• I have never been able to write with anything more than the left hand of my mind; the right hand has always been engaged in something to do with personal relationships. I don't complain, because I think my left hand's power, as much as it has, is due to its knowledge of what my right hand is doing.

• ought we not, from time to time, open ourselves up to cosmic sadness? ... Give your sorrow all the space and shelter in yourself that is its due, for if everyone bears his grief honestly and courageously, the sorrow that now fills the world will abate. But if you do not clear a decent shelter for your sorrow, and instead reserve most of the space inside you for hatred and thoughts of revenge-from which new sorrows will be born for others-then sorrow will never cease in this world and will multiply.

  Etty Hillesum

• I trust in due time to lay the perfidy, meanness, and wickedness of [Henry] Clay naked before the American people.

• It cannot be too strongly asserted that the insistence on blind, unreasoning faith is due mainly to the maintenance of a subject-matter upon which there was no knowledge, namely the 'other world'; and that this basis was assumed because of early man's preoccupation with death. It is, unfortunately, quite possible to believe a thing which is contradicted by facts, especially if the facts are not generally known; but if the whole position on which we rested our religions had been visibly opposed by what we did know, even the unthinking masses would, in time, have noticed it.

• Alguien que respondió a la historia dijo "los verdaderos espías no hablan así". Pues bien, yo soy espía y así es como hablan. Siempre que debatimos en la oficina sobre cómo tratar los delitos, no defienden el debido proceso, sino la acción decisiva. Dicen que es mejor echar a alguien de un avión que dejar que estas personas tengan un día en los tribunales. Es una mentalidad autoritaria en general.

• Due to people's health, and certain things that have happened to people's physicality because of their healthy, that would probably keep us from touring per se. It doesn't mean that the original band wouldn't someday do a song. But our focus is on the current band, and moving into the future, as far as touring is concerned.

• I don't spend as much time drawing as I do writing and reading. That's the really work-intensive part. And by the time I have enough material, it's often way past due time to put the comic up, and I'm already behind schedule, and I have to kind of rush it.

  He that doth still and strongly good pursue
  To God, his neighbor, and himself most true:

  Unpin, or wrench from giving all their due.

• Una vez que te das cuenta de que el mundo es tu propia proyección, te liberas de él. No necesitas liberarte de un mundo que no existe, ¡excepto en tu propia imaginación! Sea como sea el cuadro, bonito o feo, tú lo estás pintando y no estás atado a él. Date cuenta de que nadie te lo impone, que se debe al hábito de tomar lo imaginario por real. Ve lo imaginario como imaginario y libérate del miedo.

• If experience teaches anything, it is that what the community undertakes to do is usually done badly. This is due in part to the temptation to corruption that such enterprises involve, but even more, perhaps, to the lack of personal interest on the part of those engaged in them.

• It is pleasant to be virtuous and good, because that is to excel many others; it is pleasant to grow better, because that is to excel ourselves; it is pleasant to mortify and subdue our lusts, because that is victory; it is pleasant to command our appetites and passions, and to keep them in due order within the bounds of reason and religion, because this is empire.

• Leadership is creating a state of mind in others. The difference between being a leader and manager, all due respect to managers, is that leaders have to create states of mind. But a leader, first of all, has to have a clear state of mind, which is usually her own vision, which energizes her, motivates others, and then creates that state of mind in others.

• Las películas reflejan y crean condiciones sociales, pero su encanto especial consiste en ofrecer ropajes de fantasía como realidad virtual, un mundo donde la gente consume sin el tedio del trabajo.

• In the turbulence of this anxious and active world many people are leading uneventful, lonely lives. To them dreariness, not disaster, is the enemy. They seldom realize that on their steadfastness, on their ability to withstand the fatigue of dull repetitive work, and on their courage in meeting constant small adversities depend in great measure the happiness and prosperity of the community as a whole. ... The upward course of a nation's history is due in the long run to the soundness of heart of its average men and women.

• As towards most other things of which we have but little personal experience (foreigners, or socialists, or aristocrats, as the case may be), there is a degree of vague ill-will towards what is called Thinking. ... I am tempted to believe that much of the mischief thus laid at the door of that poor unknown quantity Thinking is really due to its ubiquitous twin-brother Talking.
