Lionel Trilling
“consistent affection for his characters is what sets Tolstoy apart. Flaubert is equally “objective,” he says, but “Flaubert’s objectivity is charged with irritability and Tolstoy’s with affection. For Flaubert everyone and everything is somehow at fault. For Tolstoy everyone and everything has a saving grace.”

“By loving people without cause, he discovered indubitable causes for loving them.” It would be hard to find a more succinct description of the chief work of the Holy Spirit in the human heart.”
Lionel Trilling

Aldo Leopold
“We shall never achieve harmony with land, any more than we shall achieve absolute justice or liberty for people. In these higher aspirations the important thing is not to achieve, but to strive.”
Aldo Leopold, A Sand County Almanac and Sketches Here and There

Álvaro de Campos
“¡Y yo, que amo la civilización moderna, yo que beso con el alma las máquinas,
yo el ingeniero, yo el civilizado, yo el educado en el extranjero,
me gustaría tener otra vez ante mi vista sólo veleros y barcos de madera,
no saber de otra vida marítima que la antigua vida de los mares!
Porque los mares antiguos son la Distancia Absoluta
el Puro Lejos, liberado del peso de lo Actual...”
Álvaro de Campos heterónimo de Fernando Pessoa

Aldo Leopold
“We forest officers, who acquiesced in the extinguishment of the bear, knew a local rancher who had plowed up a dagger engraved with the name of one of Coronado´s captains. We spoke harshly of the Spaniards, who, in their zeal for gold and converts, had needlessly extinguished the native Indians. It did not occur to us that we, too, were the captains of an invasion too sure of its righteousness.”
Aldo Leopold, A Sand County Almanac and Sketches Here and There

“El país había entrado en una nebulosa donde la supuesta derecha acogía demasiados socialistas, y hasta comunistas, y la supuesta izquierda se las había arreglado para inventar una derecha”
Miguel Gomes, Retrato de un caballero
