• Mi soledad... todavía me invade a veces... Es una sensación liminal, perdida, de haber vagado por bulevares anchos e interminables, entre hileras de naranjos, mariposas invernales, estaciones invertidas y desordenadas, perros ladrando detrás de vallas destinadas a mantener alejados a los intrusos. No es el lugar lo que me empobrece, sino que soy yo quien aporta al lugar mi propia sensación de pobreza, de pérdida. Es una sensación de casi nada, como si yo no fuera tanto una pizarra en blanco como una pizarra borrada, todavía con borrones ilegibles de escritura alisada.

  Marco Roth

• If orange trees grew all over the country, you couldn't sell oranges.  Do you understand that?  So, all our decision making is based upon scarcity or the availability of resources.  If we have a shortage of any kind of resource, we put all the labs to work on making substitute materials.  People always worry about 'What if we run out of a certain material?', but we have enough technology today to make thousands of different substitutes.

• El amor maternal, como un naranjo, brota, florece y da a luz a la vez. Cuando una mujer pone el dedo por primera vez en la diminuta mano de su bebé y siente ese apretón indefenso que le aprieta hasta la fibra sensible, nace de nuevo con su hijo recién nacido.

  Kate Douglas Wiggin

• Existe un orden relativo entre las especies fosilizadas de plantas encontradas en el registro geológico que la Geología del Diluvio no puede explicar, a menos que puedas imaginar manzanos y naranjos con zapatillas Nike en sus raíces, corriendo más allá de las magnolias y los mamíferos primitivos, dejando a los ginkgos allí con los dinosaurios cuando las aguas del Diluvio comenzaron a subir.

• You have lost your reason and taken the wrong path. You have taken lies for truth, and hideousness for beauty. You would marvel if, owing to strange events of some sorts, frogs and lizards suddenly grew on apple and orange trees instead of fruit, or if roses began to smell like a sweating horse; so I marvel at you who exchange heaven for earth. I don't want to understand you.

• But what is to be done? Is it possible to infect ourselves on purpose just in order to have the satisfaction of dying beautifully and tranquilly? No! What is to be done? We must live while we are alive, eat dry bread if there is no roast beef, know many women if it is not possible to love a woman, and, in general, we must not dream about orange trees and palms, when under foot are snowdrifts and the cold tundra.

  Dmitri Pisarev
