• Our children will not survive our habits of thinking, our failures of the spirit, our wreck of the universe into which we bring new life as blithely as we do. Mostly, our children will resemble our own misery and spite and anger, because we give them no choice about it. In the name of motherhood and fatherhood and education and good manners, we threaten and suffocate and bind and ensnare and bribe and trick children into wholesale emulation of our ways.

• It is when things go hardest, when life becomes most trying, that there is the greatest need for having a fixed goal, for having an air castle that the outside world cannot wreck. When few comforts come from without, it is all the more necessary to have a fount to draw from within. And the man or woman who has a star toward which to press cannot be thrown off the course, no matter how the world may try, no matter how far things seem to be wrong.

• Nine times out of ten it is over the Bridge of Sighs that we pass the narrow gulf from youth to manhood. That interval is usually marked by an ill placed or disappointed affection. We recover and we find ourselves a new being. The intellect has become hardened by the fire through which it has passed. The mind profits by the wrecks of every passion, and we may measure our road to wisdom by the sorrows we have undergone.

• Estoy cansado de conjeturas, esto debe acabar con ellas.
  Así estoy doblemente armado: mi muerte y mi vida,
  mi perdición y mi antídoto, ambas están ante mí:
  Esto en un momento me pone fin;
  Pero esto me informa que nunca moriré.
  El alma, segura de su existencia, sonríe
  ante la daga desenvainada, y desafía su punta.
  Las estrellas se desvanecerán, el sol mismo
  se oscurecerá con la edad, y la naturaleza se hundirá en los años;
  Pero tú florecerás en la juventud inmortal,
  ileso en medio de la guerra de los elementos,
  Los restos de la materia, y el aplastamiento de los mundos.

• El organizador de la industria que piensa que se ha "hecho" a sí mismo y a su negocio ha encontrado todo un sistema social listo para su mano en trabajadores cualificados, maquinaria, un mercado, paz y orden - un vasto aparato y una atmósfera penetrante, la creación conjunta de millones de hombres y decenas de generaciones. Si quitamos todo el factor social, no tenemos a Robinson Crusoe con su salvamento del naufragio y sus conocimientos adquiridos, sino al salvaje nativo que vive de raíces, bayas y alimañas.

• You and I are standing this very second at the meeting place of two eternities: the vast past that has endured forever, and the future that is plunging on to the last syllable of recorded time. We can't possible live in either of those eternities - no, not even for a split second. But, by trying to do so, we can wreck both our bodies and our minds. So let's be content to live the only time we can possible live: from now until bedtime.

• Dogs possess a quality that's rare among humans -- the ability to make you feel valued just by being you -- and it was something of a miracle to me to be on the receiving end of all that acceptance. The dog didn't care what I looked like, or what I did for a living, or what a train wreck of a life I'd led before I got her, or what we did from day to day. She just wanted to be with me, and that awareness gave me a singular sensation of delight.

• Speech, tennis, music, skiing, manners, love- you try them waking and perhaps balk at the jump, and then you're over. You've caught the rhythm of them once and for all, in your sleep at night. The city, of course, can wreck it. So much insomnia. So many rhythms collide. The salesgirl, the landlord, the guests, the bystanders, sixteen varieties of social circumstance in a day. Everyone has the power to call your whole life into question here. Too many people have access to your state of mind. Some people are indifferent to dislike, even relish it. Hardly anyone I know.

• I was a painfully shy, awkward kid, with low self-esteem and almost no social skills. Online, I didn't have a problem talking to people or making friends. But in the real world. interacting with other people - especially kids my own age - made me a nervous wreck. I never knew how to act or what to say, and when I did work up the courage to speak, I always seemed to say the wrong thing.
