  J. M. Coetzee

• Intellectual tasting of life will not supersede muscular activity. If a man should consider the nicety of the passage of a piece of bread down his throat, he would starve.

• Si te pones de frente y cara a cara con un hecho, verás brillar el sol en sus dos superficies, como si fuera un címetro, y sentirás su dulce filo dividiéndote por el corazón y los tuétanos, y así concluirás felizmente tu carrera mortal. Ya se trate de la vida o de la muerte, sólo anhelamos la realidad. Si realmente estamos muriendo, oigamos el traqueteo en nuestras gargantas y sintamos frío en las extremidades; si estamos vivos, sigamos con lo nuestro.

• En estos días americanos no hay mucho más que hacer que levantarse la gorra para divertirse. .... Los hijos de los granjeros miran cada hora para ver a un malabarista sacar cintas de su garganta, aunque él les diga que todo es un engaño. Ciertamente, los hombres aman más la oscuridad que la luz.

• Un poeta nunca debe hacer una afirmación simplemente porque suene poéticamente emocionante; también debe creer que es cierta". - W. H. Auden
  "Un poema... comienza como un nudo en la garganta, una sensación de agravio, una nostalgia, un mal de amores... Encuentra el pensamiento y el pensamiento encuentra las palabras.

• Not my biggest fear, but my biggest problem onstage is over-emphasizing what I do. I'm pushing too hard. You need to engage an audience. They need to be able to involve their own imaginations as well. They don't need everything thrust down their throat, and I have a tendency to do that. I always have had a tendency to do that.

• I like to make my voice sound like a piece of tin that's been stuck on the side of a chair, lifted up as far as it would go and then let to spring - "doooiiinng." I like to make it into a piece of metal from time to time and I can do it, both with the movements in my throat and with, uh, my little toys... So I like to take it beyond just a voice, more into the realms of a weapon.

• Esto es lo más malo que me han hecho nunca", dije con la garganta llena de lágrimas. "Quiero que lo sepas". Pero incluso cuando las palabras salían de mi boca, sabía que no era verdad. En el gran esquema histórico de las cosas, que mi padre nos dejara era sin duda peor. Lo cual es una de las muchas cosas que apestaban de mi padre... me privó para siempre de la posibilidad de decirle a otro hombre: "Esto es lo peor que me ha pasado en la vida, y lo digo en serio".

• Something caught in her throat at this second thanks, when she'd threatened him so brutally. When you're a monster, she thought, you are thanked and praised for not behaving like a monster. She would like to restrain from cruelty and receive no admiration for it.

• I shake my head. I pick up the rake and start making the dead-leaf pile neater. A blister pops and stains the rake handle like a tear. Dad nods and walks to the Jeep, keys jangling in his fingers. A mockingbird lands on a low oak branch and scolds me. I rake the leaves out of my throat. Me: "Can you buy some seeds? Flower seeds?

• Nothing could be taken for granted. Women who loved you tried to cut your throat, while women who didn't even know your name scrubbed your back. Witches could sound like Katharine Hepburn and your best friend could try to strangle you. Smack in the middle of an orchid there might be a blob of jello and inside a Mickey Mouse doll, a fixed and radiant star.

• It would be impossible to accept naturalism itself if we really and consistently believed naturalism. For naturalism is a system of thought. But for naturalism all thoughts are mere events with irrational causes. It is, to me at any rate, impossible to regard the thoughts which make up naturalism in that way and, at the same time, regard them as a real insight into external reality...If it is true, then we can know no truths. It cuts its own throat.

• But the truth, he knows, is otherwise. His pleasure in living has been snuffed out. Like a leaf on a stream, like a puffball on a breeze, he has begun to float towards his end. He sees it quite clearly, and it fills him with (the word will not go away) despair. The blood of life is leaving his body and despair is taking its place, despair that is like a gas, odourless, tasteless, without nourishment. You breathe it in, your limbs relax, you cease to care, even at the moment when the steel touches your throat.

• En un banquete, Calígula sufrió de repente un ataque de risa impotente. Los cónsules reclinados a su lado le preguntaron si podían compartir la alegría imperial. Calígula, enjugándose las lágrimas de los ojos, consiguió jadear: "¡Nunca lo adivinaréis! De repente se me ocurrió que sólo tenía que asentir con la cabeza y vuestros dos cuellos serían cortados en el acto".
