• ... Oceanic malaise. I never saw anyone reading anything more demanding than a comic book. I never heard any youth express an interest in science or art. No one even talked politics. It was all idleness, and whenever I asked someone a question, no matter how simple, no matter how well the person spoke English, there was always a long pause before I got a reply, and I found these Pacific pauses maddening. And there was giggling but no humor - no wit. It was just foolery.

• Las bestias son muy sabias,
  Sus bocas están limpias de mentiras,
  Hablan unos con otros,
  Hermanos buey con buey
  Descansando después de sus trabajos,
  Cada uno en el establo con sus vecinos,
  Pero el hombre con la pértiga y el látigo,
  Rompe su compañerismo,
  Grita en sus oídos sedosos
  Llenándoles el alma de miedo.
  Cuando ha arado la tierra,
  Dice: "ellos entienden."
  Pero las bestias en el establo juntas,
  Liberadas del yugo y del ronzal,
  Dicen mientras el flanco desgarrado humea:
  "No, fue el látigo el que habló."

• If God suffers in the flesh when He is made man, should we not rejoice when we suffer, for we have God to share our sufferings? This shared suffering confers the kingdom on us. For he spoke truly who said, 'If we suffer with Him, then we shall also be glorified with Him' (Rom. 8:17).

• I call it "pedal magic" and only those who ride know the utter ecstasy of bicycling. Pressing a pedal toward Earth gives flight to my fancy.

Spinning spokes create flashing metal upon an endless path-cycling feels like an infinite spiritual rush. It cleanses my mind. All my troubles fade into joy.

• I have always used the burqa because men are using the burqa in the name of culture and religion to take freedom from women. Women are alive, they have their own wishes and desires, but all the time they have to sacrifice that. They are a kind of skeleton, which doesn't have muscles. They're just breathing, like a kind of puppet that barely exists. If women spoke for their rights, they were beaten by their husbands. So they don't have a voice. They lose their voices and their wishes and their happiness.
