• Cuando descendemos hasta el fondo de la pérdida y moramos pacientemente, con el corazón abierto, en la oscuridad y el dolor, podemos volver a subir con nosotros la dulzura de la vida y el regocijo del crecimiento interior. Cuando ya no hay nada que perder, encontramos el verdadero yo, el yo que es completo, el yo que es suficiente, el yo que ya no busca en los demás la definición, ni la culminación, ni nada que no sea compañía en el camino.

• I think making a great action movie is one of the hardest cinematic endeavors. By definition, smart characters avoid action. Smart people don't go down dark alleys, but if you're making an action movie and you want to have an action sequence, somehow you have to get that character into that dangerous situation.

• Everyone wants a definition of creativity that makes what they do into something special and what everyone else does into nothing special. But the fact is, we're all creative. We come up with weird and interesting ideas all the time. The biggest difference between 'creators' isn't their imagination - it's how hard they work. Ideas are easy. Doing stuff is hard.

• Realizing who we are and what we may become assures us that with God nothing really is impossible. From the time we learn that Jesus wants us for a Sunbeam until we learn more fully the basic principles of the gospel, we are taught to strive for perfection. It is not new to us then to talk of the importance of achievement. The difficulty arises when inflated expectations of the world alter our definition of greatness.

• Misunderstanding may arise by confusing the Buddhist and scientific definitions of death. Within the scientific system you spoke quite validly of the death of the brain and the death of heart. Different parts of the body can die separately. However, in the Buddhist system, the word death is not used in that way. You'd never speak of the death of a particular part of the body, but rather of the death of an entire person. When people say that a certain person died, we don't ask, "Well, which part died?"

  Dalai Lama

• El arte. Sus definiciones son legión, sus significados multitudinarios, su importancia a menudo debatida. Pero entre las muchas definiciones contradictorias del arte, una ha resistido siempre la prueba del tiempo, desde los Upanishads en Oriente hasta Miguel Ángel en Occidente: el arte es la percepción y representación de lo sublime, lo trascendente, lo bello, lo espiritual.
