• La impuntualidad es lo más parecido a la maldad en una sociedad implacable en su consumo del tiempo como bien y como servicio -como tuit e Instagram, clip de película y fragmento de sonido, como acontecimiento deportivo, oportunidad de inversión, ligue de Tinder y tasa de interés-, cuyo valor no se mide por su textura o su sustancia, sino por la velocidad de su entrega, una distinción evidente para Andy Warhol cuando supuestamente dijo que cualquier cuadro que tarde más de cinco minutos en hacerse es un mal cuadro.

  Lewis H. Lapham

• I do not believe that we can put into anyone ideas which are not in him already. As a rule there are in everyone all sorts of good ideas, ready like tinder. But much of this tinder catches fire, or catches it successfully, only when it meets some flame or spark from outside, i.e., from some other person.

• La misma razón por la que las mujeres jóvenes en los jurados no son una buena idea, no lo entienden. No están en esa misma experiencia de vida de pagar las facturas, hacer la hipoteca, los niños, la comunidad, la delincuencia, la educación y la atención de la salud. Están como sanos y calientes y corriendo por ahí sin una preocupación en el mundo... Sólo pienso, perdónalos, para que puedan volver a Tinder y Match.com.

• Would you ascend to Heaven and bodiless dwell?
  Or take your bodies honorless to Hell?
  
  In Heaven you have heard no marriage is,
  No white flesh tinder to your lecheries

• There would be a blaze and a confusion, in which timid men would doubt whether the constitution would be burned to tinder or only illuminated; but that blaze and that confusion would be dear to Mr. Daubney if he could stand as the centre figure, the great pyrotechnist who did it all, red from head to foot with the glare of the squibs with which his own hands were filling all the spaces.

• Ever since our first fathers by infection took this morbum sathanicum, this devilish disease, pride, of the devil, such tinder is our nature, that every little spark sets us on fire; our nature hath grown so light, that every little thing puffeth us up, and sets us aloft in our altitudes presently.

• It is the fixed that horrifies us, the fixed that assails us with the tremendous force of mindlessness. The fixed is a Mason jar,and we can't beat it open. ...The fixed is a world without fire--dead flint, dead tinder, and nowhere a spark. It is motion without direction, force without power, the aimless procession of caterpillars round the rim of a vase, and I hate it because at any moment I myself might step to that charmed and glistening thread.

• Society is to the individual what the sun and showers are to the seed. It develops him, expands him, unfolds him, calls him out of himself. Other men are his opportunity. Each one is a match which ignites some new tinder in him unignitible by any previous match. Without these the sparks of individuality would sleep in him forever.

• Never has there been a map, however carefully executed to detail and scale, which has carried its owner over even one inch of ground. Never has there been a parchment of law, however fair, which prevented one crime. Never has there been a scroll, even such as the one I hold, which so much as a penny or produced a single word of acclamation. Action, alone, is the tinder which ignites the map, the parchment, this scroll, my plans, my goals, into a living force. Action is the food and drink which will nourish my success. I will act now.

• In the Middle Ages, cathendrals and convents burned like tinder; imagining a medieval story without a fire is like imagining a World War II movie in the Pacific without a fighter plane shot down in flames.

• The Crone, the Reaper... She is the Dark Moon, what you don't see coming at you, what you don't get away with, the wind that whips the spark across the fire line. Chance, you could say, or, what's scarier still: the intersection of chance with choices and actions made before. The brush that is tinder dry from decades of drought, the warming of the earth's climate that sends the storms away north, the hole in the ozone layer. Not punishment, not even justice, but consequence.

• Tras el extravagante gesto de la creación, el universo ha seguido dedicándose exclusivamente a las extravagancias, arrojando complejidades y colosos por eones de vacío, amontonando profusiones sobre derroches con un vigor siempre renovado. Todo el espectáculo ha ardido desde el principio. Bajo al agua para refrescarme los ojos. Pero mire donde mire veo fuego; lo que no es pedernal es yesca, y el mundo entero chisporrotea y arde.

• I must say this now about that first fire. It was magic. Out of dead tinder and grass and sticks came a live warm light. It cracked and snapped and smoked and filled the woods with brightness. It lighted the trees and made them warm and friendly. It stood tall and bright and held back the night.

• Los rumores son como relámpagos en la yesca del verano, producen llamas que danzan con brillo parpadeante de persona a persona, a veces estallando en grandes conflagraciones de exageración antes de extinguirse finalmente en las frías aguas de los hechos.

• The taste for books was an early one. As a child he was sometimes found at midnight by a page still reading. They took his taper away, and he bred glow-worms to serve his purpose. They took the glow-worms away and he almost burnt the house down with a tinder.
