• Certainly neo-Platonism, Plotinus and Porphyry and that school are psychedelic philosophers.

• In her final months Princess Diana was being shat upon by the tabloids -- basically for sleeping with an Arab. When she died, these same papers were astonished by the millennial wave of emotionalism that swept the country ... One paper had a print-ready story about what a slag the Princess was, and they had to pull it at the last moment. It was replaced with an image of Diana as an angel, ascending to heaven.

• The case of the Baconians is not won until it has been proved that the substitution of covetousness for wantlessness, or an ascending spiral of desires for a stable requirement of necessities, leads to a happier condition.

  Siempre que uno festeja, piensa en su hermano el doble que antes,
  Allí donde mi hermano lejano está ascendiendo,
  el cornejo está floreciendo, y se echa de menos a un hombre.

• El abrazo del tiempo presente y pasado, en el que el anticuarismo inglés se convierte en una forma de alquimia, engendra una extraña atemporalidad. Es como si el pajarillo que volaba por la sala de banquetes anglosajona, en la Historia Ecclesiastica Gentis Anglorum de Bede, ganara el aire exterior y se convirtiera en la alondra que asciende en la ambientación orquestal de Vaughan Williams. La cadena ininterrumpida es la de la propia música inglesa.

• A menudo existe una desconexión angustiosa entre las buenas palabras que pronunciamos y la forma en que vivimos nuestras vidas. En las relaciones personales y en la política, en los medios de comunicación de masas, en la academia y en la religión organizada, nuestras buenas palabras tienden a alejarse flotando incluso cuando salen de nuestros labios, ascendiendo a una altitud en la que ni reflejan ni conectan con la condición humana. Anhelamos que palabras como amor, verdad y justicia se hagan carne y habiten entre nosotros. Pero en nuestro mundo violento, es arriesgado envolver nuestra frágil carne con palabras como esas, y no nos gustan las probabilidades.

• There is no tongue to speak his eulogy;
  Too brightly burned his splendour for our eyes:
  Far easier to condemn his injurers,
  Than for the tongue to reach his smallest worth.
  He to the realms of sinfulness came down,
  To teach mankind; ascending then to God,
  Heaven unbarred to him her lofty gates,
  To whom his country hers refused to ope.
  Ungrateful land, to its own injury
  Nurse of his fate! Well too does this instruct,
  That greatest ills fall to the perfectest.
  And 'midst a thousand proofs, let this suffice,
  That, as his exile had no parallel,
  So never was there man more great than he.

• Recuerda que al ascender al Padre no podías dejarnos huérfanos; Y al hacerte prisionero en la tierra supiste velar todos tus rayos divinos. Pero la sombra de tu velo es luminosa y pura. Pan vivo de fe, Alimento celestial, ¡Oh misterio de amor! Mi Pan de cada día, Jesús, eres Tú!... Jesús, eres Tú quien, a pesar de las blasfemias De los enemigos del Sacramento del amor, Eres Tú quien quieres mostrar cuánto me amas, Puesto que haces tu morada en mi corazón. ¡Oh Pan de los desterrados! Hostia Santa y Divina, Ya no soy yo quien vive, sino que vivo de tu vida

  Therese of Lisieux

• You don't think progress goes in a straight line, do you? Do you recognize that it is an ascending, accelerating, maybe even exponential curve? It takes hell's own time to get started, but when it goes it goes like a bomb.

• Mingled vanity and pride appear in this, that when miserable men do seek after God, instead of ascending higher than themselves as they ought to do, they measure him by their own carnal stupidity, and neglecting solid inquiry, fly off to indulge their curiosity in vain speculation.

• Para mí nunca ha habido una fuente más alta de honor o distinción que la relacionada con los avances de la ciencia. No he poseído suficiente águila en mi carácter para hacer un vuelo directo a las más altas altitudes del mundo social; y ciertamente nunca me he esforzado por alcanzar esas alturas usando los poderes rastreros del reptil, que al ascender, generalmente escoge el camino más sucio, porque es el más fácil.

• Without deductive logic science would be entirely useless. It is merely a barren game to ascend from the particular to the general, unless afterwards we can reverse the process and descend from the general to the particular, ascending and descending like angels on Jacob's ladder.

• There is no chance, no destiny, no fate,Can circumvent or hinder or controlThe firm resolve of a determined soul.Gifts count for nothing; will alone is great;All things give way before it soon or late.What obstacle can stay the mighty forceOf the sea seeking river in its course,Or cause the ascending orb of day to wait?

• Indeed, while Nature is wonderfully inventive of new structures, her conservatism in holding on to old ones is still more remarkable. In the ascending line of development she tries an experiment once exceedingly thorough, and then the question is solved for all time. For she always takes time enough to try the experiment exhaustively. It took ages to find how to build a spinal column or brain, but when the experiment was finished she had reason to be, and was, satisfied.

• I'm enjoying [my career]. If anything I'm aware that the pressure of the first, I suppose, six or seven years I was in America - I mean that energy of having such a rapid and ascending celebrity - it's not there anymore. It's the end of that chapter and now I'm just enjoying the work probably more than I ever have and yet I'm simultaneously less attached to it I think, which is kind of a strange state of grace to be in.
