“Acolo pe pietre sau pe oasele acelea, căci nu distingeam prea bine ce erau, am zărit doi șerpi încolăciți. Poate făceau dragoste. Să vă spun drept, nu știu cum fac șerpii dragoste. Sau poate se luptau. Deodată am văzut cum un fulger negru cade prin aer chiar peste insulă și chiar peste șerpii încolăciți. Era un vultur care a înhățat unul din șerpi și s-a ridicat cu el în văzduh. Așadar, vulturul le-a întrerupt șerpilor dragostea sau lupta. Eu i-am văzut înlănțuiți, nu mă pricep să spun ce anume a fost. Dar, poate că între dragoste și luptă nu e nici o deosebire. Dragostea e luptă între două suflete și între două trupuri în care uneori nu e nici un învingător, alteori nu e nici un învins. Și, oricum, pentru unul din șerpi nu mai avea importanță diferența dintre dragoste și luptă. Pentru el totul se sfârșise. Nu va mai face nici dragoste, nici nu se va mai lupta cu nimeni. Moartea pune punct și iubirilor și luptelor. Fiecare rămâne atunci cu cât a iubit și cu cât a luptat. Mai are timp, poate, doar să regrete că n-a iubit și n-a luptat destul sau că a trăit ca un şarpe singur, care nu şi-a găsit alt şarpe cu care să se iubească sau să se lupte.”

“Aconteça o que acontecer, continuaremos sendo uma pequena dor de cabeça sempre que cheguemos até esta Assembléia ou a qualquer outra, porque estamos dispostos a chamar as coisas pelos seus devidos nomes e a dizer que os representantes dos Estados Unidos são os agentes da repressão no mundo inteiro.”

“ACORN, you may recall, is the left-wing activist group with longtime ties to community organizer-turned-President Barack Obama. The nonprofit, which now takes in 40 percent of its revenues from American taxpayers after four decades on the public teat, has a history of engaging in voter fraud, corporate shakedowns, partisan bullying and pro-illegal immigration lobbying. The Democrats' stimulus proposals could make the group - and its lesser known but even more radical ideological allies - eligible for upward of $5 billion in new public cash.”

“Acostumbramos a trazar límites demasiado estrechos a nuestra personalidad. Consideramos que solamente pertenece a nuestra persona lo que reconocemos como individual y diferenciador. Pero cada uno está constituido por la totalidad del mundo; y así como llevamos en nuestro cuerpo la trayectoria de la evolución..., así llevamos en el alma todo lo que desde un principio ha vivido en las almas humanas...-¿dónde queda entonces el valor del individuo?-objeté yo-...(Pistorius)...En cada uno existen las posibilidades de ser; pero sólo cuando las vislumbra, cuando aprende a hacerlas conscientes, por lo menos en parte, estas posibilidades le pertenecen.”

“Acquaint thyself with God, if thou would'st taste
His works. Admitted once to his embrace,
Thou shalt perceive that thou was blind before:
Thine eye shall be instructed; and thine heart
Made pure shall relish with divine delight
Till then unfelt, what hands divine have wrought.”

The best-endowed, the elect,
All by their youth undone,
All, all, by that inhuman
Bitter glory wrecked.”
