Save kindness all is unspiritual.

“Entire years had passed when he was rich enough in time to disregard the loose change of a minute, but now he obsessed over each one, this minute, the next minute, the one following, all of which were different terms for the same illusion.”
“Entirely in agreement with Salieri when he rails against God for having given humanity the gift of Mozart's divine music, for the sole purpose of making us look ridiculous and plunging us into despair. Salieri sets himself up as Man's champion against divine injustice. It is the same problem as that of the Grand Inquisitor in the Brothers Karamazov. When Christ returns to earth he says to him: 'We manage humanity for its greatest happiness. It has paid for this with its mediocrity. Don't come disturbing this fragile balance with insane promises. ' And he condemns Christ to death once again.
Salieri is not mean-spirited: it took pride, not to become jealous of Mozart, but to challenge God and ask: 'Tell it to me plainly, why am I not Mozart?' For God mocked us by throwing Mozart among us in the guise of a vulgar being, who did not even bear the exceptional marks of grace. God is toying with us, and that is unbearable. Mozart must be destroyed. All that challenges God is noble in spirit and superior to gaping, unconditional admiration of His works.
We will not have the same problem with Changeux's Neuronal Man, emerging on the horizon like Nietzsche's Last Man, with his cortical and synaptic flatness. Farewell Mozart, farewell Salieri, no more grace, but no more challenges either, such is the solution offered by modern science to the insoluble despair of the difference between men.
Signs, signs? Is that all you have to say? People act and people dream, they speak or they don't - none of that is unreal. Shut up and watch. See the philosophical beauty of these closing years of the century, the stars in the sky falling lower as the fateful date approaches, and the interactive horizon of couples in love - all this is beyond doubt, and it moves me to tears . . . The age, the coming age is like a metropolis deserted by its population, cut off from its sources of energy. Are you going to say that, are you going to go on with these twilight rantings? Every century throws the reality principle into question as it closes, but it's over today, finished, done. Everybody works these days.
Narrative and moral passions, the philosophical animal spirits, are literally blocking the electronic animal spirits, a thousand times more lively and insignificant. Videos and advertisements, credits, news reports and sports flashes, Dallas, that's television, all that transfers easily, with the minimum of energy, on ephemeral film. But pure television, like pure painting or pure speed, is hard to bear.”

“Entirely incidentally, a little-known fact about Shakespeare is that his father moved to Stratford-upon-Avon from a nearby village shortly before his son's birth. Had he not done so, the Bard of Avon would instead be known as the rather less ringing Bard of Snitterfield.”

“Entirety exists within me as exuberance in empty longing in the desire to burn with desire.”

“Entitlement and privelege corrupt.”
“Entitlement is a serious Pandemic.”

“Entitlement is the opposite of enchantment.”

“Entitlement never wins Championships, Investment wins Championships.”

“Entitlement? How can you be entitled to someone else's money?”
“Entitlements is not sic the issue. And if so, cool heads can sit down and engage the American people and tell us how many seniors in nursing homes do we want to throw out in the street? ... And then who wants to make a fuss about Medicare when it's solvent until 2024? ... Who wants to make a fuss about Social Security when it's solvent - and it's about, 'You earned it'?”
“Entity can be wiped out, but not existence, existence that has ignited a few lives.”

“Entità immaginaria? Entità reale? Reale come l’immaginazione, ovvero immaginaria come la realtà. Quando una volta sorpresi mio figlio Pepe, allora poco più che un bambino, a disegnare un pupazzo, dicendo: «Sono fatto di carne, sono fatto di carne, non sono un disegno!», parole che metteva in bocca al pupazzo, mi ricordai della mia infanzia, mi sentii bambino, e quasi mi spaventai. Fu un’apparizione spirituale. E poco tempo fa mio nipote Miguelìn mi chiedeva se il gatto Felix – quello dei racconti per bambini – era fatto di carne. Voleva dire se era vivo. E quando provai a spiegargli che i racconti, i sogni e le menzogne sono la stessa cosa, mi disse: «Ma allora è un sogno di carne?»”

“Entomologist Dr. Ovid Byron speaking to television journalist, Tina, who says, re: global warming, "Scientists of course are in disagreement about whether this is happening and whether humans have a role."
He replies:
"The Arctic is genuinely collapsing. Scientists used to call these things the canary in the mine. What they say now is, The canary is dead. We are at the top of Niagara Falls, Tina, in a canoe. There is an image for your viewers. We got here by drifting, but we cannot turn around for a lazy paddle back when you finally stop pissing around. We have arrived at the point of an audible roar. Does it strike you as a good time to debate the existence of the falls?”

