I am not the one who-" "I wish you were the one who had heard of the rule Silence is Golden," he said.

• A voice had begun to sing. It was very far away and Digory found it hard to decide from what direction it was coming. Sometimes it seemed to come from all directions at once. Sometimes he almost thought it was coming out of the earth beneath them. Its lower notes were deep enough to be the voice of the earth herself. There were no words. It was hardly a tune. But it was beyond comparison, the most beautiful sound he had ever heard.

• No puedo hacer ejercicio y *no* estar viendo o escuchando música o algo. También escribo mucho en mi diario. Creo que escribir es muy terapéutico. Y luego, pasar tiempo con mis sobrinas y sobrinos.

• Perder a un hermano es perder a alguien con quien puedes compartir la experiencia de envejecer, que se supone que te traerá una cuñada y sobrinas y sobrinos, criaturas que pueblan el árbol de tu vida y le dan nuevas ramas. Perder a tu padre es perder a aquél cuya guía y ayuda buscas, que te sostiene como el tronco de un árbol sostiene sus ramas. Perder a tu madre, bueno, es como perder el sol sobre ti. Es como perder... Lo siento, prefiero no seguir.

• This is love: You stop bothering about the universal, the general, get sucked instead into the local and particular: When will I see her again? What shall we do today? Do you like these shoes?

• The purpose of a fishing trip is not to catch fish. Bringing home meat is important, but it is more symbolic than necessary, as the new morality of catch-and-release has shown. What is important is what happens between people on fishing trips, especially between uncles and nephews, fathers and sons, old men in general and young boys in particular, it is one of the few times men are together without women.

• [Mary Wortley Montagu] wrote more letters, with fewer punctuation marks, than any Englishwoman of her day; and her nephew, the fourth Baron Rokeby, nearly blinded himself in deciphering the two volumes of undated correspondence which were printed in 1810. Two more followed in 1813, after which the gallant Baron either died at his post or was smitten with despair; for sixty-eight cases of letters lay undisturbed ... 'Les morts n'écrivent point,' said Madame de Maintenon hopefully; but of what benefit is this inactivity, when we still continue to receive their letters?
