• we left about midnight and walked down the hill in silence. the night was muggy, and all around me i felt the same pressure, a sense of time rushing by while it seemed to be standing still. whenever i thought of time in puerto rico, i was reminded of those old magnetic clocks that hung on the walls of my classrooms in high school. every now and then a hand would not move for several minutes -- and if i watched it long enough, wondering if it had finally broken down, the sudden click of the hand jumping three for four notches would startle me when it came.

• The stifled hum of midnight, when traffic has lain down to rest, and the chariot wheels of Vanity, still rolling here and there through distant streets, are bearing her to halls roofed in and lighted to the due pitch for her; and only vice and misery, to prowl or to moan like night birds, are abroad.

• Truth and Beauty (perhaps Keats was wrong in identifying them: perhaps they have the relation of Wit and Humour, or Rain and Rainbow) are of interest only to hungry people. There are several kinds of hunger. If Socrates, Spinoza, and Santayana had had free access to a midnight icebox we would never have heard of them. Shall I be ashamed of my little mewing truths?... I ask to be forgiven: they are such tiny ones.

  Christopher Morley

• Y recordar tanto nuestros triunfos como nuestros pasos en falso, nuestras promesas hechas y rotas, las veces que nos abrimos a grandes aventuras o nos cerramos por miedo a salir heridos, porque de eso se trata el new year, de tener otra oportunidad, una oportunidad de perdonar. Para hacerlo mejor, para hacer más, para dar más, para amar más, y para dejar de preocuparnos por lo que pasaría si y empezar a abrazar lo que será. Así que cuando la bola caiga a medianoche, y caerá, recordemos ser amables los unos con los otros, amables los unos con los otros, y no sólo esta noche, sino todo el año.

• If I was at the Comedy Cellar at midnight you yelled at the back of the room. But you, for television, play it to the camera because yes you're communicating to the people at home using the studio audience that's right in front of you as a guide for that.

• Sabes, a veces pienso, ¿cómo se le va a ocurrir a alguien un libro, o una pintura, o una sinfonía, o una escultura que pueda competir con una gran ciudad? No se puede. Porque miras a tu alrededor y cada calle, cada bulevar, es su propia forma de arte especial y cuando piensas que en el universo frío, violento y sin sentido que París existe, estas luces. Vamos, en Júpiter o Neptuno no pasa nada, pero desde el espacio se ven estas luces, los cafés, la gente bebiendo y cantando. Por lo que sabemos, París es el punto más caliente del universo.

  Owen Wilson

• Soy un bebedor de té empedernido y desvergonzado, que durante veinte años ha diluido sus comidas sólo con la infusión de esta fascinante planta; cuya tetera apenas tiene tiempo de enfriarse; que con té divierte la tarde, con té solaza la medianoche y, con té, da la bienvenida a la mañana.
