• El deporte es una metáfora seductora (la vida como un juego en el que obtenemos la victoria mediante el trabajo duro, la disciplina y la visualización del éxito). pero la metáfora más antigua de la agricultura (la vida como un trabajo duro que está sujeto al clima y a caprichos del destino ciego y que puede no reportar recompensa alguna y no te sorprendas) sigue en nuestra sangre.

• Sin embargo, no es la edad adulta en sí, sino la paternidad la que forma el sudario de cristal de la memoria. Existe una peculiaridad interesante en la memoria de las mujeres. A los 30, las mujeres ven su adolescencia con bastante claridad. A los 30, la adolescencia de una mujer sigue siendo una faceta que encaja en su yo actual..... A los 40, sin embargo, los recuerdos de la adolescencia se difuminan. Las mujeres de esta edad buscan mucho más recuerdos de sí mismas y de sus madres en su primera infancia. Esto enlaza con su fase de crianza típica.

• When you shoot a scene, you remember every moment. You remember when your head went down, your head went up. You don't see little quirks, little eye movements, little lip movements. Once again, you become completely vain when you're watching it in a way that you weren't when you were shooting it. And the vanity, what it makes you focus on are everything that has nothing to do with the scene and everything to do with your own ego.

• Un cazador que se precie no caza porque ponga sus trampas, o porque conozca las rutinas de caza de su presa, sino porque él mismo no tiene rutinas. Esta es su ventaja. No se parece en nada a los animales que persigue, fijados por rutinas pesadas y manías predecibles; es libre, fluido, impredecible...".

• Hasta cierto punto, la vida de una persona está moldeada por el entorno, la herencia y los cambios del mundo que la rodea. Entonces llega un momento en que está en su mano moldear la arcilla de su vida para convertirla en lo que desea que sea. Sólo los débiles culpan a sus padres, a su raza, a su época, a la falta de fortuna o a los caprichos del destino. Todo el mundo tiene el poder de decir: "Esto soy hoy. Esto seré mañana".

• La violencia es el patrón oro, la reserva que garantiza el orden. En realidad, es mejor que un patrón oro, porque la violencia tiene valor universal. La violencia trasciende las peculiaridades de la filosofía, la religión, la tecnología y la cultura. () Es hora de dejar de preocuparse y aprender a amar el hacha de guerra. La historia nos enseña que si no lo hacemos nosotros, lo hará otro.

• For me, Savannah's resistance to change was its saving grace. The city looked inward, sealed off from the noises and distractions of the world at large. It grew inward, too, and in such a way that its people flourished like hothouse plants tended by an indulgent gardener. The ordinary became extraordinary. Eccentrics thrived. Every nuance and quirk of personality achieved greater brilliance in that lush enclosure than would have been possible anywhere else in the world.

• When the most learned evolutionists can give neither the how nor the why, the marvels seem to show that adaptation is inexplicable. Yet those who cannot explain it will not admit that it is inexplicable. This is a strange situation, only partly ascribable to the rather unscientific conviction that evidence will be found in the future. It is due to a psychological quirk [in the minds of its advocates].

• Martin Swinger is one of those rare singer-songwriters who excels at everything: singing, songwriting, guitar-playing, and being so present with his humor, tenderness, and wild mind that his performances are also deep conversations, soul to soul and heart to heart, about the quirks, surprises, and love that brings us most alive. His songs, ranging from the little plastic parts that hold the world together, to what enlightenment comes from Buddha and Betty Boop falling in love, are whimsically and wisely original and enduring.

• And we all get mired in the bullshit, the personality quirks, the personality disorders (ours and everyone else's), the jealousy, the disappointment, the blocks, the financial struggle, our egos, I do it too, I do it too, but if you can't remember it is all about the work and nothing else then I can't help you and you can't help yourself and you will lose. I promise you. You will lose.
