Robert D. Putnam
“Poor kids, through no fault of their own, are less prepared by their families, their schools, and their communities to develop their God-given talents as fully as rich kids. For economic productivity and growth, our country needs as much talent as we can find, and we certainly can’t afford to waste it. The opportunity gap imposes on all of us both real costs and what economists term “opportunity costs.”
Robert D. Putnam, Our Kids: The American Dream in Crisis

Octavio Paz
“La primera nota caraterítica del amor es la exlusividad... El amor es individual o más exactamente, interpersonal: queremos únicamente a una persona y le pedimos a esa persona que nos quiera con el mismo afecto exclusivo.”
Octavio Paz, The Double Flame: Love and Eroticism

Christopher Hitchens
“Have a lived life instead of a career. Put yourself in the safekeeping of good taste. Lived freedom will compensate you for a few losses. . . . If you don’t like the style of others, cultivate your own. Get to know the tricks of reproduction, be a self-publisher even in conversation, and then the joy of working can fill your days.”
Christopher Hitchens, Letters to a Young Contrarian

Stefan Zweig
“But you smiled at me and said consolingly, "People come back again."
"Yes" I said, "they come back, but then they have forgotten".
There must have been something odd, something passionate in the way I said that to you. For you rose to your feet as well and looked at me, affectionately and very surprised. You took me by the shoulders. "What's good is not forgotten; I will not forget you," you said, and as you did so you gazed intently at me as if to memorise my image.”
Stefan Zweig, Letter from an Unknown Woman and Other Stories

Christopher Hitchens
“this is what I have been telling writing classes for years. You must feel not that you want to but that you have to.”
Christopher Hitchens, Letters to a Young Contrarian
