• Most of the time you are growing up, people tell you what's wrong with you. Your coach tells you, your parents tell you, the teachers tell you when they grade you. I think that's very good in the early stages, because it helps you then develop skills. But at some point in your career, generally I think when you are in your teens, you look in a mirror and you have to say, despite all the bumps and warts, "I like that person I'm looking at, and let's just do our best."

  Robert Ballard

• It [my vocal] didn't sound like what I wanted to hear; the vibrato isn't what I liked anymore. So I got myself to an ear, nose and throat guy who does a lot of work with singers, and I was hoping there was a big wart on my vocal cords or something and they could scrape it off and I could have the voice I wanted. But he said, "No, for 71, that's your voice."

• When I was young, I had a big problem with warts. It started with one on the side of my little finger. A year later, I had it on all my fingers. My hands looked like the hands of an alligator. So I fist bumped people instead of shaking hands for a few years.

• Ralph Ellison is a classic work of erudition, grace, and elegance. Rampersad offers us an Ellison whose gifts and warts orbit the same universe of creative genius. Like Ellison's work, Rampersad's text wrestles eloquently with difficult truths about race, politics, and American life.

• No intentaremos dar al lector una idea de aquella nariz tetraédrica, de aquella boca de herradura, de aquel pequeño ojo izquierdo ensombrecido por una frente roja y tupida, mientras que el ojo derecho desaparecía por completo bajo una enorme verruga, de aquellos dientes rezagados con brechas aquí y allá como las almenas de una fortaleza, de aquel labio córneo, sobre el cual uno de aquellos dientes se proyectaba como el colmillo de un elefante, de aquel mentón bífido y, sobre todo, de la expresión difundida sobre el conjunto, aquella mezcla de malicia, asombro y melancolía. Que el lector, si puede, se imagine esta combinación.

• A pesar de los milagros del capitalismo, no sale bien parado en las encuestas de popularidad. Una de las razones es que el capitalismo siempre se evalúa frente a las utopías inexistentes e irrealizables del socialismo o el comunismo. Cualquier sistema terrenal, cuando se compara con una utopía, palidece. Pero para el ciudadano de a pie, el capitalismo, con todos sus defectos, es superior a cualquier sistema ideado hasta ahora para satisfacer nuestras necesidades y deseos cotidianos.

  y envuélvela en un paño húmedo. Cierra
  los ojos, da tres vueltas y lanza.
  Luego entierra el trapo y la patata exactamente donde caigan.

• Hay una cosa sobre la belleza. La belleza siempre está asociada a la fantasía masculina de lo que es el cuerpo femenino. No creo que haya nada malo en la belleza. Es sólo que lo que las mujeres piensan que es bello puede ser diferente. Y puede haber belleza en el individualismo. Si hay una verruga o una cicatriz, esto puede ser bello, en cierto sentido, cuando lo pintas.

  Jenny Saville

• If you are well off and can afford to spend ten or twenty-five dollars a day to hire some patient soul to listen to your troubles you can be readjusted to the crazy scheme of things and spare yourself the humiliation of becoming a Christian Scientist.

• Men of science, osteologists And surgeons, beat some poets, in respect For nature,-count nought common or unclean, Spend raptures upon perfect specimens Of indurated veins, distorted joints, Or beautiful new cases of curved spine; While we, we are shocked at nature's falling off, We dare to shrink back from her warts and blains.
