• The pirates are serving a purpose right now. They come from regions which have been completely ignored, and Westerners have tried to destroy these regions by their constant plundering of resources and by the illegal dumping of nuclear waste. The pirates really began in order to discourage these actions - initially. And then the business became lucrative.

• Antes de la primera prueba de la bomba atómica, los científicos se tomaron la molestia de calcular si la explosión encendería el nitrógeno de la atmósfera terrestre y nos incineraría a todos. El riesgo era bajo y la prueba se llevó a cabo, pero Rees se pregunta cuáles tendrían que haber sido las probabilidades para desanimar a los fabricantes de la bomba.

• Showing weakness will encourage your opponents. It inspires them. It encourages them to hit harder. To come faster. But when you don't show any fear, or when you don't show any hurt, you have the opportunity to discourage your opponent. You discourage your enemies. The bottom line is, if you think properly, you don't even have to think about all of that. All you have to think about is that guy across from me is human, and so am I. And he'll never out-work me. He'll never out-think me. And if you can't out-work me, and you can't out-think me, you'll never beat me.

• Buda hablaba de la realidad. La realidad puede ser una, en su esencia más profunda, pero Buda también afirmó que todas las proposiciones sobre la realidad son sólo contingentes. La realidad está desprovista de cualquier identidad intrínseca que pueda ser capturada por una sola proposición - eso es lo que Buda quiso decir con "vacuidad". Por lo tanto, el budismo desaconseja enérgicamente la fe ciega y el fanatismo.

• Todos los refinamientos técnicos me desaniman. La fotografía perfecta, las pantallas más grandes, el sonido de alta fidelidad, todo hace posible que los mediocres reproduzcan servilmente la naturaleza; y esta reproducción me aburre. Lo que me interesa es la interpretación de la vida por un artista. La personalidad del cineasta me interesa más que la copia de un objeto.

• Aplasta primero tu individualidad. Sacúdete los sueños de comodidad personal. Luego empieza a trabajar. Pulgada a pulgada tendrás que avanzar. Se necesita coraje, perseverancia y una determinación muy fuerte. Ni las dificultades ni las penurias te desanimarán. Ni los fracasos ni las traiciones te desanimarán. Ningún trabajo que te impongan apagará en ti la voluntad revolucionaria. A través de la prueba de sufrimientos y sacrificios saldréis victoriosos. Y estas victorias individuales serán los valiosos activos de la revolución.

• There are two sure ways to fail: never get started and quit before you succeed. Many companies promote the language of risk-taking and innovation but are so concerned with short term profit goals that their culture discourages innovation (trying new things) and abandons promising projects too soon. It shouldn't require exceptional moral courage to try new things and stick with them.

• The only thing I would advise young actors to do is prepare for the amount of adversity that you're going to come in contact with by choosing to be an actor because before you actually "made it" or get the skills, people are all not going to take you seriously, and many people will try to discourage you from it. Don't take any of their advice. Do it, and do it and do it. Remember the compliments. Forget the insults.

• Neither let mistakes and wrong directions - of which every man, in his studies and elsewhere, falls into many - discourage you. There is precious instruction to be got by finding that we are wrong. Let a man try faithfully, manfully to be right, he will grow daily more and more right. It is, at bottom, the condition which all men have to cultivate themselves. Our very walking is an incessant falling - a falling and a catching of ourselves before we come actually to the pavement! - it is emblematic of all things a man does.

• If you're a creative person, you'd better not read what people write about you, because if it's good it'll blow your head up and it'll force you not to take the subway and you'll start taking cabs, and you'd better stay around people, and if it's bad, it just hurts your feelings so much it discourages you.

• It is ... marvellous ... to have a period of apparent fanaticism. No obstacle can discourage you. The single vision of your quest obscures defeat and lifts you over mountainous difficulties.

• The purpose of [a lawsuit] is to harass and discourage rather than to win. The law can be used very easily to harass, and enough harassment on somebody who is simply on the thin edge anyway, well knowing that he is not authorized, will generally be sufficient to cause his professional decease. If possible, of course, ruin him utterly.

• Beginning a novel is always hard. It feels like going nowhere. I always have to write at least 100 pages that go into the trashcan before it finally begins to work. It's discouraging, but necessary to write those pages. I try to consider them pages -100 to zero of the novel.

• They put the thing down your throat so you don't swallow your tongue, and they put electrodes on your head. That's what was recommended in Rockland State Hospital to discourage homosexual feelings.