“Entonces aceptábamos nuestra condición de prisioneros, quedábamos reducidos a nuestro pasado, y si algunos tenían la tentación de vivir en el futuro, tenían que renunciar muy pronto, al menos en la medida de lo posible, sufriendo finalmente las heridas que la imaginación inflige a los que se confían a ella.”

“Entonces, cuál es tu patria? Tú la conoces: evidentemente, es la patria de los libros: los libros leídos y amados, los libros leídos y despreciados, los libros que soñamos con escribir, los libros insignificantes que hemos olvidado y que ya no sabemos siquiera si llegamos a abrir alguna vez, los libros que fingimos haber leído, los libros que no leeremos nunca pero de los que no nos separaríamos por nada del mundo, los libros que esperan su hora en una noche paciente, antes del crepúsculo deslumbrante de las lecturas del amanecer. Sí, dije, sí: seré ciudadana de esa patria, seré leal a ese reino, el reino de la biblioteca.”

“Entonces el desierto le decía que la muerte es sólo una fatiga de las leyes de la naturaleza: la vida es la regla del juego, no su excepción, y hasta el desierto que parecía muerto escondía toda una minuciosa vida que prolongaba, originaba o remedaba las leyes de la existencia humana.”

“Entonces entraron al cuarto de José Arcadio Buendía, lo sacudieron con todas sus fuerzas, le gritaron al oído, le pusieron un espejo frente a las fosas nasales, pero no pudieron despertarlo. Poco después, cuando el carpintero le tomaba las medidas para el ataúd, vieron a través de la ventana que estaba cayendo una llovizna de flores amarillas. Cayeron toda la noche sobre el pueblo en una tormenta silenciosa, y cubrieron los techos y atascaron las puertas, y sofocaron a los animales que durmieron a la intemperie. Tantas flores cayeron del cielo, que las calles amanecieron tapizadas de una colcha compacta, y tuvieron que despejarlas con palas y rastrillos para que pudiera pasar el entierro.”

“Entonces José Arcadio Buendía hecho tretina doblones en una cazuela, y los fundió con raspadura de cobre, oropimienta, azufre y plomo. Puso a hervir todo a fuego vivo en un caldero de aceite de ricino hasta obtener un jarabe espeso y pestilente más parecido al caramelo vulgar que al oro magnífico. En azarosos y deseperados procesos de destilación, fundida con siete metales planetarios, trabajado con mercurio hermético y vitriolo de Chipre, y vuelta a cocer en manteca de cerdo a falta de aceite de rábano, la preciosa herencia de Úrsula quedó reducida a un chicharrón carbonizado que no pudo ser desprendido del fondo del caldero.”

“Entonces la besó, separando aquellos labios suaves con los suyos. Su sabor era perfecto, a lluvia nueva. El beso se hizo más profundo, recorrió su cuerpo con las manos, la atrajo hacia sí. Pero entonces ella se retiró y sonrió. Sin decir nada, le besó la nariz, la comisura de los labios, y después un hoyuelo de la mejilla. Cuando le levantó la camisa, creyó que el corazón iba a dejar de latirle. Él la ayudó y se la quitó por encima e la cabeza. Los ojos de Aria recorrieron aquel pecho, y sus dedos resiguieron las marcas. Él no lograba respirar más despacio.
-Perry, quiero verte la espalda.
Otra sorpresa, pero él asintió y se dio media vuelta. Echó la cabeza hacia delante y aprovechó el momento para intentar calmarse un poco. Aria dibujó con su dedo el perfil de sus alas sobre su piel, y él dio un respingo y soltó un gemido. Se maldijo a sí mismo: ni queriendo habría podido sonar más salvaje.
-Lo siento- susurró Aria.
Él carraspeó.”

“Entonces me puse a luchar para escapar cuando la tregua por la sorpresa fue sustituida por un rugido de venganza, patadas y puñetazos dirigidos hacia mí y los guardias comenzaron a abrirse camino entre el gentío para alcanzarme. Accioné la hoja para rajar a uno o dos espectadores, lo que bastó para hacer correr la sangre y que los otros atacantes se pararan a pensar. Más tímidos ahora, abrieron espacio a mi alrededor.”
