• Quiero que tengas esto". Extendió la mano. En la palma estaba la hermosa mariposa que había tallado. Las manchas plateadas de las alas brillaban a la luz del sol, y una cadena de plata colgaba de un pequeño agujero perforado en su cuerpo. Valek me colgó el collar del cuello. "Cuando tallé esta estatua, pensaba en ti. De apariencia delicada, pero con una fuerza que pasa desapercibida a primera vista". Sus ojos se encontraron con los míos.

• The solitude lends much appeal, because a sea without a harbour surrounds it. Even a modest boat can find few anchorage, and nobody can go ashore unnoticed by the guards. Its winter is mild because it is enclosed by a range of mountains which keeps out the fierce temperature; its summer is unequal. The open sea is very pleasant and it has a view of a beautiful bay.

• I will now direct the attention of scientists to a previously unnoticed cause which brings about the metamorphosis and decomposition phenomena which are usually called decay, putrefaction, rotting, fermentation and moldering. This cause is the ability possessed by a body engaged in decomposition or combination, i.e. in chemical action, to give rise in a body in contact with it the same ability to undergo the same change which it experiences itself.

• Toda enfermedad, en un período u otro de su curso, es más o menos un proceso reparador, no necesariamente acompañado de sufrimiento: un esfuerzo de la naturaleza para remediar un proceso de envenenamiento o de descomposición, que ha tenido lugar semanas, meses, a veces años antes, de forma inadvertida.

• Here silence stands Like heat. Here leaves unnoticed thicken, Hidden weeds flower, neglected waters quicken, Luminously-peopled air ascends; And past the poppies bluish neutral distance Ends the land suddenly beyond a beach Of shapes and shingle. Here is unfenced existence: Facing the sun, untalkative, out of reach.

• I had become so quiet and so small in the grass by the pond that I was barely noticeable, hardly there... I sat there watching their living room shining out of the dark beside the pond. It looked like a fairy tale functioning happily in the post-World War II gothic of America before television crippled the imagination of America and turned people indoors and away from living out their own fantasies with dignity... Anyway, I just kept getting smaller and smaller beside the pond, more and more unnoticed in the darkening summer grass until I disappeared into the 32 years that have passed since then.

• I left the library. Crossing the street, I was hit head-on by a brutal loneliness. I felt dark and hollow. Abandoned, unnoticed, forgotten, I stood on the sidewalk, a nothing, a gatherer of dust. People hurried past me. and everyone who walked by was happier than I. I felt the old envy. I would have given anything to be one of them.

• After a while, footsteps sounded on the flagstones outside and there was a gentle tap at the door. Of course, one of them would come. So close were we, the seven of us, that no childhood injury went unnoticed, no slight, real or imagined, went unaddressed, no hurt was endured without comfort.

• Los hombres hablan de soñar como si fuera un fenómeno de la noche y del sueño. Deberían saberlo. Todos los resultados que conseguimos son autopromesas, y todas las autopromesas se hacen en sueños despiertos. Soñar es el alivio del trabajo, el vino que nos sostiene en acto. Aprendemos a amar el trabajo, no por sí mismo, sino por la oportunidad que nos brinda para soñar, que es el gran subtono de la vida real, inaudito, desapercibido, debido a su constancia. Vivir es soñar. Sólo en las tumbas no hay sueños.

• La polilla se posó en la cortina y se quedó quieta. Era una criatura asombrosa, con alas blancas y negras estampadas en formas geométricas, alas interiores escarlatas y un cuerpo blanco y gordo con manchas negras que lo recorrían como los botones de carbón de un muñeco de nieve. Ningún ojo humano había mirado antes a esta polilla; nadie vería a sus amigos. Tantos detalles pasan desapercibidos en el mundo.

• A veces nos damos cuenta de una bondad que pasó hace mucho tiempo, y nos damos cuenta de que ha habido momentos en que los pensamientos de nuestros amigos sobre nosotros eran de un carácter tan puro y elevado que pasaban sobre nosotros como los vientos del cielo sin que nos diéramos cuenta; cuando nos trataban no como lo que éramos, sino como lo que aspirábamos a ser.

• Today's Gypsies, who have lived in Prague for only two generations, light a ritual fire wherever they work, a nomads' fire crackling only for the joy of it, a blaze of roughhewn wood like a child's laugh, a symbol of the eternity that preceded human thought, a free fire, a gift from heaven, a living sign of the elements unnoticed by the world-weary pedestrian, a fire in the ditches of Prague warming the wanderer's eye and soul.

• Next year, Equality Now will celebrate - if that’s the word - will clock its twentieth year. Two decades of fighting the good fight, fighting the cause, and in case I haven’t been the clear, the cause is that one half of the human race is given the same basic equal rights that the other half enjoys. Or, not given. Given back. That is not a milestone, twenty years, that I intend to go unnoticed. I want to make some noise. I want to make a joyful noise, I want to make too much noise. I want the neighbors to complain. I’m tired of being polite about something that matters so much.

• Yes, this is what I thought adulthood would be, a kind of long indian summer, a state of tranquility, of calm incuriousness, with nothing left of the barely bearable raw immediacy of childhood, all the things solved that had puzzled me when I was small, all mysteries settled, all questions answered, and the moments dripping away, unnoticed almost, drip by golden drip, toward the final, almost unnoticed, quietus.
