• Extendiendo sus sentidos, Lorkin intentó de nuevo escuchar los pensamientos superficiales de su madre. Sin embargo, lo que captó parecía demasiado fuera de lugar. Debía de estar imaginándoselo. Aunque... también era extraño que imaginara a su madre pensando semejante sarta de palabrotas.

• Para ella, la gracia salvadora significaba que podías vivir tu vida como una persona normal: Estabas sano y fuerte, y la perspectiva de la muerte no era más que una hipótesis lejana y apenas reconocida. Una deuda a pagar en un futuro que no podías imaginar.

• Imagine being sentient but not alive. Seeing and even knowing, but not alive. Just looking out. Recognizing but not being alive. A person can die and still go on. Sometimes what looks out at you from a person's eyes maybe died back in childhood.

• Pasar tiempo contigo me enseñó lo que me faltaba en la vida. Cuanto más tiempo pasábamos juntos, más podía imaginar que duraría en el futuro. Eso nunca me había pasado antes, y no estoy seguro de que me vuelva a pasar. Nunca me había enamorado de nadie antes de que llegaras tú, no de verdad... no así. Y sería una tonta si te dejara escapar sin luchar.

• Me miró, confusa. "Apenas me conocía. Mis padres salieron juntos y se casaron antes de que supiéramos lo que pasó. Digamos que no nos metieron en esa decisión". "Qué raro. A mí tampoco me informaron de la boda de mis padres". "¿En serio? ¿Cuántos años tenías?" "Doce meses". Soltó una risita. "No me imagino por qué no te pidieron tu opinión.

• Es así", le había explicado una vez a Connie. "Si alguien te regalara una sola rosa, serías feliz, ¿verdad?". "Vale", continuó, "ahora imagina que alguien te regala diez mil rosas". "Eso es un montón de rosas", dijo ella. "Son demasiadas". "Exacto. Demasiadas. Pero además, hace que cada rosa sea mucho menos especial, ¿verdad? Hace que sea difícil elegir una y decir: 'Esa es la buena'. Y te dan ganas de deshacerte de todas porque ahora ninguna parece especial". Connie había entrecerrado los ojos. "¿Estás diciendo que cuando estás en la escuela sólo quieres deshacerte de todos?

• I try to imagine keeping something like that a secret for my whole life. It would be like always wearing a mask over your face, which everyone believed was the real you. You would be the only person who knew it wasn't--and who knew that you could never take it off.

• There was something I was always very good at, however, and that was teaching myself not to be frightened while frightening things are going on. It is difficult to do this, but I had learned. It is simply a matter of putting one’s fear aside, like the vegetable on the plate you don’t want to touch until all of your rice and chicken are gone, and getting frightened later, when one is out of danger. Sometimes I imagine I will be frightened for the rest of my life because of all of the fear I put aside during my time in Stain’d-by-the-Sea.

• I told her that I can't be doing with the Wonder part of these trips, but she said it should be the icing on the cake... I've never liked wedding cake due to the amount of icing, but then imagine a wedding cake without it; just a dark, stodgy, horrible dry sponge. The icing covers up the mess, and that's how I feel about most of the Wonders. They use them to get people to visit a place that you probably wouldn't think about visiting.

• Was it Aristotle who said the human soul is composed of reason, will, and desire?” “No, that was Plato. Aristotle and Plato were as different as Mel Tormé and Bing Crosby. In any case, things were a lot simpler in the old days,” Komatsu said. “Wouldn’t it be fun to imagine reason, will, and desire engaged in a fierce debate around a table?

• Debemos tomarnos nuestras frases en serio, lo que significa que debemos entenderlas filosóficamente, y lo extraño es que los pocos que lo hacen, que se las toman con total seriedad sobria, la total seriedad sobria de los sabios de derechas y los salvadores políticos, los dueños de pomeranias, son los mentirosos que quieren ser creídos, los novelistas y poetas, que saben que las criaturas que imaginan no tienen otro ser que las sílabas sonoras que el lector pronunciará en su propia cabeza cansada y distraída. No hay palabras mágicas. Decir las palabras es suficientemente mágico.

• She had said she didn't feel fear, but it was a lie; this was her fear: being left alone. Because of one thing she was certain, and it was that she could never love, not like that. Trust a stranger with her flesh? The closeness, the quiet. She couldn't imagine it. Breathing someone else's breath as they breathed yours, touching someone, opening for them? The vulnerability of it made her flush. It would mean submission, letting down her guard, and she wouldn't. Ever. Just the thought made her feel small and weak as a child.

• Humans invent an imaginary lover and put that mask over the face of the body in their bed. That is the tragedy of language my friend. Those who know each other only through symbolic representations are forced to imagine each other. And because their imagination is imperfect, they are often wrong.

• Te quiero: Te imaginas oír las palabras de alguien que no tiene nada que ver contigo, alguien que no es tu mejor amigo, pero cuando alguien a quien quieres, alguien con quien sueñas, las dice de verdad, hace que tu cuerpo se derrita y que se te corte la respiración.

• Podemos cambiar tantas veces en nuestras vidas. Nacemos en una familia, y es la única vida que podemos imaginar, pero cambia. Los edificios se derrumban. Los incendios queman.

• Me gustaría morir escuchando una pieza musical. Me lo imagino tan fácil, tan natural, pero naturalmente es del todo imposible. Las notas apuñalan demasiado suavemente. Las heridas que dejan pueden doler, pero no supuran. La melancolía y el dolor gotean en lugar de sangre. Cuando cesan las notas, todo vuelve a la paz en mi interior.

• I do not view suicide as wicked, just terribly sad. There is only one death, but it is like a stone cast into a pond - the ripples stretch far. Such an act must leave a burden of sorrow, guilt, shame and confusion on an entire family. A natural death, such as my father suffered, is hard enough to deal with. A decision to end one's life must be still more devastating for those left behind. I cannot imagine the degree of hopelessness someone must feel to contemplate such an act.

• Imagine the first discovery that one of these epidemics was man-made—the panic, the violence that would ensue. That’s where the end would come. A typhoon kills a few hundred people, does a few billion in damage, and what do we do?” Erskine interlocked his fingers. “We come together. We put the pieces back. But a terrorist’s bomb.” He frowned. “A terrorist’s bomb does the same damage, and it throws the world into turmoil.” He spread his hands apart like an explosion going off. “When there’s only God to blame, we forgive him. When it’s our fellow man, we must destroy him.
