• En el encantador crepúsculo metropolitano sentía a veces una inquietante soledad, y la sentía en los demás: pobres oficinistas jóvenes que merodeaban frente a las ventanas esperando a que llegara la hora de cenar en un solitario restaurante; jóvenes oficinistas en el crepúsculo, desperdiciando los momentos más conmovedores de la noche y de la vida.

• Vividly imagined, beautifully written, at times almost unbearably suspenseful-the stories in Kristiana Kahakauwila's debut collection, This Is Paradise, are boldly inventive in their exploration of the tenuous nature of human relations. These are poignant stories of 'paradise'-Hawai'i-with all that 'paradise' entails of the transience of sensuous beauty.

• It is in general true that in order to create works of art one has to have leisure. On the other hand I think that one needs to experience resistance in a practical sense, and even that which is poignant to bring out what makes easy reading for others. Too much deprivation of course, means death.

• Quiero morir a los cien años con una bandera estadounidense a la espalda y la estrella de Texas en el casco, después de bajar a gritos un descenso alpino en bicicleta a 120 kilómetros por hora. Quiero cruzar una última línea de meta mientras mi mujer y mis diez hijos aplauden, y luego tumbarme en un campo de esos famosos girasoles franceses y expirar con gracia, la perfecta contradicción con mi antes conmovedora y temprana muerte.

• Memory's so treacherous. One moment you're lost in a carnival of delights with poignant childhood aromas, the flashing neon on puberty, all that sentimental candyfloss. The next, it leads you somewhere you don't want to go.. Somewhere dark and cold, filled with the damp ambiguous shapes of things you'd hoped were forgotten.

• I looked, and had an acute pleasure in looking,--a precious yet poignant pleasure; pure gold, with a steely point of agony: a pleasure like what the thirst-perishing man might feel who knows the well to which he has crept is poisoned, yet stoops and drinks divine draughts nevertheless.

• Jeff Chu's pilgrimage across America to discover his own place as a gay man in the Christian church as well as attitudes about being gay and Christian across denominations is at once timely, smart, poignant, disturbing, inspiring, and maddening. It's essential reading for anyone who cares about the rights of the LGBTQ community to be treated as equal citizens at every level, including the religious-which means it should be essential reading for everybody.

• Como sabes, el shibumi tiene que ver con el gran refinamiento que subyace a las apariencias comunes. Es una afirmación tan correcta que no tiene que ser atrevida, tan conmovedora que no tiene que ser bonita, tan verdadera que no tiene que ser real. Shibumi es comprensión, más que conocimiento. Silencio elocuente. En el comportamiento, es modestia sin pudor. En el arte, donde el espíritu de shibumi adopta la forma de sabi, es simplicidad elegante, brevedad articulada. En filosofía, donde el shibumi emerge como wabi, es tranquilidad espiritual que no es pasiva; es ser sin la angustia del devenir.

• Of all the agonies in life, that which is most poignant and harrowing--that which for the time annihilates reason, and leaves our whole organization one lacerated, mangled heart--is the conviction that we have been deceived where we placed all the trust of love.

• The Louvre! The Louvre has me in its clutches. Every time I'm there rich blessings rain down upon me. I am coming to understand Titian more and more and learning to love him. And then there is Botticelli's sweet Madonna, with red roses behind her, standing against a blue-green sky. And Fiesole with his poignant little biblical stories, so simply told, often so glorious in their colors.

• It was a bizarre existence I led in my early twenties - that cliche of the comedian who goes out and entertains a roomful of people and then goes home to a lonely bedsit was unbelievably poignant for me because that was exactly what I was doing. I had periods of real loneliness.

• Confined to common life thy numbers flow,
  And neither soar too high nor sink too low;
  There strength and ease in graceful union meet,
  Though polished, subtle, and though poignant, sweet;
  Yet powerful to abash the from of crime
  And crimson error's cheek with sportive rhyme.
  [Lat., Verba togae sequeris, junctura callidus acri,
  Ore teres modico, pallentes radere mores
  Doctus, et ingenuo culpam defigere ludo.]
