• Y, en efecto, ¿no hay algo sagrado en una gran cocina? El resplandor de hileras y más hileras de recipientes de metal colgando de ganchos o reposando en sus estantes hasta que se necesitan con el aire de tantos cálices esperando la celebración del sacramento de la comida. Y la cocina como un altar, sí, ante el que mi madre se inclinaba en perpetuo homenaje, con una franja de sudor en el labio superior y el fuego brillando en sus mejillas.

  Angela Carter

• If the man be really the weaker vessel, and the rule is necessarily in the wife's hands, how is it then to be? To tell the truth, I believe that the really loving, good wife never finds it out. She keeps the glamor of love and loyalty between herself and her husband, and so infuses herself into him that the weakness never becomes apparent either to her or to him or to most lookers-on.

• It has been said that men carry on a kind of coasting trade with religion. In the voyage of life, they profess to be in search of heaven, but take care not to venture so far in their approximations to it, as entirely to lose sight of the earth; and should their frail vessel be in danger of shipwreck, they will gladly throw their darling vices overboard, as other mariners their treasures, only to fish them up again when the storm is over.

• Cuando todos se mueven por igual (dice Pascal), nada parece moverse como en un barco a vela; y cuando todos corren de común acuerdo hacia el vicio, ninguno parece hacerlo. El que se detiene primero, ve como desde un punto fijo la horrible extravagancia que transporta al resto.

• Cada alma... viene al mundo fortalecida por las victorias o debilitada por las derrotas de su vida anterior. Su lugar en este mundo, como recipiente destinado al honor o a la deshonra, está determinado por sus méritos o deméritos anteriores. Su trabajo en este mundo determina su lugar en el mundo que le sigue.

• A giant as we hoped, in truth, a dwarf; A barrel of slop that shines on Lethe's wharf', Which at first seemed a vessel with sweet wine For thirsty lips. So down the swift decline You went through sloven spirit, craven heart And cynic indolence. And here the art Of molding clay has caught you for the nonce And made your shame our shame ~ Your head in bronze!

• The personal deportment of Captain Perry, throughout the day, was worthy of all praise. He did not quit his own vessel when she became useless, to retire from the battle, but to gain it; an end that was fully obtained, and an effort which resulted in triumph.

• Does it seem all but incredible to you that intelligence should travel for two thousand miles, along those slender copper lines, far down in the all but fathomless Atlantic; never before penetrated … save when some foundering vessel has plunged with her hapless company to the eternal silence and darkness of the abyss? Does it seem … but a miracle … that the thoughts of living men … should burn over the cold, green bones of men and women, whose hearts, once as warm as ours, burst as the eternal gulfs closed and roared over them centuries ago?

  Edward Everett

• Lie in the sun with the child in your flesh shining like a jewel. Dream and sing, pagan, wise in your vitals. Stand still like a fat budding tree, like a stalk of corn athrob and aglisten in the heat. Lie like a mare panting with the dancing feet of colts against her sides. Sleep at night as the spring earth. Walk heavily as a wheat stalk at its full time bending towards the earth waiting for the reaper. Let your life swell downward so you become like a vase, a vessel. Let the unknown child knock and knock against you and rise like a dolphin within.

• El interés de un hombre por el mundo es sólo el desbordamiento de su interés por sí mismo. Cuando eres niño, tu vasija aún no está llena, por lo que sólo te interesan tus propios asuntos. Cuando creces, tu vasija rebosa; y eres un político, un filósofo, o un explorador y aventurero. En la vejez, la vasija se seca: no hay desbordamiento: vuelves a ser un niño.

• Yet spiritual realizations often remain compartmentalized, apart from everyday life, or become used as a rationale for living in an impersonal or soulless way. That is why, if we are to live our realizations and bring them into this world, we also need to work on the vessel of spirit - our embodied humanity. Soulwork is the forging of this vessel... If spiritual work brings freedom, soulwork brings integration. Both are necessary for a complete human life.

• Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and for thy possession, the ends of the earth. Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron. Thou shalt dash them in pieces, like a potters vessel. Be wise now therefore, ye kings. Be admonished, ye judges of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the son lest he be angry, and ye perish in the way, though his wrath be kindled but a little.
