• As I came home through the woods with my string of fish, trailing my pole, it being now quite dark, I caught a glimpse of a woodchuck stealing across my path, and felt a strange thrill of savage delight, and was strongly tempted to seize and devour him raw; not that I was hungry then, except for that wildness which he represented.

• Un retumbar de cuerdas de piano más allá de los jardines y a través de los olmos. Al final, la melodía se introduce en mi ser. No sé cuándo empezó a ocuparme. Por alguna afortunada coincidencia de pensamiento o circunstancia, estoy en sintonía con el universo, estoy preparado para oír, mi ser se mueve en una esfera de melodía, mi fantasía e imaginación se excitan hasta un grado inconcebible. Esta ya no es la tierra aburrida en la que me encontraba.

• The trombones crunched redgold under my bed, and behind my gulliver the trumpets three-wise silverflamed, and there by the door the timps rolling through my guts and out again crunched like candy thunder. Oh, it was wonder of wonders. And then, a bird of like rarest spun heavenmetal, or like silvery wine flowing in a spaceship, gravity all nonsense now, came the violin solo above all the other strings, and those strings were like a cage of silk around my bed. Then flute and oboe bored, like worms of like platinum, into the thick thick toffee gold and silver. I was in such bliss, my brothers.

• Guests stay where you've put them, and carry on doing whatever you suggested they do, until you suggest they stop and do something else.

• El judío continúa monopolizando el dinero, y afloja o estrangula la garganta del estado con el aflojamiento o fortalecimiento de sus cuerdas del monedero...

Él está en el fondo de... toda empresa que demolerá en primer lugar los tronos, después el altar, después la ley civil.

• Por eso existe el mundo. Permanece fuera del cubo de la basura cósmica de la nada, no porque sea una necesidad tan solemne que nadie pueda deshacerse de él, sino porque es la piel de naranja colgada en la araña de Dios, el hueso de la suerte en el armario de su cocina. A Él le gusta; por lo tanto, se queda. Toda la maravillosa colección de piedras, pieles, plumas y cuerdas existe porque al menos un amante nunca le ha quitado el ojo de encima, porque el Dominus vivificans se deleita con los hijos de los hombres.

• Una persona madura tiene la integridad de permanecer sola. Y cuando una persona madura da amor, lo da sin ataduras. Cuando dos personas maduras están enamoradas, se produce una de las grandes paradojas de la vida, uno de los fenómenos más bellos: están juntas y, sin embargo, tremendamente solas. Están tan juntos que casi son uno. Dos personas maduras enamoradas se ayudan mutuamente a ser más libres. No hay política, ni diplomacia, ni esfuerzo por dominar. Sólo libertad y amor.

• I have had much experience with the unclean and uncivilized in the recent past. Shall I tell you what I discovered? I am not the state of my feet. I am not the dirt on my hands or the hygiene of my private parts. If I were these things, I would not have been at liberty to pray at any time since my arrest. But I did pray, because I am not these things. In the end, I am not even myself. I am a string of bones speaking the word God.
