• To my great surprise, Twitter is not housed in a silver pod that orbits Earth at supersonic speeds, vacuuming up and then dispersing digital bits of worldwide chitchat; it's in a big, bland office building in downtown San Francisco, near a bowling alley and an Old Navy.

• If men do not comprehend the character of God, they do not comprehend themselves..." If the veil were rent today, and the great God who holds the world in its orbit, and who upholds all worlds and all things by His power, was to make Himself visible, - I say, if you were to see Him today, you would see Him like a man in form - like yourself in all the person, image, and very form as a man.

• When the space shuttle's engines cut off, and you're finally in space, in orbit, weightless... I remember unstrapping from my seat, floating over to the window, and that's when I got my first view of Earth. Just a spectacular view, and a chance to see our planet as a planet.

• Nos siguió durante la mitad de nuestra órbita. Lo observamos en el lado de la luz y, cuando entramos en el lado de la sombra, desapareció por completo. Era una estructura de ingeniería, hecha de algún tipo de metal, de unos 40 metros de largo con cascos interiores. El objeto era estrecho aquí y más ancho aquí, y en su interior había aberturas. En algunos lugares había salientes como pequeñas alas. El objeto permanecía muy cerca de nosotros. Lo fotografiamos, y nuestras fotos mostraron que estaba a una distancia de 23 a 28 metros.

• Do not follow me! Let's just be fabulously where we are and who we are. You be you and I'll be me, today and today and today, and let's trust the future to tommorrow. Let the stars keep track of us. Let us ride our own orbits and trust that they will meet. May our reunion be not a finding but a sweet collision of destinies!

• Like looking down on a lubricious chess set, isn't it? The king moves in tiny steps, with no direction, like a drunkard trying to avoid the archer's bolt. The others work their strategies and wait for the old man to fall. He has no power, yet all power moves in his orbit and to his mad whim. Do you know there's no fool piece on the chessboard, Kent?" "Methinks the fool is the player, the mind above the moves.

• I conceived, developed and applied in many areas a new geometry of nature, which finds order in chaotic shapes and processes. It grew without a name until 1975, when I coined a new word to denote it, fractal geometry, from the Latin word for irregular and broken up, fractus. Today you might say that, until fractal geometry became organized, my life had followed a fractal orbit.

• En cuanto al sistema de fe cristiano, me parece una especie de ateísmo, una especie de negación religiosa de Dios. Profesa creer en un hombre más que en Dios. Es un compuesto hecho principalmente de manismo con un poco de deísmo, y está tan cerca del ateísmo como el crepúsculo de la oscuridad. Introduce entre el hombre y su Creador un cuerpo opaco, al que llama Redentor, como la luna introduce su ser opaco entre la tierra y el sol, y produce por este medio un eclipse religioso, o irreligioso, de luz. Ha puesto en la sombra toda la órbita de la razón.

• i realize that the future, though invisible, has weight. We are in the gravitational pull of past and future. It takes huge energy -speed of light power- to break the gravitational pull. How many of us ever get free of our orbit? We tease ourselves with fancy notions of free will and self-help courses that direct our lives. We believe we can be our own miracles, and just a lottery win or Mr.right will make the world new.

  Jeanette Winterson

• El mundo, el mundo humano, no está unido por protones y electrones, sino por historias. Nada tiene sentido en sí mismo: todos los objetos del mundo serían fragmentos de muda blancura, girando salvajemente fuera de órbita, si no los uniéramos con historias.
