"Estoy realmente impresionado con la increíble habilidad de Octavio Paz para sentar las bases sobre las que espero continué derrochando el tamaño de su habilidad literaria.

Entender el pasado de Hispanoamérica es algo que me atrae muchísimo, sobre todo después de escuchar a Puglia hablar sobre cómo Borges desde la periferia y sin ese pasado del barroco español construye su edificio."

Bill  Gates
“I choose a lazy person to do a hard job. Because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it.”
Bill Gates

Thomas  Harris
“If you believe you are beyond harm, will you go inside? Will you enter this palace so prominent in blood and glory, follow your face through the web-spanned dark, toward the exquisite chiming of the clavier? The alarms cannot see us. The wet policeman lurking in the doorway cannot see us. Come …”
Thomas Harris, Hannibal

Patrick Rothfuss
“Elodin pointed down the street. "What color is that boy's shirt?"

"Blue."

"What do you mean by blue? Describe it."

I struggled for a moment, failed. "So blue is a name?"

"It is a word. Words are pale shadows of forgotten names. As names have power, words have power. Words can light fires in the minds of men. Words can wring tears from the hardest hearts. There are seven words that will make a person love you. There are ten words that will break a strong man's will. But a word is nothing but a painting of a fire. A name is the fire itself."

My head was swimming by this point. "I still don't understand."

He laid a hand on my shoulder. "Using words to talk of words is like using a pencil to draw a picture of itself, on itself. Impossible. Confusing. Frustrating." He lifted his hands high above his head as if stretching for the sky. "But there are other ways to understanding!" he shouted, laughing like a child. He threw both arms to the cloudless arch of sky above us, still laughing. "Look!" he shouted tilting his head back. "Blue! Blue! Blue!”
Patrick Rothfuss, The Name of the Wind

Frédéric Bastiat
“Everyone wants to live at the expense of the state. They forget that the state lives at the expense of everyone.”
Frederick Bastiat

Terry Pratchett
“In ancient times cats were worshipped as gods; they have not forgotten this.”
Terry Pratchett
