• Once you have the View, although the delusory perceptions of samsara may arise in your mind, you will be like the sky; when a rainbow appears in front of it, it’s not particularly flattered, and when the clouds appear, it’s not particularly disappointed either. There is a deep sense of contentment. You chuckle from inside as you see the facade of samsara and nirvana; the View will keep you constantly amused, with a little inner smile bubbling away all the time.

• Una escritora islámica recuerda su alegría por la ropa que llevaba de joven a una boda: Siempre eran de hermosos colores brillantes: carmesí, rosa, turquesa, púrpura, y bordados con brillantes cristales, lentejuelas y cuentas. ... Las chicas mayores y las mujeres llevaban blusas de seda con pedrería y faldas largas como las de las princesas. Yo también quería llevar esa ropa de cuento de hadas. Deseaba aún más llevar el sari que las mujeres llevaban con tanta elegancia y que favorecía sus curvas.

• Los hombres que se han halagado a sí mismos con esta opinión de sus propias habilidades, desprecian a todos los que malgastan sus vidas con los libros, como una raza de seres inferiores condenados por la naturaleza a un perpetuo aprendizaje, y que se esfuerzan infructuosamente por remediar su esterilidad con un cultivo incesante, o por socorrer su debilidad con una fuerza subsidiaria. Presumen que nadie sería más laborioso que ellos, si no fueran más conscientes de sus deficiencias; y concluyen fácilmente que quien no confía en sus propias facultades debe su modestia sólo a su debilidad.

• It does good to no woman to be flattered [by a man] who does not intend to marry her; and it is madness in all women to let a secret love kindle within them, which, if unreturned and unknown, must devour the life that feeds it; and, if discovered and responded to, must lead, ignis-fatuus-like, into miry wilds whence there is no extrication.

• To-day we live so cowed under the bombardment of this intellectual artillery that hardly anyone can attain to the inward detachment that is required for a clear view of the monstrous drama. The will-to-power operating under a pure democratic disguise has finished off its masterpiece so well that the object's sense of freedom is actually flattered by the most thorough-going enslavement that has ever existed.
