• Dame un carbón caliente que brille rojo brillante, Dame una brasa que chisporrotee de calor, Estas son las joyas hechas de mi pico. Volamos entre las llamas y nunca nos chamuscamos Nos zambullimos entre el humo y nunca nos acobardamos. Conocemos los secretos del fuego, sus extraños vientos, su furia, cuando arrasa bosques, cañones, laderas arriba y abajo. Lo rastreamos. Lo encontraremos. Cogemos carbón por kilos. Nos adentraremos en el corazón de la llama más ardiente. Luego traeremos sus brasas y las domaremos. Porque somos los valientes carboneros y, más allá de todo, ¡somos los búhos de los carboneros!

• But once in a while . . . I don't know. I feel so close, Rose. So close to the edge. Like if I allow myself one small misstep, I'll plunge away and never come back. It's like I'll lose myself.

• I am pleased enough with the surfaces - in fact they alone seem to me to be of much importance. Such things for example as the grasp of a child's hand in your own, the flavor of an apple, the embrace of a friend or lover, the silk of a girl's thigh, the sunlight on the rock and leaves, the feel of music, the bark of a tree, the abrasion of granite and sand, the plunge of clear water into a pool, the face of the wind - what else is there? What else do we need?

• What is love? There is nothing in the world, neither man nor Devil nor any thing, that I hold as suspect as love, for it penetrates the soul more than any other thing. Nothing exists that so fills and binds the heart as love does. Therefore, unless you have those weapons that subdue it, the soul plunges through love into an immense abyss.

• It is dull enough to confuse the eye in following, pronounced enough to constantly irritate and provoke study, and when you follow the lame uncertain curves for a little distance they suddenly commit suicide—plunge off at outrageous angles, destroy themselves in unheard of contradictions.

• Una mente bien informada es la mejor seguridad contra el contagio de la locura y el vicio. La mente vacía está siempre alerta en busca de alivio, y dispuesta a sumergirse en el error, para escapar de la languidez de la ociosidad. Llénala de ideas, enséñale el placer de pensar; y las tentaciones del mundo exterior serán contrarrestadas por las gratificaciones derivadas del mundo interior.

• Writing a novel is a terrible experience, during which the hair often falls out and the teeth decay. I'm always irritated by people who imply that writing fiction is an escape from reality. It is a plunge into reality and it's very shocking to the system.

• I could run nearly naked on a hot, windy beach and plunge without care into a running diamond sea; roll on the sand and fling my arms wide to the sun and still be what I was...young.

• A child rightly trained may be a world-wide blessing, with an influence reaching onward to eternal years. But a neglected or misdirected directed child may live to blight and blast mankind, and leave influences of evil which shall roll on in increasing volume till they plunge into the gulf of eternal perdition.

• For Ragamuffins, God's name is Mercy. We see our darkness as a prized possession because it drives us into the heart of God. Without mercy our darkness would plunge us into despair - for some, self-destruction. Time alone with God reveals the unfathomable depths of the poverty of the spirit. We are so poor that even our poverty is not our own: It belongs to the mysterium tremendum of a loving God.

• He had said, "I am a man," and that meant certain things to Juana. It meant that he was half insane and half god. It meant that Kino would drive his strength against a mountain and plunge his strength against the sea. Juana, in her woman's soul, knew that the mountain would stand while the man broke himself; that the sea would surge while the man drowned in it. And yet it was this thing that made him a man, half insane and half god, and Juana had need of a man; she could not live without a man.

• His vision, from the constantly passing bars, has grown so weary that it cannot hold anything else. It seems to him there are a thousand bars, and behind the bars, no world. As he paces in cramped circles, over and over, the movement of his powerful soft strides is like a ritual dance around a center in which a mighty will stands paralyzed. Only at times, the curtain of the pupils lifts, quietly. An image enters in, rushes down through the tense, arrested muscles, plunges into the heart and is gone.

• Even if it seems certain that you will lose, retaliate. Neither wisdom nor technique has a place in this. A real man does not think of victory or defeat. He plunges recklessly towards an irrational death. By doing this, you will awaken from your dreams.

• Behold, my love, behold all that I simultaneously do: scandal, seduction, bad example, incest, adultery, sodomy! Oh, Satan! one and unique God of my soul, inspire thou in me something yet more, present further perversions to my smoking heart, and then shalt thou see how I shall plunge myself into them all!

• La puerta del vestíbulo se abre a una mañana de junio tan fina y limpia que Classira se detiene en el umbral como lo haría al borde de una piscina, observando el agua turquesa que baña las baldosas, las redes líquidas del sol que se agitan en las profundidades azules. Como si estuviera al borde de una piscina, retrasa un momento la zambullida, la rápida membrana de frío, el simple choque de la inmersión.
