“Al fons de l'existència del jo que no sóc
l'irreal d'unes aigües salobres riu amunt,
aigua dolça, de llot, endinsant-se en la mar.
Ambigus, l'esglai dels peixos i el silenci.
A frec d'ermassos de sol i lluna lenta
s'obstina el cant d'uns blues i el camí encès, de sal.”

“Al forms of consensus about ''great'' books and ''perennial'' problems, once stabilized, tend to deteriorate eventually into something philistine. The real life of the mind is always at the frontiers of ''what is already known.'' Those great books don't only need custodians and transmitters. To stay alive, they also need adversaries. The most interesting ideas are heresies.”

“Al fotografo viaggiatore, Buon cammino! Belle foto!”
“Al gemir la santa niña,
quiebra el cristal de las copas.
La rueda afila cuchillos
y garfios de aguda comba:
brama el toro de los yunques,
y Mérida se corona
de nardos casi despiertos
y tallos de zarzamora.”

“Al gestionar una pataleta debemos ubicarnos a la misma altura de nuestro peque y mirarlo a los ojos para una mejor conexión y para no connotar superioridad. «Ubicarnos a su nivel» no se limita lo físico, sino que incluye el plano emocional, encontrándonos corazón con corazón. Una vez que ya estamos a su altura miremos un segundo hacia arriba y tratemos de sentir lo que la criatura siente. Aprovechemos para conectar con nuestra niña/o interior, temerosa/o ante los gritos de sus padres y abracemos la experiencia para sanarnos un poco. Seamos con ellos como nos hubiera gustado que sean con nosotros y cuando los abracemos, abracémonos a nosotros mismos cuando éramos criaturas, cuando nos sentimos temerosos, solos o asustados ante los desajustes emocionales de nuestros padres”

“Al-Ghazali immodestly claims that, to prepare for the enterprise, he mastered the sum total of relevant knowledge: “There is no philosopher whose system I have not fathomed, nor theologian the intricacies of whose doctrine I have not followed out. Sufism has no secrets into which I have not penetrated.” He is the master of all.”

“Al Gore likes to say that mankind puts 70 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere every day. What he probably doesn't know is that mother nature puts 24,000 times that amount of our main greenhouse gas-water vapor-into the atmosphere every day and removes about the same amount every day. While this does not 'prove' that global warming is not man-made, it shows that weather systems have by far the greatest control over the Earth's greenhouse effect, which is dominated by water vapor and clouds.”

“Al Gore, the former vice-president of the United States, lives in a mansion that uses more electricity than the average family's bungalow! David Suzuki rides on a bus that uses more fuel than a Smart car to get across Canada! Oh my God! And this is just the tip of the vanishing iceberg!”

Al Gore’s enemy, the U.N.’s enemy: global warming.”

Por desgracia no hay nada más real que esta irrealidad.”

“Al in de vroege ochtend, het was bijna nog nacht, had Gregor de gelegenheid de kracht van zijn zojuist genomen besluiten te toetsen, want vanaf de gang opende zijn zuster, bijna volledig aangekleed, de deur en keek nieuwsgierig naar binnen. Zij kon hem niet dadelijk vinden, maar toen zij hem onder de canapé ontdekte - God, hij moest toch érgens zijn, hij had toch niet kunnen wegvliegen - , schrok zij zo, dat zij, zonder zich te kunnen beheersen, de deur van buitenaf weer dichtsloeg. Maar alsof zij berouw had van haar handelwijze, deed zij de deur meteen weer open en kwam, als ging het om een ernstige zieke of zelfs een vreemde, op haar tenen binnen. Gregor had zijn kop tot vlak aan de rand van de canapé naar voren geschoven en observeerde haar. Of zij wel zou merken dat hij de melk had laten staan, en wel allerminst uit gebrek aan eetlust, en of zij ander voedsel zou komen brengen, dat meer aan zijn wensen tegemoet kwam? Als zij het niet uit zichzelf deed wilde hij liever verhongeren dan haar erop attent te maken, hoewel hij eigenlijk een geweldige aandrang voelde om onder de canapé vandaan te schieten, zich aan zijn zusters voeten te werpen en haar om wat lekker eten te smeken. Maar zijn zuster zag dadelijk tot haar verbazing de nog volle kom, waaruit alleen rondom een beetje melk was gemorst, zij nam hem meteen op, weliswaar niet met haar blote handen maar met een lap, en droeg hem de kamer uit. Gregor was uiterst nieuwsgierig wat zij ter vervanging zou brengen en hij maakte zich daar de meest uiteenlopende voorstellingen van. Nooit had hij echter kunnen raden wat zijn zuster in haar goedheid werkelijk deed. Zij bracht hem, om zijn smaak te onderzoeken, een hele keur aan spijzen, op een oude krant uitgespreid. Er was oude, half verrotte groente; botten van het avondeten in een gestolde witte saus, wat rozijnen en amandelen; een kaas die Gregor twee dagen tevoren oneetbaar had verklaard; een stuk droog brood, een met boter besmeerd stuk brood en een met boter besmeerd en gezouten stuk brood. Bovendien zette zij bij dit alles ook nog de waarschijnlijk definitief voor Gregor bestemde kom neer, waarin zij water had gegoten.”
“Al instante, la mujer se giró. En sus manos sujetaba un libro pequeño, entre cuyas páginas colocó un pañuelo para señalizar el pasaje que leía. Extendió su mano para recibir la misiva.”
