• La primera vez que aparecí en escena me llevé un susto de muerte. No sabía a qué venían tantos gritos. No me daba cuenta de que mi cuerpo se movía. Para mí es algo natural. Así que le dije al director entre bastidores: "¿Qué he hecho? ¿Qué he hecho?" Y me dijo: "Sea lo que sea, vuelve y hazlo otra vez".

  Elvis Presley

  Interview Magazine (March/April 1972); later quoted in Jane Ellen Wayne "The Leading Men of MGM" (p. 406), February 17, 2005.

• I held a blue flower in my hand, probably a wild aster, wondering what its name was, and then thought that human names for natural things are superfluous. Nature herself does not name them. The important thing is to know this flower, look at its color until the blends becomes as real as a keynote of music. Look at the exquisite yellow flowerettes at the center, become very small with them. Be the flower, be the trees, the blowing grasses. Fly with the birds, jump with a squirrel!

• Blind metaphysical necessity, which is certainly the same always and every where, could produce no variety of things. All that diversity of natural things which we find suited to different times and places could arise from nothing but the ideas and will of a Being, necessarily existing.

• Happiness is the most natural thing in the world when you have it, and the slowest, strangest, most impossible thing when you don't. It's like learning a foreign language: You can think about the words all you want, but you'll never be able to speak it until you suck up your courage and say them out loud.

• I have no motif, only motivation. I believe that motivation is the real thing, the natural thing, and that the motif is old-fashioned, even reactionary (as stupid as the question about the meaning of life)

• I think as you grow up and you see things which are around you and you ask questions and you hear the answers, your situation becomes more and more of a puzzle. Now, why is it like this, why are things like this and since writing is one way in which one can ask this questions and try to find these answers, it seems to me a very natural thing to do, especially as it meant stories which I always found moving, almost unbearably necessary.

• Las conferencias interrumpían la jornada y eran, sin duda, una terrible pérdida de tiempo, necesaria sin duda si se estudiaba derecho o medicina o alguna otra asignatura profesional, pero en el caso del inglés, lo natural era hablar mucho, escuchar música, beber café y vino, leer libros e ir a obras de teatro, tal vez participar en ellas.

• I think one is naturally impressed by anything having a beginning a middle and an ending when one is beginning writing and that it is a natural thing because when one is emerging from adolescence, which is really when one first begins writing one feels that one would not have been one emerging from adolescence if there had not been a beginning and a middle and an ending to anything.

• Cuanto más joven y sana es una mujer y cuanto más su cuerpo nuevo y lustroso parece destinado a la eterna lozanía, menos útil es el artificio; pero la debilidad carnal de esta presa que el hombre toma y su ominoso deterioro siempre tienen que ocultársele... En cualquier caso, cuanto más artificiosos parecen los rasgos y las proporciones de una mujer, más deleita el corazón del hombre porque parece escapar a la metamorfosis de las cosas naturales. El resultado es esta extraña paradoja de que al desear captar la naturaleza, pero transfigurada, en la mujer, el hombre la destina al artificio.

• Te amo como la planta que nunca florece pero lleva en sí la luz de las flores ocultas; gracias a tu amor cierta fragancia sólida surgida de la tierra, vive oscuramente en mi cuerpo. y: Nadie puede detener el río de tus manos, tus ojos y su somnolencia, querida mía. Eres el temblor del tiempo, que pasa entre la luz vertical y el cielo que se oscurece. y: De los archipiélagos tormentosos traje mi acordeón ventoso, olas de lluvia loca, la lentitud habitual de las cosas naturales: conformaron mi corazón salvaje.

  Pablo Neruda

• The average personality reshapes frequently, every few years even our bodies undergo a complete overhaul - desirable or not, it is a natural thing that we should change. All right, here were two people who never would change. That is what Mildred Grossman had in common with Holly Golightly. They would never change because they'd been given their character too soon; which, like sudden riches, leads to a lack of proportion: the one had splurged herself into a top-heavy realist, the other a lopsided romantic.
