• Escuché la voz que tan bien conocía, la que siempre oía al principio. ¡Buena chica, Macy! Lo estás haciendo muy bien. ¡Sabes que los primeros pasos son los más difíciles! Lo fueron. A veces me sentía tan desincronizada que era imposible no abandonar tras unas cuantas zancadas. Pero seguí adelante, como ahora. Tenía que hacerlo, para llegar a la siguiente parte, esta parte, donde finalmente alcancé a Wes, mi sombra se alineó con la suya, y él se volvió para mirarme, apartándose el pelo de los ojos.

• Los demás se habían tomado con calma el regreso de Valek, aunque Janco hizo un comentario sobre la falta de pelo de Valek. "¿Te has dado cuenta de que las parejas empiezan a parecerse?", preguntó. De hecho, estaba pensando en lo mucho que os parecéis Topaz y tú. Es extraño.

• A bus came. The soldier turned away from her and walked toward it. Tatiana watched him. Even his walk was from another world; the step was too sure, the stride too long, yet somehow it all seemed right, looked right, felt right. It was like stumbling on a book you thought you had lost. Ah, yes, there it is.

• El amor es complicado. Nunca es mundano ni cotidiano. Nunca puedes acostumbrarte a él. Tienes que caminar con él, y luego dejar que camine contigo. Nunca te puedes resistir. Te mueve como la marea. Te lleva mar adentro y luego te deposita de nuevo en la playa. El dolor de la lucha de hoy es la base de una zancada certera por los cielos. Puedes huir de él, pero nunca puedes decir que no. Incluye a todo el mundo.

• Stuart stands and says, 'Come here,' and he's on my side of the room in one stride and he claps my hands to his hips and kisses my mouth like I am the drink he's been dying for all day and I've heard girls say it's like melting, that feeling. But I think it's like rising, growing even taller and seeing sights over a hedge, colors you've never seen before.

• Las personas inteligentes y pensantes podían tomarse las cosas así con calma, igual que se tomaban los absurdos más grandes de trabajos mortalmente aburridos en la ciudad y casas mortalmente aburridas en los suburbios. Las circunstancias económicas podían obligarte a vivir en ese entorno, pero lo importante era no contaminarse. Lo importante, siempre, era recordar quién eras.

• It is sometimes said that because of our past we, as a people, expect too much and set our sights too high. That is not the way I see it. Rather it seems to me that throughout my life in politics our ambitions have steadily shrunk. Our response to disappointment has not been to lengthen our stride but to shorten the distance to be covered. But with confidence in ourselves and in our future what a nation we could be!

• Los delegados andantes de una civilización superior, que no tienen nada que dividir, consideran la noción de propiedad como una creación puramente artificial de la sociedad humana. Según estos filósofos avanzados, llegará el momento en que a ningún hombre se le permitirá llamar suyo a nada. La benéfica ley que quita a un autor los derechos sobre sus propios libros justo en el período en que la vejez se arrastra sobre él me parece un hermoso paso hacia el anhelado milenio.

• Too many escape into complexity these days. For it is an escape for persons to cry, when this question of the equality of peoples is raised in India or in our own South, 'Ah, but the situation is not so simple.' ... no great stride forward is ever made for the individual or for the human race unless the complex situation is reduced to one simple question and its simple answer.

  Pearl S. Buck

• Occasionally there is a moment in a person's life when he takes a great stride forward in wisdom, humility, or disillusionment. For a split second he comes into a kind of cosmic understanding. For a trembling breath of time he knows all there is to know. He is loaned the gift the poet yearned for - seeing himself as others see him.

  Betty Smith

• There's nothing to stop a man from writing unless that man stops himself. If a man truly desires to write, then he will. Rejection and ridicule will only strengthen him. And the longer he is held back the stronger he will become, like a mass of rising water against a dam. There is no losing in writing, it will make your toes laugh as you sleep, it will make you stride like a tiger, it will fire the eye and put you face to face with death. You will die a fighter, you will be honored in hell. The luck of the word. Go with it, send it.

  Charles Bukowski

• For people sometimes believed that it was safer to live with complaints,
  was necessary to cooperate with grief, was all right to become an accomplice in self-ambush...
  Take heart to flat out decide to be well and stride into the future sane and whole.

• I am struck by the fact that the more slowly trees grow at first, the sounder they are at the core, and I think that the same is true of human beings. We do not wish to see children precocious, making great strides in their early years like sprouts, producing a soft and perishable timber, but better if they expand slowly at first, as if contending with difficulties, and so are solidified and perfected. Such trees continue to expand with nearly equal rapidity to extreme old age.
