corazón.

  Martin Luther

• "I liked the feeling of love," [Jonas] confessed. He glanced nervously at the speaker on the wall, reassuring himself that no one was listening. "I wish we still had that," he whispered. "Of course," he added quickly, "I do understand that it wouldn't work very well. And that it's much better to be organized the way we are now. I can see that it was a dangerous way to live." [...] "Still," he said slowly, almost to himself, "I did like the light they made. And the warmth."

• Dios quiere que le busquemos más que a cualquier otra cosa, incluso más de lo que buscamos respuestas a la oración. Cuando acudimos a Dios en oración, a veces nuestros corazones están tan llenos de lo que queremos que dejamos de lado a Dios. Nuestras mentes se consumen con el regalo más que con el dador.
