• The only exercise I got as a kid was fork to mouth. Food was equated with love in my household. I thought you left the table when the zipper was down and you'd explode if you took another bite. I'd eat my plate and then everyone else's leftovers.

• Finalmente, con pesar, dejé la vida religiosa y, una vez liberado de la carga del fracaso y la insuficiencia, sentí que mi creencia en Dios se desvanecía silenciosamente. En realidad, nunca había influido en mi vida, aunque había hecho todo lo posible para que lo hiciera. Ahora que ya no me sentía tan culpable y angustiado por él, me resultaba demasiado lejano para ser una realidad.

• In the past, heartland whites with some kind of dream or desire left their towns for cities to become citified. They wanted to get away from religion, from their families, they wanted to come out, make art, have sex, have experiences. But this new crew was something we had never seen before. They were the first generation of suburban Americans. They came, not to be citified, but rather to change cities into places they could recognize and dominate.

• Good satire goes beyond the specific point it’s trying to make and teaches you how to think critically. Even after your favorite cartoonist retires or [Stephen] Colbert wraps it up, you’re not left believing everything they’re telling you.

• Debemos disentir de la indiferencia. Debemos disentir de la apatía. Debemos disentir del miedo, el odio y la desconfianza. Debemos disentir de una nación que ha enterrado la cabeza en la arena, esperando en vano que las necesidades de sus pobres, sus ancianos y sus enfermos desaparezcan y se esfumen. Debemos disentir de un gobierno que ha dejado a sus jóvenes sin trabajo, educación ni esperanza. Debemos disentir de la falta de visión y de liderazgo moral. Debemos disentir porque América puede hacerlo mejor, porque América no tiene más remedio que hacerlo mejor.

• From the industry's point of view, the problem is not that coal companies blast the top off mountains, turning the area into a moonscape and polluting the air and releasing toxic chemical into what's left of the local streams and aquifers. It's that the people who live near the mines are too cozy with their cousins.

• Los materiales de I Enoc datan del 200 a.C. al 50 d.C. I Enoc contribuye en gran medida a los puntos de vista intertestamentarios sobre los ángeles, el cielo, el juicio, la resurrección y el Mesías. Este libro ha dejado su impronta en muchos escritores del Nuevo Testamento, especialmente en el autor del Apocalipsis.

• It is a kind and wise arrangement of Providence that weaves our sorrows into the elements of character and that all the disappointments, and conflicts, and afflictions of life may, if rightly used, become the means of improvement, and create in us the sinews of strength.... the dross is left in the crucible, the baser metals are transmuted, and the character is enriched with gold.

• There’s no way to really preserve a person when they’ve gone and that’s because whatever you write down it’s not the truth, it’s just a story. Stories are all we’re ever left with in our head or on paper: clever narratives put together from selected facts, legends, well edited tall tales with us in the starring roles

• Ahora el camerino lleno de jerarquía de la RSC. De repente, Trevor Nunn se abre paso y me hace un "Trevving". Había oído hablar mucho del "Trevving", pero nunca me lo habían hecho. Por lo que había oído, un "Trev" es un brazo alrededor de tu hombro y un apretón de lado. Pero este "Trev" es un abrazo frontal, tan completo y tan íntimo que el vestuario se despeja al instante, como por succión. Me quedo sola en los brazos de este hombre famoso preguntándome si es educado soltarlo.

• Extreme right-wingers are known for giving God a bad name; extreme left-wingers are known for giving God a weak name. He's not as simple as conservative versus liberal, old versus new. His wings are balanced. God is both and neither.

• Men, women and children too, ran hysterically, falling and stumbling, getting up, tripping and falling again, rolling over and over. Most of them managed to regain their feet and made it to the water. But many of them never made it and were left behind, their feet drumming in blinding pain on the overheated pavements amidst the rubble, until there came one last convulsing shudder from the smoking 'thing' on the ground, and then no further movement.

• In order to be able thus to misjudge, and thus to grant left-handed veneration to our classics, people must have ceased to know them. This, generally speaking, is precisely what has happened. For, otherwise, one ought to know that there is only one way of honoring them, and that is to continue seeking with the same spirit and with the same courage, and not to weary of the search.

• It seems like I always wrote, I just didn't think of it as a career choice. I just liked to tell stories ... to myself, to pen pals (I had a lot of them, all over the world). Of course this was in the days before computers were everywhere, and anyone could access the Web. You had to make an effort keeping up a correspondence, and the arrival of the mail once a day was a big deal. I think if modern technology had been around when I was a kid, I would never have left my bedroom except to take the dogs out for their run three times a day.

• Si la mente nos es común, entonces también la razón, por la que somos seres razonadores, es común. Si esto es así, entonces también es común la razón que ordena lo que se debe hacer o dejar de hacer. Si esto es así, la ley también es común; si esto es así, somos ciudadanos; si esto es así, somos partícipes de una constitución; si esto es así, el Universo es una especie de Mancomunidad.
