• To be a man, to have been born without knowing it or wanting it, to be thrown into the ocean of existence, to be obliged to swim, to exist; to have an identity; to resist the pressure and shocks from the outside and the unforeseen and unforeseeable acts - one's own and those of others - which so often exceed one's capacities? And what is more, to endure one's own thoughts about all this: in a word, to be human.

• Los ojos de Will se encontraron con los de Tessa cuando ésta se acercó, casi tropezando de nuevo con el dobladillo rasgado de su vestido. Por un momento, se entendieron a la perfección. Jem era el tema por el que aún podían mirarse a los ojos. En cuanto a Jem, ambos eran fieros e inflexibles. Tessa vio cómo la mano de Will se tensaba en la manga de Jem. "Está aquí", dijo. Los ojos de Jem se abrieron lentamente. Tessa luchó por mantener la expresión de asombro en su rostro. Tenía las pupilas dilatadas, y el iris era un fino anillo de plata alrededor del negro. "Ni shou shang le ma, quin ai de?", susurró.

• Es obvio que el arte no puede enseñar nada a nadie, ya que en cuatro mil años la humanidad no ha aprendido nada en absoluto. Hace tiempo que deberíamos habernos convertido en ángeles si hubiéramos sido capaces de prestar atención a la experiencia del arte y dejarnos cambiar de acuerdo con los ideales que expresa. El arte sólo tiene la capacidad, a través de la conmoción y la catarsis, de hacer que el alma humana sea receptiva al bien. Es ridículo imaginar que se puede enseñar a la gente a ser buena... El arte sólo puede dar alimento - una sacudida - la ocasión - para la experiencia psíquica.

• Toby smiled and started to speak, but Josh adjusted his hold on Tank and reached back, covering Toby's mouth. "Wait," Grace said. "I think he was going to actually use words." "Yeah, but trust me, you don't want to hear them." Toby pulled Josh's hand away. "Are you my new mommy?" Grace's mouth fell open in shock, and Toby giggled at the sight. "Okay, Tiger," Josh said.

• I cannot think of a single word to describe what we feel. I think we all feel it, to varying degrees. Perhaps in some other language there is a word for 'the world is terribly wrong.' That feeling of stun and unbelief and abandonment and shock and horror and distress.

• Music [is] the third rail of life. You grabbed it to shock yourself out of the dull drag of hours. To feel something. To burn with all the emotions you didn't get to experience in the ordinary run of school, TV, and loading the dishwasher after dinner.

• Rhoda comes now, having slipped in while we were not looking. She must have made a tortuous course, taking cover now behind a waiter, now behind some ornamental pillar, so as to put off as long as possible the shock of recognition, so as to be secure for one more moment to rock her petals in her basin. We wake her. We torture her. She dreads us, she despises us, yet she comes cringing to our sides because for al our cruelty there is always some name, some face which sheds a radiance, which lights up her pavements and makes it possible for her to replenish her dreams.

• Life is not as idle ore,
  But iron dug from central gloom,
  And heated hot with burning fears,
  And dipt in baths of hissing tears,
  And batter'd with the shocks of doom,
  To shape and use.

• Your love in a cottage is hungry,
  Your vine is a nest for flies-
  Your milkmaid shocks the Graces,
  And simplicity talks of pies!
  You lie down to your shady slumber
  And wake with a bug in your ear,
  And your damsel that walks in the morning
  Is shod like a mountaineer.

• El cristianismo se sostiene o cae con su protesta revolucionaria contra la violencia, la arbitrariedad y el orgullo del poder y con su defensa de los débiles. Los cristianos hacen muy poco por poner de manifiesto estos puntos, en lugar de hacer demasiado. La cristiandad se adapta con demasiada facilidad al culto del poder. Los cristianos deberían ofender más, escandalizar mucho más al mundo, de lo que lo están haciendo ahora. Los cristianos deberían adoptar una postura más firme a favor de los débiles en lugar de considerar primero el posible derecho de los fuertes.

• Over the years, the U.S. economy has shown a remarkable ability to absorb shocks of all kinds, to recover, and to continue to grow.

• Los niños exigen que sus héroes no tengan pecas, y así lo creen fácilmente: tal vez un primer descubrimiento de lo contrario sea un choque menos revolucionario para un niño apasionado que la amenaza de derrumbe de las creencias habituales que hace que el mundo parezca tambalearse para nosotros en la vida madura.
