• Los nombres generan significado en poco espacio: provocan pensamientos, preguntas. Es algo que me gusta hacer. Por supuesto, hay que tener cuidado. A veces puede alienar al lector, puede ser otro nivel de mediación, hacer que un personaje lleve la gran carga de un nombre metafórico. El personaje puede ser un dispositivo antes de convertirse en persona, y eso puede ser negativo para un escritor que quiere ofrecer una especie de proximidad emocional en la obra. Es una lucha constante, el deseo de ser juguetón y el deseo de comunicar a un nivel emocional muy descarnado.

• ...atesorar lo que significa hacer un día de trabajo. Es nuestra única oportunidad de hacer algo productivo hoy, y desde luego no está al alcance de alguien por el mero hecho de ser el mejor postor. Un día de trabajo es tu oportunidad de hacer arte, de crear un regalo, de hacer algo que importe. A medida que tu trabajo mejore y tu arte adquiera más importancia, la competencia por tus regalos aumentará y descubrirás que puedes ser más exigente a la hora de elegir a quién se los das.

• There is a growing recognition that the death penalty simply can't work. It's a complex system that arbitrarily selects defendants for death and creates more stress and appeals, even as it is plagued by serious error. Each new exoneration reminds us of the unacceptable possibility of wrongful execution.

• So if we can't express it or repress it, what do we do when we feel angry? The answer is to recognize the anger, but choose to respond to the situation differently. Easier said than done, right? Can you actually imagine trying to strong-arm your anger into another, more amicable feeling? It would never work. Determination alone won't work. It takes a new intelligence to understand and manage our emotions. By getting your head and heart in coherence and allowing the heart's intelligence to work for you, you can have a realistic chance of transforming your anger in a healthy way.

  Doc Childre

• Mi corazón es como un pájaro cantor cuyo nido está en un brote de agua; Mi corazón es como un manzano cuyas ramas están curvadas con gruesos frutos; Mi corazón es como una concha de arco iris que rema en un mar de luna; Mi corazón está más contento que todos estos, porque mi amor ha venido a mí. Levántame un daïs de seda y plumón; Cuélgalo con vair y tintes púrpuras; Tállalo en palomas y granadas, Y pavos reales con cien ojos; Trabajalo en uvas de oro y plata, En hojas y flores de lis de plata; Porque el cumpleaños de mi vida Ha llegado, mi amor ha llegado a mí.

  Christina Rossetti
