• Out of the new arrivals in our lives--the odd word stumbled upon in a difficult text, the handsome black stranger who bursts in one night through the cat door, the telephone call out of a friend's silence of years, the sudden greeting from the girl-child---we constantly make of ourselves our selves.

• We had had mass immigration from the late 1800s all the way through the early 1900s to the 1920s, and we had to pause the immigration in order to for the new arrivals to assimilate, to become Americans, to learn English, for one thing.

• Debemos analizar lo que implica la inmigración a Estados Unidos. Para los recién llegados, el cambio es insoportable. Aprender un nuevo idioma y enfrentarse a costumbres extrañas hacen que los primeros años de vida en la nueva tierra sean dolorosos...
  El sistema económico de Estados Unidos es un poderoso motor de persuasión. Motiva a la gente a hacer lo que de otro modo nunca haría a cambio de cumplir sus sueños. En el proceso, la gente aprende que no hay una línea tajante entre el bienestar físico y los propósitos más elevados de la vida. La comodidad de poseer una casa es a la vez cumplir con la obligación de cuidar de uno

• Put any two people together and each will seek ways of feeling superior to the other. If a ship went down in the Pacific and a single sailor managed to swim to a desert island, would he be pleased to see, ten minutes later, another sailor emerging from the surf? Quite possibly - but only if the new arrival accepted that the first man was now a landed aristocrat while he himself was an illegal immigrant.

• Este ser humano es una casa de huéspedes. Cada mañana hay una nueva llegada. Una alegría, una depresión, una mezquindad, alguna conciencia momentánea llega como visitante inesperado... Acógelos y agasájalos a todos. Trata a cada huésped con honor. El pensamiento oscuro, la vergüenza, la malicia, recíbelos en la puerta riendo, e invítalos a entrar. Agradece a quien venga, porque cada uno ha sido enviado como guía desde el más allá.

• Only one pair was still battling, apparently unaware of the new arrival. Harry saw Sirius duck Bellatrix's jet of red light: he was laughing at her.

The laughter had not quite died from his face, but his eyes widened in shock.
