• Puesto que el tiempo es el único objeto inmaterial sobre el que no podemos influir -ni acelerarlo ni ralentizarlo, ni aumentarlo ni disminuirlo-, es un regalo imponderablemente valioso. Cada uno de nosotros dispone de unos minutos al día o de unas horas a la semana que podría donar a una residencia de ancianos o a un hospital infantil. Los ancianos cuyas almohadas rellenamos o cuyas jarras de agua rellenamos pueden o no agradecernos nuestro regalo, pero el regalo es mantener los cimientos del universo.

• La mente es un imán y atraemos aquello con lo que identificamos el yo. Para sacar el máximo partido de la vida debemos aprender conscientemente a cambiar muchos de nuestros patrones de pensamiento habituales. Esto no es fácil, ya que nuestros viejos patrones de pensamiento se aferran a nosotros con gran tenacidad, pero, al ser patrones de pensamiento, pueden invertirse. Si estás lleno de miedo, llénate de fe, porque la fe siempre vence al miedo.

• Este es un momento especialmente bueno para los veraneantes que planean volar, porque la administración Reagan, como parte de la misma política por la que recientemente vendió el Parque Nacional de Yellowstone a Wayne Newton, ha "desregulado" la industria aérea. Lo que esto significa para usted, el consumidor, es que las compañías aéreas ya no están obligadas a seguir ninguna norma. Pueden proyectar películas snuff. Pueden cobrar por el oxígeno. Pueden contratar pilotos recién salidos de la Escuela de Recarga de Máquinas Expendedoras.

• The eye can travel over the surface in a way parallel to the way it moves over nature. It should feel caressed and soothed, experience frictions and ruptures, glide and drift.

• La línea gris a lo largo del horizonte es más clara ahora, y con la llegada de la luz siento una certeza: que sólo hay, a pesar de nuestras locas imaginaciones, una vida. Las fantasmales otras, por muy reales que parezcan, por mucho que las necesitemos, son fantasmas. La única vida que nos queda es suficiente para llenar y volver a llenar de alegría nuestros corazones imperfectos, y luego para destrozarlos. Y nunca, nunca se detiene.

• During intermission she peeked out at the theater, watching it refill. When it was almost full and the lights blinked on and off, she saw three people file in through the center door and her breath caught. Time lapsed as they walked down the center aisle: three teenage girls all in a row. They were so big, so bright, so beautiful, so magnificent to Carmen’s eyes that she thought she was imagining them. They were like goddesses, like Titans. She was so proud of them! They were benevolent and they were righteous. Now, these were friends.
