El amor de cabeza tiene a no dudar más talento que el amor de corazón, pero sus momentos de entusiasmo son ráfagas, relámpagos que brillan y se extinguen: se conoce demasiado bien, se somete sin cesar al tribunal de la razón, piensa mucho... ¡como que su fundamento son los pensamientos!

las extravagancias de Matilde muy bien pueden pasar por destellos de su genio... El genio, cuando va unido a una estirpe preclara y a una fortuna grande, nunca es ridículo.

¿Por qué se me ha de obligar a que sostenga hoy las opiniones que defendía ha seis semanas? Si así lo hiciese, yo sería un esclavo, y mis opiniones mi tirano.

Era el barón uno de esos tipos que no pueden decir palabras sueltas, de los que, para brillar, necesitan pronunciar discursos.

Al hombre que tiene algún mérito a tus ojos, ponle obstáculos que se opongan a cuanto desee y a cuanto emprenda, que si el mérito es real, sabrá destruirlos u orillarlos.

atesoraba una de esas almas generosas para quienes vislumbrar la posibilidad de llevar a cabo una acción generosa v no realizarla era manantial de remordimientos casi tan vivos como si hubiese cometido un crimen

los hombres crean la opinión pública y la opinión pública es formidable en todo país q se rige por una Constitución. Un hombre q atesora un alma noble, generosa, hubiese sido vuestro amigo; pero toma la opinión pública como base del juicio q de vosotros forma, y como la opinión pública la crean los necios q el azar hizo nacer nobles, ricos y, moderados, la consecuencia es fatalmente inevitable ¡ay del q se distingue!

¡He aquí el fruto desdichado de una civilización excesiva! A los veinte años, el alma del joven que ha recibido alguna instrucción se encuentra a cien leguas de esa hermosa confianza que es el más dulce condimento del amor, de esa fe sin la cual aquel sentimiento resultaría en muchas ocasiones obligación tediosa y desagradable.

She wanted to call Claire over, (...) , try to explain, or to try to start to explain, what her life had been. How this show might begin to convey it all, the palimpsest that was her heart, the way things could be written over but never erased. She was simply never going to be a blank slate.

The whole play is about Hamlet trying to avenge his father’s death, trying to tell the truth, right? And then when he dies, he hands it all to Horatio. In this harsh world draw thy breath in pain, to tell my story. See, I’d have made a great Hamlet! But what a burden. To be Horatio. To be the one with the memory.

As he got sicker, it was more and more often how he thought of people—of Charlie, certainly, and of everyone else here or gone: not as the sum of all the disappointments, but as every beginning they’d ever represented, every promise.

“She loved him,” Yale said instead of contradicting her, instead of saying it was okay if she hadn’t liked it at all. “Even if she shouldn’t have. I think it was one of those things where you can’t let go of how you first saw the person.”

it was an artifact of love. Well—of a hopeless, doomed, selfish, ridiculous love, but what other kind had ever existed?

In the years since Yale had seen the pieces, they’d taken on the aura of famous works of art. Important because you’d seen them before, and your brain already had a slot for them. An old friend met years later on the street corner. Your high school history textbook found again and, through its distant familiarity, made holy.

That’s the difference between optimism and naivety. No one in this room is naive. Naive people haven’t been through real trials yet, so they think it could never happen to them. Optimists have been through it already, and we keep getting up each day because we believe we can keep it from happening again. Or we trick ourselves into thinking it.

It’s always a matter, isn’t it, of waiting for the world to come unraveled? When things hold together, it’s always only temporary.

It struck Yale that day how they both had a way of interacting with the world that was simultaneously selfish and generous—grabbing at beauty and reflecting beauty back. The benches and fire hydrants and manhole covers Nico and Richard stopped to photograph were made more beautiful by their noticing. They were left more beautiful, once they walked away.

He sat there like it wasn’t the least bit unusual, the sun glinting off him. I wanted to paint him, that was my first thought, but the next instant I was smitten. I’d never understood it before, how artists fall for their muses. I thought it was just a bunch of men who couldn’t keep it in their pants. But there was something about the need to paint him and the need to possess him—they were the same impulse.

Well, here it was, then: longing, missing. The most useless kind of love.

If you learned new details about someone who was gone, then he wasn’t vanishing. He was getting bigger, realer.

estas infraestructuras de poder centralizado, persistente y oscuro no están diseñadas para ayudarnos a gestionar esa crisis. Están diseñadas para gestionarnos a nosotros durante la crisis. No nos van a servir para hacer frente al poder. Las herramientas del poder nunca sirven para desmantelarlo.

un oportunista que usa la desinformación para llamar la atención y hacerse rico. Es interesante recordar eso cuando se discute con esta clase de trolls: cada minuto que pasamos negando sus disparatadas afirmaciones, él hace caja.
