• What did I care about my hammer, about my bolt, about thirst or death? There was, on one star, on one planet, on mine, the Earth, a little prince to be consoled! I took him in my arms. I rocked him. I told him, 'The flower you love is not in danger...I'll draw you a muzzle for your sheep...I'll draw you a fence for your flower...I' I didn't know what to say. How clumsy I felt! I didn't know how to reach him, where to find him...It's so mysterious, the land of tears.

  Antoine de Saint-Exupery

• Por eso el pan fue creado para gloria de Cristo. El hambre y la sed fueron creados para la gloria de Cristo. Y el ayuno fue creado para gloria de Cristo. Lo que significa que el pan engrandece a Cristo de dos maneras: comiéndolo con gratitud por su bondad, y dejándolo de comer por hambre de Dios mismo. Cuando comemos, saboreamos el emblema de nuestro alimento celestial: el Pan de Vida. Y cuando ayunamos decimos: "Amo la Realidad sobre el emblema". En el corazón del santo, tanto el comer como el ayunar son adoración. Ambos magnifican a Cristo.

• Todo el objeto de la verdadera educación es hacer que las personas no sólo hagan las cosas correctas, sino que disfruten de las cosas correctas - no meramente industriosos, sino que amen la industria - no meramente eruditos, sino que amen el conocimiento - no meramente puros, sino que amen la pureza - no meramente justos, sino que tengan hambre y sed de justicia.

• Come, fix upon me that accusing eye.
  I thirst for accusation. All that was sung.
  All that was said in Ireland is a lie
  Breed out of the contagion of the throng,
  Saving the rhyme rats hear before they die.

• La codicia lleva a una persona al abrevadero, pero la devuelve sin dejarle beber. Asume su responsabilidad, pero no la cumple. A menudo, el bebedor se ahoga antes de saciar su sed. Cuanto mayor es el valor de una cosa anhelada, mayor es el dolor por su pérdida. Los deseos ciegan los ojos del entendimiento. La parte destinada llegará a quien no se acerque a ella.

• Love hunger and thirst for the sake of Christ. Insofar as you pacify your body, so much much will you do make your soul virtuous. God, who rewards thoughts, words, and deeds, will give good in return for even a small thing which you gladly suffer for His sake.

• Lo importante no es tanto que se enseñe a cada niño, sino que cada niño tenga la oportunidad de enseñarse a sí mismo. ¿Qué importa que el alumno sepa un poco más o un poco menos? Un niño que sale de la escuela sabiendo mucho, pero odiando sus lecciones, pronto habrá olvidado todo lo que alguna vez aprendió; mientras que otro que ha adquirido una sed de conocimiento, aunque haya aprendido poco, pronto se enseñará a sí mismo más de lo que el primero jamás supo.

• The poor and needy search for water, but there is none; their tongues are parched with thirst. But I the LORD will answer them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them. I will make rivers flow on barren heights, and springs within the valleys. I will turn the desert into pools of water, and the parched ground into springs.

• There is no thirst of the soul so consuming as the desire for pardon. The sense of its bestowal is the starting-point of all goodness. It comes bringing with it, if not the freshness of innocence, yet a glow of inspiration that nerves feeble hands for hard tasks, a fire of hope that lights anew the old high ideal, so that it stands before the eye in clear relief, beckoning to make it out on its own.

  Charles Brent

• To expel hunger and thirst there is no necessity of sitting in a palace and submitting to the supercilious brow and contumelious favour of the rich and great there is no necessity of sailing upon the deep or of following the camp What nature wants is every where to be found and attainable without much difficulty whereas require the sweat of the brow for these we are obliged to dress anew j compelled to grow old in the field and driven to foreign mores A sufficiency is always at hand

• A poem makes clear without making simple. Poetry's language carries what lives outside language. It's as if you were given a 5-gallon bucket with 10 gallons of water in it. Mysterious thirsts are answered. That alchemical bucket carries secrets also, even the ones we keep from ourselves.

• I want to preserve a certain unknowing about my own poems - perhaps because unknowing is in itself a useful poetic thirst. To move the perimeter of saying outside my own boundaries is one reason I write.

• You may ... make a little recreation of poetry, in the midst of your painful studies. Nevertheless, I cannot but advise you. Withhold thy throat from thirst. Be not so set upon poetry, as to be always poring on the passionate and measured pages. ... let not the Circean cup intoxicate you.

• The birth of a man is the birth of his sorrow. The longer he lives, the more stupid he becomes, because his anxiety to avoid unavoidable death becomes more and more acute. What bitterness! He lives for what is always out of reach! His thirst for survival in the future makes him incapable of living in the present.

• A blind man. I can stare at him
  ashamed, shameless. Or does he know it?
  No, he is in a great solitude.

  to gaze my fill at a stranger's face.
  No, my thirst is greater than before.
