| f67af0a | Mediante la fotografia y la palabra escrita intento desesperadamente vencer la condicion fugaz de mi existencia, atrapar los momentos antes de que se desvanezcan, despejar la confusion de mi pasado. | writing | Isabel Allende | |
| e58c9c7 | I write, she wrote, that memory is fragile and the space of a single life is brief, passing so quickly that we never get a chance to see the relationship between events; we cannot gauge the consequences of our acts, and we believe in the fiction of past, present, and future, but it may also be true that everything happens simultaneously...That's why my Grandmother Clara wrote in her notebooks, in order to see things in their true dimension | Isabel Allende | ||
| 299cf19 | La Lowell wanted nothing; she lived for the day, unfettered, free, fearless; she wasn't afraid of poverty, loneliness, or infirmity. She accepted everything with good grace; for her, life was an entertaining voyage that inevitably led to old age and death. There was no point in accumulating wealth since in the end, she maintained, we all go to the grave in our birthday suit. | Isabel Allende | ||
| 459f956 | I have the idea that we grandmothers are meant to play the part of protective witches; we must watch over younger women, children, community, and also, why not?, this mistreated planet, the victim of such unrelenting desecration. I would like to fly on a broomstick and dance in the moonlight with other pagan witches in the forest, invoking earth forces and howling demons; I want to become a wise old crone, to learn ancient spells and healer.. | Isabel Allende | ||

| cc2e503 | The house was a vast labyrinth of books. Volumes were stacked from floor to ceiling on every wall, dark, crackling, redolent of leather bindings, smooth to the touch, with their gold titles and translucent gilt-edged pages and delicate typography. | Isabel Allende | ||

| 0bb1194 | How exuberant and boisterous the universe is, Alma! It turns and turns, and the only constant is everything changes. It is a mystery we can only appreciate out of stillness. I'm living through a very interesting stage. My spirit contemplates the changes in my body with fascination, but this contemplation is not from a distance, but from within. My spirit and my body are together in this process. | Isabel Allende | ||
| 21fd59e | Al nacer Rosa era blanca, lisa, sin arrugas, como una muneca de loza, con el cabello verde y los ojos amarillos, la criatura mas hermosa que habia nacido en la tierra desde los tiempos de pecado original. | Isabel Allende | ||

| 926e43a | I'll tell you, that's one thing I hate about my nickname, the way the number runs on forever. It's important in life to conclude things properly. Only then can you let go. Otherwise you are left with words you should have said but never did, and your heart is heavy with remorse. | Yann Martel | ||

| 1eac614 | Cinta sulit dipercaya, tanyakan pada siapapun yang sedang jatuh cinta. Kehidupan ini juga sulit dipercaya, tanyakan pada ilmuwan manapun. Tuhan juga sulit dipercaya, tanyakan pada siapapun yang memercayainya. Kenapa Anda tidak menerima hal-hal yang sulit dipercaya? | hidup jatuh-cinta kehidupan kepercayaan percaya tuhan | Yann Martel | |
| 98aac2d | To prosper, a zoo needs parliamentary government, democratic elections, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of association, rule of law and everything else enshrined in India's Constitution. Impossible to enjoy the animals otherwise. Long-term, bad politics is bad for business. | Yann Martel | ||

| 242eda3 | There are always those who take it upon themselves to defend God, as if Ultimate Reality, as if the sustaining frame of existence, were something weak and helpless. | Yann Martel | ||
| db24b0e | There are many examples of animals coming to surprising living arrangements...where an animal takes a human being or another animal to be one of it's kind. | Yann Martel | ||
| 8107e0a | he found it where he should have looked first, on the Internet, which is a net indeed, one that can be cast further than the eye can see and be retrieved no matter how heavy the hall, its magical mesh never breaking under the strain but always bringing in the most amazing catch. | Yann Martel | ||
| 223aebf | You may be astonished that in such a short period of time I could go from weeping over the muffled killing of a flying fish to gleefully bludgeoning to death a dorado. I could explain it by arguing that profiting from a pitiful flying fish's navigational mistake made me shy and sorrowful, while the excitement of actively capturing a great dorado made me sanguinary and self-assured. But in point of fact the explanation lies elsewhere. It is .. | Yann Martel | ||

| de7b8b3 | There are no grounds for going beyond a scientific explanation of reality and no sound reason for believing anything but our sense experience. A clear intellect, close attention to detail and a little scientific knowledge will expose religion as superstitious bosh. God does not exist. -- Why tolerate darkness? Everything is here and clear, if only we look carefully. | Yann Martel | ||
| 4785bd0 | If you stumble at mere believability, what are you living for? Isn't love hard to believe? Don't you bully me with your politeness! Love is hard to believe, ask any lover. Life is hard to believe, ask any scientist. God is hard to believe, ask any believer. What is your problem with hard to believe? | faith life love | Yann Martel | |
| b006caf | I applied my reason at every moment. Reason is excellent for getting food, clothing and shelter. Reason is the very best tool kit. Nothing beats reason for keeping tigers away. But be excessively reasonable and you risk throwing out the universe with the bathwater. | Yann Martel | ||
| e4e7f54 | Isn't telling about something--using words, English or Japanese--already something of an invention? Isn't just looking upon this world already something of an invention?

| d17b514 | A zoo is a cultural institution. Like a public library, like a museum, it is at the service of popular education and science. And by that token, not much of a money-making venture for the Greater Good and the Greater Profit are not compatible aims. | Yann Martel | ||
