• In a split second of eternity, everything is changed, transfigured. A few bars of music, rising from an unfamiliar place, a touch of perfection in the flow of human dealings - I lean my head slowly to one side, reflect on the camellia on the moss on the temple, reflect on a cup of tea, while outside the wind is rustling foliage, the forward rush of life is crystalized in a brilliant jewel of a moment that knows neither projects nor future, human destiny is rescued from the pale succession of days, glows with light at last and, surpassing time, warms my tranquil heart.

"Well, if she isn't human, Enoch, what is she?" The voice sharpened in impatience. "What do you mean, you don't know? Everyone's something. This girl can't be nothing at all.

• To those humans in whom I have faith; I wish suffering, being forsaken, sickness, maltreatment, humiliation. I wish that they should not remain unfamiliar with profound self-contempt, the torture of self-mistrust, and the misery of the vanquished. I have no pity for them because I wish them the only thing that can prove today whether one is worth anything or not—that one endures' . . . Remember, the passion for destruction is also a creative passion.

• If I'm alone at home, I get increasingly restless, bothered by the idea that I'm missing some crucial encounter out there somewhere.

• Si, al pensar esto, miro hacia arriba para ver si la realidad puede saciar mi sed, veo fachadas inexpresivas, rostros inexpresivos, gestos inexpresivos. Piedras, cuerpos, ideas, todos muertos. Todos los movimientos son un gran estancamiento. Nada significa nada para mí, no porque no me sea familiar, sino porque no sé lo que es. El mundo se me ha escapado. Y en el fondo de mi alma -como única realidad de este momento- hay una pena intensa e invisible, una tristeza como el sonido de alguien que llora en una habitación oscura.

  Fernando Pessoa

• Créeme, es el paraíso. Aquí es donde los hambrientos vienen a alimentarse. Porque la mía es una generación que da la vuelta al mundo y busca algo que no hayamos probado antes. Así que nunca rechaces una invitación, nunca te resistas a lo desconocido, nunca dejes de ser educado y nunca te quedes más de la cuenta. Mantén la mente abierta y déjate llevar por la experiencia. Y si duele, ¿sabes qué? Probablemente merezca la pena.

• Its time we woke up,” pursued Gerald, still inwardly urged to unfamiliar speech. “Women are pretty much people, seems to me. I know they dress like fools - but who’s to blame for that? We invent all those idiotic hats of theirs, and design their crazy fashions, and what’s more, if a woman is courageous enough to wear common-sense clothes - and shoes - which of us wants to dance with her?

• Levantó la vista para descubrir que Jace la observaba con los ojos encapuchados. "Y una última cosa", dijo. Se acercó a ella y le quitó las horquillas brillantes del pelo, que cayó en cálidos y pesados rizos por su cuello. La sensación del pelo haciéndole cosquillas en la piel desnuda era desconocida y extrañamente agradable. "Mucho mejor", dijo él, y ella pensó esta vez que tal vez su voz también era desigual.
