  And send me songless to the sullen grave.

• Sabes, creo que ahora entiendo cómo eres. Eres muy guapa y crees que los hombres sólo se interesan por ti porque eres guapa. Pero quieres que se interesen en ti porque eres tú. El problema es que, aparte de toda esa belleza, no eres muy interesante. Eres grosera, hostil, huraña, retraída... Ah, ya sé, quieres que alguien mire más allá de todo eso a la persona real que hay debajo. Pero la única razón por la que alguien se molestaría en mirar más allá de todo eso es porque eres hermosa. Irónico, ¿no? De una manera extraña, tú eres tu propio problema.

  Jack Nicholson

  Beautiful, Real, Past

• Toda resistencia interior se experimenta como negatividad de una forma u otra. Toda negatividad es resistencia. En este contexto, las dos palabras son casi sinónimas.
  La negatividad abarca desde la irritación o la impaciencia hasta la ira feroz, desde el estado de ánimo depresivo o el resentimiento hosco hasta la desesperación suicida. A veces, la resistencia desencadena el dolor emocional corporal

Fixed in slimethey speak their piece, end it, and start again:'Sullen were we in the air made sweet by the Sun;in the glory of his shining our hearts poureda bitter smoke.

• Punitive measures whether administered by police, teachers, spouses or parents have well known standard effects: (1) escape-education has its own name for that: truancy, (2) counterattack-vandalism on schools and attacks on teachers, (3) apathy-a sullen do-nothing withdrawal. The more violent the punishment, the more serious the by-products.

• The parent who loves his child dearly but asks for nothing in return might qualify as a saint, but he will not qualify as a parent. For a child who can claim love without meeting any of the obligations of love will be a self-centered child and many such children have grown up in our time to become petulant lovers and sullen marriage partners because the promise of unconditional love has not been fulfilled.

• No existe fabricante o comerciante que no emplee a un hombre que se enorgullezca razonablemente de su apariencia y de la de los que le rodean, en lugar de a un tipo huraño y desaliñado, que trabaja tenazmente, sin importarle su propia ropa ni la de su esposa e hijos, y que parece no sentir placer ni orgullo por nada.

• Todas las cosas que ordenamos festival
  se convierten de su oficio en negro funeral...
  Nuestros instrumentos en campanas melancólicas,
  Nuestra alegría nupcial en un triste festín funerario;
  Nuestros himnos solemnes se convierten en lúgubres cantos fúnebres;
  Nuestras flores nupciales sirven para un cadáver enterrado;
  Y todas las cosas las cambian al contrario.

  William Shakespeare

• Señores, protesto que mi alma está llena de aflicción
  Que la sangre me salpique para hacerme crecer.
  Venid, llorad conmigo lo que yo lamento,
  Y poned hosco negro incontinente.
  Haré un viaje a Tierra Santa
  Para lavar esta sangre de mi mano culpable.
  Marchad tristemente después. Gracia a mis lamentos aquí
  En llanto tras este féretro inoportuno.
