• I have to confess that I had gambled on my soul and lost it with heroic insouciance and lightness of touch. The soul is so impalpable, so often useless, and sometimes such a nuisance, that I felt no more emotion on losing it than if, on a stroll, I had mislaid my visiting card.

  Charles Baudelaire

  Gambling, Soul, Nuisance

• Todo el universo o la estructura que lo percibe es un digno oponente, pero por mucho que lo intente no puedo escapar al sonido del sufrimiento. Tal vez cuando sea viejo me reconforte deambular por un laboratorio y hablar amablemente con los estudiantes en las tardes de verano, y acepte el sufrimiento con despreocupación. Pero ahora no; los hombres en la flor de la vida, si tienen convicciones, deben actuar en consecuencia.

  Julian Assange

• Over the years, one comes to measure a place, too, not just for the beauty it may give, the balminess of its breezes, the insouciance and relaxation it encourages, the sublime pleasures it offers, but for what it teaches. The way in which it alters our perception of the human. It is not so much that you want to return to indifferent or difficult places, but that you want to not forget.

  Barry López

• Un país que se rasca una perezosa irritación ante las jambas caídas y los retrasos de los trenes, cuyo mayor atributo es una tolerancia colectiva y maloliente, donde un tipo lo aguantará casi todo, lo que significa que no le importará nada lo suficiente como para levantarse de una silla.Un país de despreocupación pública y culpabilidad privada y mugrienta, donde puedes creer cualquier cosa siempre que no lo creas demasiado fervientemente. Un país donde la máxima aspiración es una vida tranquila.

  A. A. Gill
