Albert Camus
“Those who lack the courage will always find a philosophy to justify it.”
Albert Camus

Todd Burpo
“¿Qué es la humildad infantil? No es falta de inteligencia, sino falta de maña, falta de intereses ocultos. Es esa preciosa y efímera etapa antes de haber acumulado suficiente orgullo o actitud como para que nos importe lo que piensan los demás. Es la misma honestidad genuina que hace que un niño de tres años pueda chapotear alegremente en un charco de lluvia, revolcarse en el césped como un cachorrito mientras ríe a carcajadas o decir en voz muy alta que tienes un moco colgando de la nariz, la que se necesita para entrar en el cielo. Es lo opuesto a la ignorancia. Es honestidad intelectual: es estar dispuesto a aceptar la realidad aun cuando es difícil y llamar a las cosas por su nombre.”
Todd Burpo, Heaven is for Real: A Little Boy's Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back

Alan Weisman
“Los llaneros son reservados con la gente que acaban de conocer —le respondió el médico—. Ten paciencia.”
Alan Weisman, Un pueblo llamado Gaviotas: El lugar donde se reinventó el mundo

Marissa Meyer
“It’s just like the one Scarlet had.” He flipped the gun in his palms, running his thumbs along the barrel. “She shot me in the arm once.”

This confession was said with as much tenderness as if Scarlet had given him a bouquet of wildflowers rather than a bullet wound.

Cress and the others traded sorrowful looks.”
Marissa Meyer, Winter

Douglas Adams
“Well, I mean, yes idealism, yes the dignity of pure research, yes the pursuit of truth in all its forms, but there comes a point I'm afraid where you begin to suspect that the entire multidimensional infinity of the Universe is almost certainly being run by a bunch of maniacs. And if it comes to a choice between spending yet another ten million years finding that out, and on the other hand just taking the money and running, then I for one could do with the exercise.”
Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
