• Then the voices of the Ainur, like unto harps and lutes, and pipes and trumpets, and viols and organs, and like unto countless choirs singing with words, began to fashipn the theme of Iluvatar to a great music; and a sound arose of endless interchanging melodies woven in harmony that passed beyond hearing into the depths and into the heights, and the places of the dwelling of Iluvatar were filled to overflowing, and the music and the echo of the music went out into the Void, and it was not void.

• Pero la persona que salió por la puerta principal era alta y delgada, con el pelo corto y oscuro de punta. Llevaba un chaleco de malla dorada y unos pantalones de pijama de seda. Miró a Clary con leve interés, mientras daba suaves caladas a una pipa fantásticamente grande. Aunque no se parecía en nada a un vikingo, le resultó instantánea y totalmente familiar. Magnus Bane

• Cuando llegué a la escuela, ya había leído un par de cientos de libros. En primer curso supe que me estaban mintiendo porque ya había conocido otros puntos de vista. En la escuela se trata básicamente de un punto de vista: el que tiene el profesor o el que tienen los libros de texto. No les gusta la idea de tener puntos de vista diferentes, así que era una batalla. Por supuesto, yo soltaba mi voz de niño de cinco años.

• If you write, fix pipes, grade papers, lay bricks or drive a taxi - do it with a sense of pride. And do it the best you know how. Be cognizant and sympathetic to the guy alongside, because he wants a place in the sun, too. And always...always look past his color, his creed, his religion and the shape of his ears. Look for the whole person. Judge him as the whole person.

• I swam across the rocks and compared myself favorably with the sars. To swim fishlike, horizontally, was the logical method in a medium eight hundred times denser than air. To halt and hang attached to nothing, no lines or air pipe to the surface, was a dream. At night I had often had visions of flying by extending my arms as wings. Now I flew without wings. (Since that first aqualung flight, I have never had a dream of flying.)

• Las mujeres", declaró Mat mientras cabalgaba con Pips por la polvorienta y poco transitada carretera, "son como mulas". Frunció el ceño. "Espera. No. Cabras. Las mujeres son como cabras. Salvo que cada una de ellas se cree un caballo y, además, una yegua de carreras. ¿Me entiendes, Talmanes?" "Pura poesía, Mat", dijo Talmanes, apurando el tabac en su pipa.

• Sólo había visto una pistola una vez, una más pequeña en la cadera de aquel viejo ayudante del sheriff, una pistola que siempre pensó que era más bien para aparentar. Se metió un puñado de balas mortíferas en el bolsillo, pensando en cómo cada una de ellas podía acabar con una vida individual, y comprendiendo por qué esas cosas estaban prohibidas. Matar a un hombre debería ser más difícil que agitar una tubería en su dirección. Debería llevar el tiempo suficiente para que la conciencia se interpusiera en el camino.

• She led him past the engine room, which looked like a very dangerous, mechanized jungle gym, with pipes and pistons and tubes jutting from a central bronze sphere. Cables resembling giant metal noodles snaked across the floor and ran up the walls. “How does that thing even work?” Percy asked. “No idea,” Annabeth said. “And I’m the only one besides Leo who can operate it.” “That’s reassuring.” “It should be fine. It’s only threatened to blow up once.” “You’re kidding, I hope.” She smiled. “Come on.

• See the hand that nursed the serpent. The fine hasped pipes of her fingerbones. The skin bewenned and speckled. The veins are milkblue and bulby. A thin gold ring set with diamonds. That raised the once child's heart of her to agonies of passion before I was. Here is the anguish of mortality. Hopes wrecked, love sundered. See the mother sorrowing. How everything that I was warned of's come to pass.

• He’d actually hit me! It didn’t matter that hitting me wasn’t really like hitting a regular girl and I’d be completely healed in a matter of hours. I was still a freaking girl, and he damned well knew it. I’d just have to hit him back. With a lead pipe. Or an eighteen-wheeler.

• He carried a pipe in his left hand, and as he examined Will at his leisure, he exhaled sending a cloud of sweet-smelling, cough-induced smoke. 'Finally broke down and admitted you're in love with me, have you?'He inquired of Will. 'I do enjoy these suprise midnight declarations.' He leaned against the doorway and waved a languid ringed hand. "Go along, have at it.

• At heart, Sussman was a theoretician. In another age, he might have been a Talmudic scholar. He had cultivated a Socratic method, zinging question after question at the reporters: Who moved over from Commerce to CRP with Stans? What about Mitchell's secretary? Why won't anybody say when Liddy went to the White House or who worked with him there? Mitchell and Stans both ran the budget committee, right? What does that tell you? Then Sussman would puff on his pipe, a satisfied grin on his face.

• Shadow boxes become poetic theater or settings wherein are metamorphosed the elements of a childhood pastime. The fragile, shimmering globules become the shimmering but more enduring planets—a connotation of moon and tides—the association of water less subtle, as when driftwood pieces make up a proscenium to set off the dazzling white of sea foam and billowy cloud crystallized in a pipe of fancy.

• To our way of thinking the Indians' symbol is the circle, the hoop. Nature wants to be round. The bodies of human beings and animals have no corners. With us, the circle stands for togetherness of people who sit with one another around the campfire, relatives and friends united in peace while the sacred pipe passes from hand to hand. To us this is beautiful and fitting, symbol and reality at the same time, expressing the harmony of life and nature.
