Quote by G. K. Chesterton

“It's just because I have picked a little about mystics that I have no use for mystagogues. Real mystics don't hide mysteries, they reveal them. They set a thing up in broad daylight, and when you've seen it it's still a mystery. But the mystagogues hide a thing in darkness and secrecy, and when you find it, it's a platitude.”

“You create many [dinosaurs] in a very short time, never learn anything about them, yet you expect them to do your bidding, because you made them and you therefore think you own them; you forget that they are alive, they have an intelligence of their own, and they may not do your bidding, and you forget how little you know about them....”

“If you try to talk about a truth that’s merely moral, people always think it’s merely metaphorical. A real live man with two legs once said to me: ‘I only believe in the Holy Ghost in a spiritual sense.’ Naturally, I said: ‘In what other sense could you believe it?’ And then he thought I meant he needn’t believe in anything except evolution, or ethical fellowship, or some bilge. . . . -- The Secret of Father Brown”

“You know, people meet and sometimes they lock into each other like two long-sought-after pieces of a puzzle. Now, as time goes on, these pieces, they morph and they-they grow. And they can grow together and become stronger. Or they can become two completely different shapes that they don't have any room for each other, they don't fit anymore. If there's one thing I've learned in my life, you can't control what other people are going to do. No. No. They need their own space to become whatever weird-ass shape they're going to change into. It's nature. You can't control it, but you can accept it.”

“Quien elige una áurea medianía, obtiene tanto la seguridad que le libra de la sórdidas fealdades que cubre un techo resquebrajado como la sobriedad que libra de un palacio sometido a la envidia. En la adversidad tiene esperanza, en la prosperidad teme la suerte adversa, teniendo el corazón bien dispuesto.”

“A Oliveira le gustaba hacer el amor con la Maga porque nada podía ser más importante para ella y al mismo tiempo, de una manera difícilmente comprensible, estaba como por debajo de su placer, se alcanzaba en él un momento y por eso se adhería desesperadamente y lo prolongaba, era como un despertarse y conocer su verdadero nombre, y después recaía en una zona siempre un poco crepuscular que encantaba a Oliveira temeroso de perfecciones”

“-Tu eres distinta-le dijo en voz baja, contra su piel-. Simplemente... tienes otro tipo de belleza. -¿De qué tipo? -De un tipo mucho más... etéreo. Victoria tragó saliva cuando notó que varios mechones de pelo oscuro le rozaban la piel. -No se que significa esa palabra-le dijo con un hilo de voz. Caleb volvió a sonreír contra su piel, pero esa vez levantó la cabeza y la miró. -Significa sutil. E intangible. Y perfecto.”
