• Buenas noches. Un Presidente que nos mintió para meternos en una guerra y, al hacerlo, mató innecesariamente a 3.584 de nuestros familiares, amigos y vecinos; un Presidente cuya administración intentó inicialmente destruir al primer hombre que denunció esa mentira; un Presidente cuyos secuaces arruinaron después la carrera del activo de inteligencia que era su esposa cuando los activos de inteligencia nunca fueron más esenciales para la viabilidad de la República; un Presidente así ha liberado esta noche de la perspectiva de la cárcel al único hombre que ha sido juzgado por uno de los delitos graves componentes de lo que puede ser el mayor crimen de este joven siglo.

• Mi dulce rosa, mi delicada flor, mi lirio de los lirios, es quizás en la cárcel donde voy a probar el poder del amor. Voy a ver si no puedo hacer dulces a los amargos guardianes con la intensidad del amor que te profeso. He tenido momentos en que pensé que sería prudente separarme. ¡Ah! ¡Momentos de debilidad y locura! Ahora veo que eso habría mutilado mi vida, arruinado mi arte, roto las cuerdas musicales que hacen un alma perfecta. Incluso cubierto de barro te alabaré, desde los abismos más profundos te gritaré. En mi soledad estarás conmigo.

  Oscar Wilde

• Un niño que pasa por muchas manos sucesivamente, nunca puede ser bien educado. A cada cambio hace una comparación secreta, que tiende continuamente a disminuir su respeto por quienes lo controlan, y con ello su autoridad sobre él. Si una vez piensa que hay personas adultas que no tienen más sentido común que los niños, la autoridad de la edad se destruye y su educación se arruina.

Give yourselves to prayer, and get your texts, your thoughts, your words from God.

• My life, my life, now I speak of it as of something over, now as of a joke which still goes on, and it is neither, for at the same time it is over and it goes on, and is there any tense for
  that? Watch wound and buried by the watchmaker, before he died, whose ruined works will one day speak of God, to the worms.

• La gracia no demoniza nuestros deseos ni los destruye ni nos lleva a negarlos. La gracia es la obra del Espíritu Santo transformando nuestros deseos para que conocer a Jesús sea más dulce que el sexo ilícito, más dulce que el dinero y lo que éste puede comprar, más dulce que toda alegría infructuosa. La gracia es Dios satisfaciendo nuestras almas con Su Hijo para que estemos arruinados para cualquier otra cosa.
