• La característica más constante de los maestros despiertos y de las personas que he conocido es su naturaleza infantil. Ríen, lloran, centellean y bromean, todo con una espontaneidad nacida de la libertad. Sus rostros son fluidos y reflejan una dulzura atemporal, incluso en la vejez.

• La sociedad es una ilusión para el joven ciudadano. Está ante él en rígido reposo, con ciertos nombres, hombres e instituciones, arraigados como robles al centro, alrededor de los cuales todos se organizan lo mejor que pueden. Pero el viejo estadista sabe que la sociedad es fluida; no hay tales raíces y centros; pero cualquier partícula puede convertirse repentinamente en el centro del movimiento, y obligar al sistema a girar a su alrededor, como todo hombre de fuerte voluntad, como Pisístrato, o Cromwell, lo hace por un tiempo, y todo hombre de verdad, como Plato, o Pablo, lo hace para siempre.

• Es una idea maliciosa la de que hemos llegado tarde a la naturaleza; que el mundo se terminó hace mucho tiempo. Así como el mundo era plástico y fluido en las manos de Dios, así lo es siempre para la mayor parte de sus atributos que nosotros le aportamos. Para la ignorancia y el pecado, es pedernal. Se adaptan a él como pueden; pero en la medida en que un hombre tiene algo divino en él, el firmamento fluye ante él y toma su sello y forma.

• Too much horsing around with unrealistic stances and classic forms and rituals is just too artificial and mechanical, and doesn't really prepare the student for actual combat. A guy could get clobbered while getting into this classical mess. Classical methods like these, which I consider a form of paralysis, only solidify and constrain what was once fluid. Their practitioners are merely blindly rehearsing routines and stunts that will lead nowhere.

• There is an endorphin rush that comes when you puke. It's kind of like a runners wall. Once you cross that wall, once you cross that party wall and you puke, you do get a rush. There are good chemicals there. And also, you've made more room in your gut, in your stomach, in your gullet for more content, whether it be fluids or foods.

• You have to be like a sponge and use what you can and how it relates because TV is fluid. Things change on a week-to-week basis. Those are the things that I do with every character. If I'm involved in a boxing movie, I go see fights and learn about boxing. It's part of what we do.

• Usually, you get a script and you have the whole story. All the acts are there, for a play. You know what happens in the first, second and third acts, and you know how it starts, where you go and where it finishes. [With American Horror Story: Asylum], it's a whole new experience. I don't know where it's going, and I don't know what's going to happen next. It's been an interesting way to work. It's made me work in a much more fluid, braver way, just taking every chance that comes along.

• School systems should base their curriculum not on the idea of separate subjects, but on the much more fertile idea of disciplines... which makes possible a fluid and dynamic curriculum that is interdisciplinary.

• Flow systems have two basic features (properties). There is the current that is flowing (for example, fluid, heat, mass, or information) and the design through which it flows.

• Anytime that is ‘betwixt and between’ or transitional is the faeries’ favorite time. They inhabit transitional spaces: the bottom of the garden, existing in a space between manmade cultivation and wilderness. Look for them in the space between nurture and nature, they are to be found at all boarders and boundaries, or on the edges of water where it is neither land nor lake, neither path nor pond. They come when we are half-asleep. They come at moments when we least expect them; when our rational mind balances with the fluid irrational.

• Perhaps all women are part faerie, for what woman can deny her faerie blood when the portals to her own land are open; when the full moon sings its insistent song; when sorrow and passion and rage pulse through her body at moon times. This is why women are the chosen ones of Faerie, pat of the vibrant, fluid, emotional soul of the world.

• La psiquiatría es una ciencia joven. El loco de ayer puede ser el genio de mañana. Beethoven y Van Gogh estaban un poco locos. En mi opinión, la mayoría de los locos son notables. Son exploradores, viajeros más allá del borde de la conciencia. No es de extrañar que cojan algunos bichos y enfermen. Eso es todo lo que es, la locura. Loco sólo significa enfermo. Si tienes líquido en los pulmones es pleuresía. Si es líquido en el cerebro, es locura.

• Self-loathing and self-worship can easily be the same thing. You hate the small sack of fluids and resentments that you are, and you would go to any length, and betray anything and anyone, to preserve it.

• I couldn't help but think, as I watched him, of the barrels of toxic fluids that had accrued behind Hal's bike shop where the scrub lining the railroad tracks had offered local companies enough cover to dump a stray contaner or two. Everything had been sealed up, but things were beginning to leak out. I had come to both pity and respect Len in the years since my mother left. He followed the physical to try to understand things that were impossible to comphrehend. In that, I could see, he was like me.

• In my lame pescetarian defense, it's very hard to be a girl and say you won't eat something. Refuse one plate of bacon-wrapped pork rinds and you're anorexic. Accept them and you're on the Atkins. Excuse yourself to go to the bathroom and you're bulimic. Best to keep perfectly still and bring an IV of fluids with you to dinner.

• I'm always wondering if he'll return. Sometimes I pray that he doesn't. And sometimes I hope he will. I wish on falling stars and eyelashes. Absence isn't solid the way death is. It's fluid, like language. And it hurts so much...so, so much.
