• See how the world (whose chaste and pregnant womb Of late conceiv'd, and brought forth nothing ill) Is now degenerated, and become A base adult'ress, whose false births do fill The earth with monsters, monsters that do roam And rage about, and make a trade to kill: Now glutt'ny paunches, and avarice a pawn; Pale envy pines, pride swells, and sloth begins to yawn.

  Francis Quarles

• El ser que llamamos dios no es más que un peón que trabaja para una fuerza poderosa y racional en alguna galaxia lejana. Esta fuerza está tratando de eliminar a la gente irracional para ver quién es tan estúpido como para creer tan fácilmente en la ilusión de su dios. A los que crean en esta ilusión, los enviará a la condenación eterna y entregará al cielo a los seres racionales, los que se negaron estoicamente a creer en un dios.

• Tú mejor que nadie sabes cómo funciona el destino. Lo que te ocurrió como humano sucedió porque todos, desde tus padres en adelante, intentaron eludir lo que se suponía que debía suceder, que en última instancia fue la destrucción del panteón atlante. No había forma de cambiar esa profecía. Pero la forma en que sufriste fue completamente innecesaria. Si tus padres hubieran aceptado su verdadero destino, te habrías ahorrado años de tormento. El destino no será negado. Podemos esculpirlo, pero al final todos somos peones de nuestros destinos finales. Buenos, malos o indiferentes. (Savitar)

  Sherrilyn Kenyon

• Thank God [Donald Trump] said I was a politician because Aristotle defined the human person as 'animal politicus.' At least I am a human person. As to whether I am a pawn, well, maybe, I don't know. I'll leave that up to your judgment and that of the people.

• Y el buen escritor elige sus palabras por su "significado", pero ese significado no es algo fijo y aislado, como el movimiento de un caballo o un peón en un tablero de ajedrez. Surge de las raíces, de las asociaciones, de cómo y dónde la palabra se utiliza familiarmente, o dónde se ha utilizado de forma brillante o memorable.

• Today, America poses a threat to peace and security in the world. Therefore, the slogan "Death to America" is no longer used only by our people. Today, you see throughout the world people setting fire to the effigy of the American president and chanting the slogan "Death to America." This is because of the American regime's exaggerated demands, its arrogance, its vanity, and its desire to control, and because it is a pawn in the hands of the Zionists.
