• A lot of women these days, a lot of young women don't want to call themselves feminists. You have this cheap, hideous 'girl power' sort of fad, which I think is pretty benign at best, but at worst, I think it's a way of taking the politics out of feminism and making it some kind of fashion.

• We need to be much clearer about what we do and do not know so that we don't continually confuse the two. If I could have one wish for education, it would be the systematic ordering of our basic knowledge in such a way that what is known and true can be acted on, while what is superstition, fad, and myth can be recognized as such and used only when there is nothing else to support us in our frustration and despair.

• Una queja menor: las extensiones de pelo. Hay momentos en "Todos mis hijos" en los que la mitad de las actrices, jóvenes y mayores, parecen estar afectadas por el síndrome de la Barbie androide. Todos esos mechones gruesos y sin vida se agrupan alrededor de los cuellos de las mujeres. Al igual que el spray bronceador naranja, se trata de una moda a la que habría que poner fin.

• The common idea that scientists reject a theory as soon as it leads to a contradiction is just not so. When they get something that works at all they plunge ahead with it and ignore its weak spots... scientists are just as bad as the rest of the public in following fads and being influenced by mass enthusiasm.

• A fad or heresy is the exaltation of something which even if true, is secondary or temporary in its nature against those things which are essential and eternal, those things which always prove themselves true in the long run. In short, it is the setting up of the mood against the mind.

  Gilbert K. Chesterton

• Though the academic authorities are actually proud of conducting everything by means of Examinations, they seldom indulge in what religious people used to descibe as Self-Examination. The consequence is that the modern State has educated its citizens in a series of ephemeral fads.

• Demanding immediate success invariably leads to playing the fads or fashions currently performing well rather than investing on a solid basis. A course of investment, once charted, should be given time to work out. Patience is a crucial but rare investment commodity.

• Cuidado con los compromisos. No quiero decir que entres en antagonismo con nadie, pero tienes que aferrarte a tus propios principios en el bien o en el mal y nunca ajustarlos a las "modas" de otros por la codicia de conseguir partidarios. Tu Âtman es el apoyo del universo - ¿el apoyo de quién necesitas? Espera con paciencia, amor y fuerza; si los ayudantes no están listos ahora, llegarán a su debido tiempo. ¿Por qué deberíamos tener prisa? La verdadera fuerza de trabajo de toda gran obra está en sus comienzos casi imperceptibles.

• The lesson about food is that the most predictable and the most orderly outcomes are always not the best. They are just easier to describe. Fads are orderly. Food carts and fires aren't. Feeding the world could be a delicious mess, full of diverse flavors and sometimes good old-fashioned smoke.

• As a composer I might class myself as a Neo-Romantic, inasmuch as I have always regarded music as a highly personal and emotional form of expression. I like to write music which takes its inspiration from poetry, art and nature. I do not care for purely decorative music. Although I am in sympathy with modern idioms, I abhor music which attempts nothing more than the illustration of a stylistic fad. And in using modern techniques, I have tried at all times to subjugate them to a larger idea or a grander human feeling.
