• ¿Por qué, amigos, vais a hacer no sabéis qué: en qué ha merecido César así vuestros amores? Ay, no lo sabéis: Debo decíroslo entonces: Habéis olvidado el testamento del que os hablé. . . . . Aquí está el testamento, y bajo el sello de César. A cada ciudadano romano le da, a cada hombre, setenta y cinco dracmas... . . . Además, os ha dejado todos sus paseos, sus glorietas privadas y huertos recién plantados, a este lado del Tíber; os ha dejado a vosotros, y a vuestros herederos para siempre, placeres comunes, para pasear por el exterior y recrearos. ¡Ha habido un César! ¿Cuándo habrá otro igual?

  William Shakespeare

  Amor, Hombres, Dar

  'Julius Caesar' (1599) act 3, sc. 2, l. [252]

• You never enjoy the world aright, till the Sea itself flowers in your veins,
  till you are clothed with the heavens, and crowned with the stars: and
  perceive yourself to be the sole heir of the whole world, and more than
  so, because men and women are in it who are every one sole heirs as well
  as you. Till you can sing and rejoice and delight, as misers do in gold, and
  kings in scepters, you never enjoy the world.

• Tomar estrógenos o no tomarlos:
  Esa es la cuestión.
  Si es más noble abstenerse y sufrir
  El sudor y los charcos de destellos escandalosos
  O tomar las armas contra un mar de cambios de humor
  ¿Y oponiéndose acabar con ellos? Morir: dormir;
  No más; al principio los estudios dicen que acabarán
  Los infartos y los mil ataques de hinchazón
  Que la carne es heredero de, 't es una verdadera confusión -
  Porque luego dicen que nos hará morir a todos
  Quizá de cáncer de mama; ahí está el problema;
  Porque ¿quién puede soñar o incluso dormir mientras se preocupa por
  ¿Qué dirán los médicos la semana que viene?

• Taxation, the very thing that had triggered the British civil wars, would do so again, this time in America. The taxes may have been different, but the result would once again be disaster. What happened in America was really round two of those wars - the civil war of the British Empire, with the Hanoverians playing the part of the Stuarts, and the Americans the heirs of the revolutionaries, of Cromwell and of William III, the inheritors of a true British liberty, that had somehow got lost in its own motherland.

• Of course, Lady Arabella could not suckle the young heir herself. Ladies Arabella never can. They are gifted with the powers of being mothers, but not nursing mothers. Nature gives them bosoms for show, but not for use. So Lady Arabella had a wet-nurse.

• We are heirs of the ages because throughout the ages mankind has devised and fashioned new things, and step by step added new conquests to our domain in that incessant contest with nature which means life. But we are decadent heirs if we cannot use the instruments that the ages have put into our hands. The acquisition of these, in the largest scope, is education.

• The mere word freedom is the only one that still excites me. I deem it capable of indefinitely sustaining the old human fanaticism. It doubtless satisfies my only legitimate aspiration. Among all the many misfortunes to which we are heir, it is only fair to admit that we are allowed the greatest degree of freedom of thought. It is up to us not to misuse it. To reduce the imagination to a state of slavery-even though it would mean the elimination of what is commonly called happiness-is to betray all sense of absolute justice within oneself.

  André Breton

  Mean, Justice, Imagination
