Miss Bingley's congratulations to her brother, on his approaching marriage, were all that was affectionate and insincere. ↗
It is fatal to be a man or woman pure and simple; one must be woman-manly or man-womanly. ... Some marriage of opposites has to be consummated. ↗
They are prepared for a God who strikes hard bargains but not for a God who gives as much for an hour's work as for a day's. They are prepared for a mustard-seed kingdom of God no bigger than the eye of a newt but not for the great banyan it becomes with birds in its branches singing Mozart. They are prepared for the potluck supper at First Presbyterian but not for the marriage supper of the lamb... ↗
I was acting like a child. Wanting his full attention. His declarations of love. I wanted to be his little princess, I guess. The one he worshiped and adored. Well, life's not like that. And after thinking it through, I actually wouldn't want it to be. We aren't put together in a marriage to stroke each other's ego. Marriage is a partnership. A blending of two lives working together. That's where the commitment comes in. It's a determination of the head - not the heart. No, I shouldn't say it that way. It still involves the heart. It still is based on love, but it's new kind of love. A mature love. One that doesn't ask, "What will you do for me?" but rather "What can I do for you?" or "What can we do for each other? ↗

And were we not lovely, then, were we not as lovely as thunder, and damp grass, and flame? ↗
Yo me dediqué a hacer críticas, muchas veces despiadadas, de la conducta del mexicano - y de la mexicana. El mexicano es el pueblo, pero yo nunca pinté al pueblo como lo pintaban los antiguos caricaturistas, en calidad de eterna e impotente víctima de los poderosos, llamándole 'Juan Pueblo'. Yo incluí al mexicano entre los culpables de lo que ocurre en México. Tal vez el principal culpable. El problema de México es el subdesarrollo, eso es nuestra vergüenza, y de ella somos culpables todos. El subdesarrollo es causado por la desigualdad y la injusticia, tiene como motor descompuesto la ineptitud y en la basura que produce florece, mejor que en ninguna otra parte, la corrupción". ↗
En ningún caso, solía insistir, comprendían los magos necesariamente su arte, a pesar de que la experiencia lo había llevado a un par de conclusiones generales sobre el tema.
