• Naturally, when a young fellow steps up into a big position, it breeds jealousy among those whom he's left behind and uneasiness among those to whom he's pulled himself up. Between them he's likely to be subjected to a lot of petty annoyances. But he's in the fix of a dog with fleas who's chasing a rabbit -- if he stops to snap at the tickling on his tail, he's going to lose his game dinner.

• La satisfacción de la curiosidad más bien nos libera del desasosiego que nos confiere placer; nos duele más la ignorancia que nos deleita la instrucción. La curiosidad es la sed del alma; nos inflama y atormenta, y nos hace saborear con alegría cualquier cosa, por insípida que sea, mediante la cual pueda saciarse.

  Samuel Johnson

• Religion, declares the modern man, is consciousness of our highest social values. Nothing could be further from the truth. True religion is a profound uneasiness about our highest social values.

• Al escucharla, uno experimentaba un profundo desasosiego, como si hubiera eludido una responsabilidad urgente, como quien, caminando de noche por la orilla de un arroyo, vislumbra en el agua un rostro blanco o un miembro en movimiento y se aleja rápidamente, negándose a socorrer o a buscar ayuda. Todos vemos rostros en el agua. Sofocamos nuestro recuerdo de ellos, incluso nuestra creencia en su realidad, y nos convertimos en personas tranquilas del mundo; o no podemos ni olvidarlos ni ayudarlos. A veces, por un truco de las circunstancias o del sueño o de un barrio hostil de luz, vemos nuestro propio rostro.

• Cada clase de la sociedad tiene su canto de lamento, que no es comprendido o considerado por nadie más que por ellos mismos; y cada parte de la vida tiene su malestar, que aquellos que no lo sienten no conmiserarán. Un acontecimiento que siembra la distracción en la mitad del mundo comercial, reúne a las compañías comerciales en consejos y comités, y sacude los nervios de un millar de almacenistas, es leído por el terrateniente y el granjero con frígida indiferencia.

• So far, we do not seem appalled at the prospect of exactly the same kind of education being applied to all the school children from the Atlantic to the Pacific, but there is an uneasiness in the air, a realization that the individual is growing less easy to find; an idea, perhaps, of what standardization might become when the units are not machines, but human beings.

• It is certainly true in the United States that there is an uneasiness about certain aspects of science, particularly evolution, because it conflicts, in some people's minds, with their sense of how we all came to be. But you know, if you are a believer in God, it's hard to imagine that God would somehow put this incontrovertible evidence in front of us about our relationship to other living organisms and expect us to disbelieve it. I mean, that doesn't make sense at all.

• La noche anterior había dormido fatal. La habitación y la cama eran bastante cómodas, pero había tenido sueños extraños, de esos que perduraban al despertarse pero que desaparecían de su memoria cuando intentaba comprenderlos. Sólo quedaban los zarcillos del malestar.

• When a condition or a problem becomes too great, humans have the protection of not thinking about it. But it goes inward and minces up with a lot of other things already there and what comes out is discontent and uneasiness, guilt and a compulsion to get something--anything--before it is all gone.

• God is speaking to us. But are we listening to Him? When our conscience begins to nudge us for whatever reason, we might have this low-level misery or uneasiness about whatever it is we've done or we're about to do. At times like this, it's wise to prayerfully consider whether we're offending God with our actions.

• Debe existir una alternativa entre Hollywood y New York, entre esos dos lugares tanto psíquica como geográficamente. La Universidad de Iowa trata de ofrecer una comunidad de este tipo, agradable para el joven escritor, con su inquietud acerca de la escritura como una carrera honorable, o con su exceso de ego acerca de llamarse a sí mismo escritor.

• To call out for the hand of the enemy is a rather extreme measure, yet a better one, I think, than to remain in continual fever over an accident that has no remedy. But since all the precautions that a man can take are full of uneasiness and uncertainty, it is better to prepare with fine assurance for the worst that can happen, and derive some consolation from the fact that we are not sure that it will happen.

• As a great part of the uneasiness of matrimony arises from mere trifles,, it would be wise in every young married man to enter into an agreement with his wife, that in all disputes of this kind the party who was most convinced they were right should always surrender the victory. By which means both would be more forward to give up the cause.

• Es curioso, pero cuando le cuentas a alguien los hechos reales de un cuento mítico se indigna no con quien se lo cuenta, sino contigo. No quieren que se alteren sus ideas. Creo que les provoca una vaga inquietud y les molesta. Así que lo rechazan y se niegan a pensar en ello. Si fueran simplemente indiferentes, sería natural y comprensible. Pero es mucho más fuerte que eso, mucho más positivo. Les molesta. Muy extraño, ¿verdad?

• This is why moral uneasiness is destined to become even more acute. It is obvious that a fundamental defect, or rather a series of defects, indeed a defective machinery is at the root of contemporary economics and materialistic civilization, which does not allow the human family to break free from such radically unjust situations.
