• Tardamos mucho en descubrir lo ricos que somos. Nuestra historia, estamos seguros, es bastante insulsa: no tenemos nada que escribir, nada que deducir. Pero nuestros años más sabios todavía se remontan a los despreciados recuerdos de la infancia, y siempre estamos pescando algún artículo maravilloso de ese estanque; hasta que, poco a poco, empezamos a sospechar que la biografía de la única persona tonta que conocemos es, en realidad, nada menos que la paráfrasis en miniatura de los cien volúmenes de la Historia Universal.

• Nunca des a los niños la oportunidad de imaginar que algo existe aislado. Deja claro desde el principio que todo lo vivo es relación. Muéstrales las relaciones en los bosques, en los campos, en los estanques y arroyos, en el pueblo y en el país que lo rodea. Explícaselo.

• Las cuencas hidrográficas vienen en familias; niveles anidados de intimidad... A medida que avanzas río arriba hacia tu hogar, tu relación es más estrecha. El gran río es como tu nación, un poco fuera de control. El lago es tu primo. El arroyo es tu hermana. El estanque es su hijo. Y, para bien o para mal, en la salud y en la enfermedad, estás casado con tu fregadero.

  Michael Parfit

• The earth with yellow pearsAnd overgrown with roses wildUpon the pond is bent,And swans divine,With kisses drunkYou drop your headsIn the sublimely sobering water.But where, with winter come, am ITo find, alas, the floweres, and whereThe sunshineAnd the shadow of the world?Cold the walls standAnd the wordless, in the windThe weathercocks are rattling.

• I am your lover, come to my side, I will open the gate to your love. Come settle with me, let us be neighbors to the stars. You have been hiding so long, endlessly drifting in the sea of my love. Even so, you have always been connected to me. Concealed, revealed, in the unknown, in the un-manifest. I am life itself. You have been a prisoner of a little pond, I am the ocean and its turbulent flood. Come merge with me, leave this world of ignorance. Be with me, I will open the gate to your love.

  Rumi

• Man shouldn’t be able to see his own face – there’s nothing more sinister. Nature gave him the gift of not being able to see it, and of not being able to stare into his own eyes. Only in the water of rivers and ponds could he look at his face. And the very posture he had to assume was symbolic. He had to bend over, stoop down, to commit the ignominy of beholding himself. The inventor of the mirror poisoned the human heart.

  Fernando Pessoa

• Ponder deep wisdom, dark or clear,
  Each secret fishy hope or fear.
  Fish say, they have their Stream and Pond;
  But is there anything Beyond?
  This life cannot be All, they swear,
  For how unpleasant, if it were!
  One may not doubt that, somehow, Good
  Shall come of Water and of Mud;
  And, sure, the reverent eye must see
  A Purpose in Liquidity.

  Rupert Brooke

  Eye, Dark, Water

  'Heaven' (1915)

• When I was a kid, I felt like I could do anything and play anything. I just felt super-confident. And then, once I started to play music professionally, maybe it's from being from a small town, but you grow up and then you're suddenly a big fish in a small pond, and I realized that there were a billion other drummers out there that could play as good as you or better, and everybody wants that job.

• White Pond y Walden son grandes cristales en la superficie de la tierra, Lagos de Luz.... Son demasiado puros para tener un valor de mercado; no contienen suciedad. ¡Cuánto más bellos que nuestras vidas, cuánto más transparentes que nuestros caracteres son! Nunca aprendimos la mezquindad de ellos.

• When we can drain the Ocean into mill-ponds, and bottle up the Force of Gravity, to be sold by retail, in gas jars; then may we hope to comprehend the infinitudes of man's soul under formulas of Profit and Loss; and rule over this too, as over a patent engine, by checks, and valves, and balances.
