• The colours of insects and many smaller animals contribute to conceal them from the larger ones which prey upon them. Caterpillars which feed on leaves are generally green; and earth-worms the colour of the earth which they inhabit; butter-flies, which frequent flowers, are coloured like them; small birds which frequent hedges have greenish backs like the leaves, and light-coloured bellies like the sky, and are hence less visible to the hawk who passes under them or over them.

• Por sus máquinas el hombre puede sumergirse y permanecer bajo el agua como un tiburón; puede volar como un halcón en el aire; puede ver los átomos como un mosquito; puede ver el sistema del universo de Uriel, el ángel del sol; puede llevar cualquier carga que una tonelada de carbón pueda levantar; puede derribar ciudades con su puño de pólvora; puede recuperar la historia de su raza por las medallas que el diluvio, y cada criatura, civil o salvaje o bruta, ha dejado caer involuntariamente de su existencia; y adivinar la posibilidad futura del planeta y sus habitantes por su percepción de las leyes de la naturaleza.

• Get a life in which you notice the smell of salt water pushing itself on a breeze over the dunes, a life in which you stop and watch how a red-tailed hawk circles over a pond and a stand of pines. Get a life in which you pay attention to the baby as she scowls with concentration when she tried to pick up a Cheerio with her thumb and first finger.

• No resientas tu lugar en la historia. No te imagines en otro lugar. No cierres los ojos e imagines un mundo sin espinas, sin sombras, sin halcones. Cambia este mundo. Utiliza tu cuerpo como una herramienta destinada a ser usada, desechada y reemplazada. Mejora cada vida que toques. Llegaremos al capítulo final. Cuando tengamos ojos que puedan mirar fijamente al sol, ojos que sólo entrecierren los ojos para el Shenikah, entonces veremos niños riendo que tiran de las cobras por la cola, y halcones y conejos que juegan al pilla-pilla.

• And I know I'm supposed to feel guilty for wanting people to buy my books... and books in general? Novels and poetry, they belong to the realm of art. How dirty of us to try to hawk art! But, after a decade of hand-wringing and apologies, I can't quite muster the guilt anymore.

• Dying was nothing and he had no picture of it nor fear of it in his mind. But living was a field of grain blowing in the wind on the side of a hill. Living was a hawk in the sky. Living was an earthen jar of water in the dust of the threshing with the grain flailed out and the chaff blowing. Living was a horse between your legs and a carbine under one leg and a hill and a valley and a stream with trees along it and the far side of the valley and the hills beyond.

Habían bajado de las montañas traseras y de los lugares más altos para tender sus manos por algo que pensaban que la civilización podía ofrecer, y nunca soñaron la tristeza y la pobre ilusión rota de ello.
