• Es Lilith.
  ¿Quién?
  Es la primera esposa de Adán.
  Cuidado con la atracción de sus hermosos cabellos,
  El espléndido único adorno de su cabello;
  Cuando ella logra atrapar a un joven,
  No pronto ella lo libera de sus engaños.

• Once a man worries, he clings to anything out of desperation; and once he clings he is bound to get exhausted or to exhaust whomever or whatever he is clinging to. A warrior-hunter, on the other hand, knows he will lure game into his traps over and over again, so he doesn't worry.

• If you want more people to come to the theatre, don't put the prices at £50. You have to make theatre inclusive, and at the moment the prices are exclusive. Putting TV stars in plays just to get people in is wrong. You have to have the right people in the right parts. Stunt casting and being gimmicky does the theatre a great disservice. You have to lure people by getting them excited about a theatrical experience.

• The smell of the sea swept over the wall and in through the empty window-hole, wide and wild with a million intoxicating secrets. I don't trust that smell. It hooks us somewhere deeper than reason or civilization, in the fragments of our cells that rocked in oceans before we had minds, and it pulls till we follow mindlessly as rutting animals....It lures us to leap off high cliffs, fling ourselves on towering waves, leaves behind everyone we love and face into thousands of miles of open water for the sake of what might be on the far shore.

• El amor ataca. Se acerca sigilosamente como una manada de leones o una jauría de hienas y se come tu corazón mientras tú miras. El amor es el matón del patio que te quita el dinero del almuerzo y te pone un ojo morado a cambio, el pirómano que quema tu casa contigo dentro, la bruja que te atrae a su casa con caramelos y te hierve vivo para cenar. El amor es crudo, violento e instantáneo. No te enamoras; te pisotea.

• You know, people always warn children about taking candy from strange adults. But they never warn us adults about taking candy from strange children. All those sweet-looking kids who sell boxes of candy bars on the street to help pay for schooling - how do we know what's in those bars? And don't even get me stated on that nefarious institution designed to lure unsuspecting customers into buying mysterious frosted goodies: the bake sale. Adults, be warned: if a child wanted to poison you it would be a piece of cake! Literally a piece of cake.

• El Santísimo Sacramento es el imán de las almas. Hay una atracción mutua entre Jesús y las almas de los hombres. María lo atrajo del cielo. Nuestra naturaleza le atrajo más que la naturaleza de los ángeles. Nuestra miseria le hizo rebajarse a nuestra bajeza. Incluso nuestros pecados ejercían una especie de atracción por la abundancia de su misericordia y la predilección de su gracia. Nuestro arrepentimiento le gana para nosotros. Nuestro amor hace de la tierra un paraíso para Él; y nuestras almas le atraen como el oro atrae al avaro, con irresistible fascinación

• La naturaleza salvaje es un lugar de descanso, no en el sentido de inmovilidad, ya que, al fin y al cabo, lo que nos atrae es movernos, tomar la siguiente curva. El descanso consiste en aislarse de las distracciones, en ralentizar las fuerzas centrífugas cotidianas que nos mantienen desequilibrados.

• A finales de agosto, el atractivo de las montañas se vuelve irresistible. Ardiendo por el fuego del sol eterno, quiero volver a ver agua corriente, abrazar un pino, cortar mis iniciales en la corteza de un álamo, que me pique un mosquito, ver un pájaro azul de montaña, encontrar una gran columbina azul, perderme entre los abetos, caminar por encima de la línea de madera, tomar el sol en la nieve y comer hielo, escalar las rocas y pararme en la cima del mundo en el pico de Tukuhnikivats.
