• The human race, in its intellectual life, is organized like the bees: the masculine soul is a worker, sexually atrophied, and essentially dedicated to impersonal and universal arts; the feminine is queen, infinite fertile, omnipresent in its brooding industry, but passive and abounding in intuitions without method and passions without justice.

• It is this that, finally, I will try to teach my sons about sex, after I've explained fertile periods and birth control and all the other mechanics that are important to understand but never really go to the heart of the matter: I believe I will say that when you sleep with someone you take off a lot more than your clothes.

• Chaos theory, a more recent invention, is equally fertile ground for those with a bent for abusing sense. It is unfortunately named, for 'chaos' implies randomness. Chaos in the technical sense is not random at all. It is completely determined, but it depends hugely, in strangely hard-to-predict ways, on tiny differences in initial conditions.

• The Truth must be told at all costs, no matter how unpopular it may be. The authentic spiritual leader, having freed himself of his own false need to be popular, tells the Truth whether it falls on fertile or stony ground. Such a teacher is the salt of the earth, though few know it. If you think the world is delirious as is, you would find it intolerable without his healing influence.

• I often recall these words when I am writing, and I think to myself, “It’s true. There aren’t any new words. Our job is to give new meanings and special overtones to absolutely ordinary words.” I find the thought reassuring. It means that vast, unknown stretches still lie before us, fertile territories just waiting for us to cultivate them.

• It is most certainly a good thing that the world knows only the beautiful opus but not its origins, not the conditions of its creation; for if people knew the sources of the artist's inspiration, that knowledge would often confuse them, alarm them, and thereby destroy the effects of excellence. strange hours! strangely enervating labor! bizarrely fertile intercourse of the mind with a body!

• Para que la rueda gire, para que la vida sea vivida, son necesarias las impurezas, y las impurezas de las impurezas en la tierra, también, como se sabe, para que sea fértil. La disensión, la diversidad, el grano de sal y de mostaza son necesarios: El fascismo no las quiere, las prohíbe, y por eso no eres fascista; quiere que todos sean iguales, y tú no lo eres. Pero la virtud inmaculada tampoco existe, o si existe es detestable.

• Over the millennia the seed of stories planted in the fertile soil of bits and scraps of facts was watered by wishes and began to take root and grow. Eventually, a bountiful fruit of rumors burst forth, to be spread on the wind of whispers that said we hid a fabled hoard of gold. Nothing could convince the believers that it was not true. The truth does not glitter for these people like gold does.

• I even think the commercial element of new American directors is really fertile right now. There are a lot of filmmakers with very particular visions, like Sofia Coppola and Wes Anderson and P.T. Anderson and Alexander Payne and Peter Sollett and Harmony Korine and Vincent Gallo. At least they're making films that they choose to make, and they're on their own. That's positive to me. This is not a dead period for American cinema at all.

• Yours is a race whose imagination is limited to its own small appetites. Greed, lust, envy - these are the motivating forces of humankind. What redeems you is that in every man and woman there is a seed that can grow to encompass love, joy and compassion. But this seed is never allowed to prosper in fertile ground. It struggles for life among the rocks of your human soul.

• Las montañas son fuentes de hombres al igual que de ríos, de glaciares, de tierra fértil. De las montañas han bajado los grandes poetas, filósofos, profetas, hombres capaces cuyos pensamientos y obras han conmovido al mundo, montañeses que se han hecho fuertes allí con los árboles del bosque en los talleres de la Naturaleza.

• Nuestros cuerpos son montones de basura: acumulamos experiencias, y de la descomposición de las cáscaras de huevo, hojas de espinaca, granos de café y viejos huesos de filete que desechamos de nuestras mentes salen nitrógeno, calor y una tierra muy fértil. De esta tierra fértil florecen nuestros poemas e historias. Pero esto no ocurre de repente. Se necesita tiempo. Continúa dando vueltas y vueltas a los detalles orgánicos de tu vida hasta que algunos de ellos caigan a través de la basura de los pensamientos discursivos a la tierra sólida del suelo negro.
