“The fact is always obvious much too late, but the most singular difference between happiness and joy is that happiness is a solid and joy a liquid.”

Tal vez haya perdido en los últimos cientos de miles de años el conocimiento consciente de cómo hacerlo crecer, pero ese conocimiento todavía está ahí porque, evidentemente, lo he usado... Se necesitaría mucha meditación y vacío para recuperarlo todo, quiero decir, el conocimiento consciente, pero uno podría hacerlo si quisiera. Si se abriera lo suficiente.

Pero los médicos hablan de las células como si tuvieran importancia ilimitada en sí mismas. Como si en realidad no pertenecieran a la persona que las posee. -Con una mano, Teddy se apartó el pelo de la frente-. Yo hice crecer mi propio cuerpo -dijo-. Nadie lo ha hecho por mí. De modo que, si yo lo hice crecer, debo saber cómo. Por lo menos inconscientemente.

Podría fracturarme el cráneo y morir instantáneamente -Teddy miró a Nocholson-. Podría ocurrir -dijo-. Mi hermana sólo tiene seis años y no hace muchas vidas que es un ser humano., y no me quiere mucho. Podría pasar, desde luego. Pero, ¿qué tendría de trágico? ¿De qué podría tener miedo? Después de todo, yo no estaría haciendo más que lo que debo hacer, ¿verdad?

- ¡Es tan tonto! - dijo Teddy otra vez-. Por ejemplo, tengo una clase de natación dentro de cinco minutos. Podría bajar a la piscina y encontrarme con que no tiene agua. Podría ser el día en que cambian el agua, por ejemplo. Podría pasar, por ejemplo, que yo me acercara hasta el borde, como para mirar al fondo, y que mi hermana viniera y me diera un empujón.

Realmente bueno el último cuento, Teddy. Creo que los dos cuentos con niños «prodigio» son muy buenos.
Fascinante conversación sobre Dios, espiritualismo, cómo habría que salir de la lógica para «salir de las dimensiones finitas», y que la manzana que comió Adán era «la lógica y demás cosas intelectuales».

- Cuando salga por esa puerta, tal vez exista sólo en la mente de los que me conocen -dijo-. Puedo ser una cáscara de naranja.

Algunas empiezan ahora a hundirse. En pocos minutos, sólo flotarán en mi mente. Es muy interesante, porque, según se mire, ahí es donde empezaron a flotar por primera vez. Sí yo no hubiera estado aquí, o si hubiera venido alguien y me hubiera cortado la cabeza justo en el momento en que...

- No quiero decir que sea interesante porque fluyan -dijo Teddy-. Es interesante que yo sepa que están ahí. Si no las hubiera visto, no sabría que están ahí, y si no supiera que están ahí, ni siquiera podría afirmar que existen.

Teddy tells the story of a gifted boy on a cruise. We first see how he speaks and expresses himself -way too properly for his age- and later in the story his precocity is addressed. Very interesting ideas about meditation and reincarnation, I think Salinger was following Zen Buddhism at some point.

De Daumier-Smith's Blue period, a young artist (19) finding his place in the world joins an art school. Quite nice and surreal

In "Pretty mouth and green my eyes", a man and a woman are together in his bedroom when he receives a call from a distressed man whose wife hasn't arrived home after a party both of them attended.

Throughout the phone call, we learn from the husband's doubts and and problems, and see how the other man attempts to reassure him: we are lead to believe that the woman in that bedroom is the caller's wife... then, PKD

An American receives an invitation for a wedding in England. He would love to go, but can't, and so he starts writing a letter where we, the readers, find out how it all came to be.
A soldier in WW2, this person was training in Devon before D-day. He meets a young girl on a rainy day... The letter explains how they meet and then takes us some time after V-day.
So very nicely written, great, clever dialogue...

The Laughing Man is the story that the Chief Comanche tells a bunch of kids (the Comanche Club) every afternoon and national holiday for sports and other activities.

Set in 1928, these kids live in NY, and spend a lot of their spare time in Central Park. The Comanche Club is men-only, until it is disrupted by the presence of Mary.

This story gracefully combines childhood, adulthood and fantasy. Really nice.
