• The grey nurse resumed her knitting as Peter Walsh, on the hot seat beside her, began snoring. In her grey dress, moving her hands indefatigably yet quietly, she seemed like the champion of the rights of sleepers, like one of those spectral presences which rise in twilight in woods made of sky and branches. The solitary traveler, haunter of lanes, disturber of ferns, and devastator of hemlock plants, looking up, suddenly sees the giant figure at the end of the ride.

• In a word, we may reasonably hope for the virtual abolition of education when I'm as good as you has fully had its way. All incentives to learn and all penalties for not learning will vanish.The few who might want to learn will be prevented; who are they to overtop their fellows? And anyway the teachers-or should I say, nurses?-will be far too busy reassuring the dunces and patting them on the back to waste any time on real teaching. We shall no longer have to plan and toil to spread imperturable conceit and incurable ignorance among men. The little vermin themselves will do it for us.

• All writing is by the grace of God. People do not deserve to have good writing, they are so pleased with bad. In these sentences that you show me, I can find no beauty, for I see death in every clause and every word. There is a fossil or a mummy character which pervades this book. The best sepulchers, the vastest catacombs, Thebes and Cairo, Pyramids, are sepulchers to me. I like gardens and nurseries. Give me initiative, spermatic, prophesying, man-making words.

• I brought a picture with me that I had at home, of a girl in a swing with a castle and pretty blue bubbles in the background, to hang in my room, but that nurse here said the girl was naked from the waist up and not appropriate. You know, I've had that picture for fifty years and I never knew she was naked. If you ask me, I don't think the old men they've got here can see well enough to notice that she's bare-breasted. But, this is a Methodist home, so she's in the closet with my gallstones.

• Every job from the heart is, ultimately, of equal value. The nurse injects the syringe; the writer slides the pen; the farmer plows the dirt; the comedian draws the laughter. Monetary income is the perfect deceiver of a man's true worth.

• There were days when I was literally running for hours in the forest and then I'd jump on a plane and then I'd be on the 'Nurse Jackie' set. I was going from Vancouver to New York every three days. For me, it was really invigorating.

• Un astronauta jefe solía llamar por teléfono a la recepción de la clínica a la que se enviaba a los aspirantes para las pruebas médicas, para averiguar cuáles trataban bien al personal y cuáles destacaban por su mal aspecto. Las enfermeras y el personal de la clínica han visto a un montón de astronautas a lo largo de los años, y saben qué aspecto tienen las cosas mal hechas. Una persona con complejo de superioridad podría, sin darse cuenta, allí mismo, en la sala de espera, echar por tierra sus posibilidades de ir alguna vez al espacio.

• Seeing your mother naked is not something you easily recover from. Seeing your mother naked and jumping from one side of a king-sized bed to the other with a nurse's hat on while your father, who is also naked, is chasing her with a bandanna around his neck, is reason to put yourself up for adoption.

• He lay far across the room from her, on a winter island separated by an empty sea. She talked to him for what seemed a long while and she talked about this and she talked about that and it was only words, like the words he had heard once in a nursery at a friend's house, a two-year-old child building word patters, like jargon, making pretty sounds in the air.

• Un mal sueño.Para la persona en el frasco de la campana, en blanco y parado como un bebé muerto, el mundo mismo es el mal sueño.Un mal sueño.Yo recordaba todo.Me acordaba de los cadáveres y de Doreen y de la historia de la higuera y del diamante de Marco y del marinero en el Common y de la enfermera con ojos de pared del doctor Gordon y de los termómetros rotos y del negro con sus dos clases de judías y de los seis kilos que gané con la insulina y de la roca que sobresalía entre el cielo y el mar como una calavera gris.Tal vez el olvido, como una amable nieve, debería adormecerlos y cubrirlos.Pero formaban parte de mí. Eran mi paisaje

• I haven't much time to be fond of anything ... but when I have a moment's fondness to bestow, most times ... the roses get it. I began my life among them in my father's nursery garden, and I shall end my life among them, if I can. Yes. One of these days (please God) I shall retire from catching thieves, and try my hand at growing roses.
