Pulling Away Quotes

• Como cuerpo en un mundo, aquí está nuestra elección: podemos ser más amorosos o menos amorosos. Eso es. Podemos relajarnos en el remolino de amor que es todo el espectáculo del momento, sintiéndonos abiertos a todo -una lluvia feroz, el piar de los pájaros, los labios de nuestro amante, una sensación de inutilidad- o podemos cerrarnos a algún aspecto de la experiencia, apartándonos como si estuviéramos separados.

• Strange, how such a small realization can affect everyone's life forever. In movies there is always a carefully staged moment - a big crescendo of music, close- ups of the actors' faces, the camera slowly pulling away to let all this sink in for the viewer...but, in real life, most all of the extraordinary things happen with no more loudness than a whisper.

• If people start pulling away the stereotypes of what angels are instead of these fluffy, teddy-bear kinds of angels, then they'll see, historically, that they were terrifying in some depictions. In the Bible, from what I remember, often the reaction to angels is one of terror.

• Uno se da cuenta de que las relaciones humanas son la trágica necesidad de la vida humana; que nunca pueden ser totalmente satisfactorias, que cada ego está la mitad del tiempo buscándolas ávidamente y la otra mitad alejándose de ellas. En esas relaciones sencillas de marido y mujer cariñosos, hermanas afectuosas, hijos y abuela, hay innumerables matices de dulzura y angustia que conforman el patrón de nuestras vidas día a día, aunque no figuran en la lista de temas a partir de los cuales trabaja el novelista convencional.

• I think in terms of me shying away from modelling, I would like to clarify in some way that I was taking a break from many things in my life and obviously what people in the public see is that I'm pulling away from what is more public.

• Anything that really frightens you may contain a clue to enlightenment. It may indicate to you how deeply you are attached to structure, whether mental, physical, or social. Attachment and resistance are appearances with the same root: when you resist by pulling away your awareness, the emotion is one of fear, and the contraction is experienced as a pull like magnetism or gravity; that is, attachment. That is why we often fear to open our minds to more exalted spiritual beings. We think fear is a signal to withdraw, when in fact it is a sign we are already withdrawing too much.

• Extrañamente, lo que más le atravesó el corazón y la mente no fue el recuerdo de sus labios bajo los suyos en el baile, sino la forma en que se había inclinado hacia su cuello, como si confiara plenamente en él. Habría dado todo lo que tenía en el mundo y todo lo que jamás tendría, sólo por tumbarse a su lado en la estrecha cama de la enfermería y abrazarla mientras dormía. Separarse de ella había sido como arrancarse la propia piel, pero había tenido que hacerlo.

• Any more questions?" I ask, poking him gently in the ribs. "Do you still love me any?" Eliot asks, putting his hand over mine. "A little." "A little?" he asks, pulling away from me. "A lot." "How much?" he asks. "More than chocolate chip cookies." "Mmm" he says, kissing my shoulder. "More than walking on the beach." Eliot kisses me on the neck. "More than . . ." I pause, turning to look at him. "More than?" he asks, kissing my lips. I turn toward him. "Anything.

• Estaban tan cerca que podía sentir el latido acelerado de su corazón. Podía sentir la indecisión de Charlotte en cada palabra que no decía y en cada movimiento que no hacía. Estaba tensa por la incertidumbre, temblorosa por la irresolución. Puede que no se inclinara hacia él, pero tampoco se alejaba.
