• One of the pitfalls about writing about illness is that it is very easy to imagine people with cancer as either these wise-beyond-their-years creatures or these sad-eyed tragic people. And the truth is, people living with cancer are very much like people who are not living with cancer. They're every bit as funny and complex and diverse as anyone else.

• Master, I'm afraid. I am, truly. This place scares me. At home, I know who I am, what to do. I'm the Warden's daughter, I know where I stand. But this is a dangerous place, full of pitfalls. All my life, I've known it was waiting for me, but now I'm not sure I can face it. They'll want to absorb me, make me one of them, and I won't change. I won't! I want to stay me."

• Most of us who become experimental physicists do so for two reasons; we love the tools of physics because to us they have intrinsic beauty, and we dream of finding new secrets of nature as important and as exciting as those uncovered by our scientific heroes. But we walk a narrow path with pitfalls on either side. If we spend all our time developing equipment, we risk the appellation of "plumber," and if we merely use the tools developed by others, we risk the censure of our peers for being parasitic.

• No podemos aliarnos con los príncipes vecinos mientras no conozcamos sus designios. No somos aptos para dirigir un ejército en marcha a menos que estemos familiarizados con la faz del país: sus montañas y bosques, sus escollos y precipicios, sus pantanos y ciénagas. No podremos aprovechar las ventajas naturales a menos que nos sirvamos de guías locales.

• We should, I believe, beware of the pitfalls described by Taine: 'Imagine a man who sets out on a voyage equipped with a pair of spectacles that magnify things to an extraordinary degree. A hair on his hand, a spot on the tablecloth, the shifting fold of a coat, all will attract his attention; at this rate, he will not go far, he will spend his day taking six steps and will never get out of his room.' We have to get out of this room.

  Robert Kennedy

• Whenever I start thinking of my love for a person, I am in the habit of immediately drawing radii from my love - from my heart, from the tender nucleus of a personal matter- to monstrously remote points of the universe. Something impels me to measure the consciousness of my love against such unimaginable and incalculable things as the behaviour of nebulae (whose very remoteness seems a form of insanity), the dreadful pitfalls of eternity, the unknowledgeable beyond the unknown, the helplessness, the cold, the sickening involutions and interpenetrations of space and time.

  Vladimir Nabokov

• Representar una cosa mala bajo su luz menos ofensiva es, sin duda, el camino más agradable que puede seguir un escritor de ficción; pero ¿es el más honesto o el más seguro? ¿Es mejor revelar al joven e irreflexivo viajero las insidias y trampas de la semejanza, o cubrirlas con ramas y flores? Oh, lector, si hubiera menos de esta delicada ocultación de los hechos, este susurrar "Paz, paz", cuando no hay paz, habría menos pecado y miseria para los jóvenes de ambos sexos que se ven obligados a extraer su amargo conocimiento de la experiencia.

• The Mets have shied away from that iconic club because they don't want the current one exposed to that hard-partying culture which, while well-documented, has also been somewhat exaggerated at times. The guys from that championship team are older and more mature now and can warn the current Mets about some of the pitfalls of fame.

• But there are roughly two sorts of informed people, aren't there? People who start off right by observing the pitfalls and mistakes and going round them, and the people who fall into them and get out and know they're there because of that. They both come to the same conclusions but they don't have quite the same point of view.

• La decisión consciente de eliminar ciertos detalles e incluir fragmentos selectivos de experiencias personales o matices perceptivos confiere al cuadro una mayor multidimensionalidad que cuando se realiza directamente como registro visual. El resultado es una especie de abstracción... y así se evitan los escollos de la mera decoración.

• De todas las trampas y escollos de la vida, el autodesprecio es el más mortífero y el más difícil de superar, porque es un pozo diseñado y cavado por nuestras propias manos, que se resume en la frase: "Es inútil, no puedo hacerlo".
