• Los árboles de tu huerto no dicen lo mismo, ni los rebaños de tus pastos. El que es digno de recibir sus días y sus noches, es digno de todo lo demás de ti. Y el que ha merecido beber del océano de la vida merece llenar su copa de tu pequeño arroyo. Asegúrate primero de que tú mismo mereces ser un dador y un instrumento para dar. Porque, en verdad, es la vida la que da la vida, mientras que tú, que te consideras dador, no eres más que un testigo.

• Why is it we want so badly to memorialize ourselves? Even while we're still alive. We wish to assert our existence, like dogs peeing on fire hydrants. We put on display our framed photographs, our parchment diplomas, our silver-plated cups; we monogram our linen, we carve our names on trees, we scrawl them on washroom walls. It's all the same impulse. What do we hope from it? Applause, envy, respect? Or simply attention, of any kind we can get? At the very least we want a witness. We can't stand the idea of our own voices falling silent finally, like a radio running down.

• It is like the thirsty traveller who at first sincerely sought the water of knowledge, but who later, having found it plain perhaps, proceeded to temper his cup with the salt of doubt so that his thirst now becomes insatiable though he drinks incessantly, and that in thus drinking the water that cannot slake his thirst, he has forgotten the original and true purpose for which the water was sought.
