• 'Monsieur,' Madame d'Arestel, Superior of the convent of the Visitation at Belley, once said to me more than fifty years ago, 'whenever you want to have a really good cup of chocolate, make it the day before, in a porcelain coffeepot, and let it set. The night's rest will concentrate it and give it a velvety quality which will make it better. Our good God cannot possibly take offense at this little refinement, since he himself is everything that is most perfect.'

• The text for me is the musical score. I'm the instrument. My voice is the instrument. My voice is articulating the sounds which are coming through the imaginings and visitations in my head, and I'm making these sounds but I've selected them from an ocean of sound.

• He imagined the pain of the world to be like some formless parasitic being seeking out the warmth of human souls wherein to incubate and he thought he knew what made one liable to its visitations. What he had not known was that it was mindless and so had no way to know the limits of those souls and what he feared was that there might be no limits.

• Vic me dio un codazo con el suyo. "Tú y yo seguimos siendo amigos, ¿verdad? Ustedes obtienen una custodia compartida en el divorcio. Generosos derechos de visita". "¿Divorcio?" A mi pesar, me reí. Sólo Vic podía llamar divorcio a las secuelas de una mala primera cita. No habíamos sido exactamente amigos de antemano, así que "todavía" era una exageración, pero habría sido mezquino señalarlo. Además, Vic me caía bien. "Seguimos siendo amigos". "Excelente. Los raritos tienen que permanecer juntos por aquí". "¿Me estás llamando rarito?" "El mayor honor que puedo otorgar.

• Moments when the original 'poet' in each of us created the outside world for us, by finding the familiar in the unfamiliar, are perhaps forgotten by most people; or else they are guarded in some secret place of memory because they were too much like visitations by the gods to be mixed with everyday thinking.

• Visitation reflects the era of the absentee father; parent time influences the re-emergence of the involved father. Visitation reflects the destruction of the family; parent time influences the reconstruction of the family. Parent time influences an era that understands that as either parent loses, so lose the children.

• Lo que creo es que el matrimonio es entre un hombre y una mujer, pero lo que también creo es que tenemos la obligación de asegurarnos de que gays y lesbianas tienen los derechos de ciudadanía que les permiten visitar hospitales, que les permiten ser, transferir propiedades entre parejas, asegurarse de que no son discriminados en el trabajo.

• I couldn't have foreseen all the good things that have followed my mother's death. The renewed energy, the surprising sweetness of grief. The tenderness I feel for strangers on walkers. The deeper love I have for my siblings and friends. The desire to play the mandolin. The gift of a visitation.

• A los fantasmas metafísicos no se les puede matar, porque no se les puede tocar; pero se les puede disipar disipando la penumbra en la que se confunden fácilmente las sombras y las solideces. El Principio Vital es una entidad de este tipo fantasmal; y aunque la luz del día lo ha disipado, y la Biología positiva ya no es molestada con sus visitas, sin embargo reaparece en otra forma en la región sombría del misterio que rodea las cuestiones biológicas y todas las demás.

• We would like otherworldly visitations to come as distinct voices with clear instructions, but they may only give small signs in dreams, or as sudden hunches and insights that cannot be denied. They feel more as if they emerge from inside and steer you from within like an inner guardian angel. . . . And, most amazing, it has never forgotten you, although you may have spent most of your life ignoring it.

• A famous anecdote concerning Cuvier involves the tale of his visitation from the devil—only it was not the devil but one of his students dressed up with horns on his head and shoes shaped like cloven hooves. This frightening apparition burst into Cuvier's bedroom when he was fast asleep and claimed:
  'Wake up thou man of catastrophes. I am the Devil. I have come to devour you!'
  Cuvier studied the apparition carefully and critically said,
  'I doubt whether you can. You have horns and hooves. You eat only plants.

• However constant the visitations of sickness and bereavement, the fall of the year is most thickly strewn with the fall of human life. Everywhere the spirit of some sad power seems to direct the time; it hides from us the blue heavens, it makes the green wave turbid; it walks through the fields, and lays the damp ungathered harvest low; it cries out in the night wind and the shrill hail; it steals the summer bloom from the infant cheek; it makes old age shiver to the heart; it goes to the churchyard, and chooses many a grave.

• No es la menor de las penurias a que se ven sometidos los moribundos la visita de sus seres queridos. Los pobres seres queridos, Dios los bendiga, pueden sentir todos los impulsos de condolerse y consolarse, pero su principal sensación es, sin embargo, de vergüenza en presencia de lo indecible y una gratitud culpable de que todavía no sea su destino.

• La inspiración para el libro surgió tras la visita de un ser espiritual que se materializó ante mí en dos noches consecutivas. Aunque caí inconsciente al principio de cada encuentro y recordaba conscientemente haber oído sólo una o dos palabras iniciales de la entidad, desperté al amanecer de la segunda visita con las ideas para El fuego divino bullendo en mi cerebro.

• La suposición de que todo lo pasado se conserva es válida incluso en la vida mental sólo a condición de que el órgano de la mente haya permanecido intacto y que sus tejidos no hayan sido dañados por traumatismos o inflamaciones. Pero las influencias destructivas que pueden compararse a causas de enfermedad como éstas nunca faltan en la historia de una ciudad, incluso si ha tenido un pasado menos accidentado que Roma, e incluso si, como Londres, apenas ha sufrido las visitas de un enemigo.
