• Una lengua muerta no es sólo una lengua que ya no se habla ni se escribe, es una lengua inflexible que se contenta con admirar su propia parálisis. Como el lenguaje estatista, censurado y censurador. Implacable en sus tareas policiales, no tiene otro deseo ni propósito que mantener el campo libre de su propio narcisismo narcótico, su propia exclusividad y dominio. Aunque moribundo, no carece de efecto, ya que frustra activamente el intelecto, paraliza la conciencia, suprime el potencial humano. Poco receptivo al interrogatorio, no puede formar ni tolerar nuevas ideas, dar forma a otros pensamientos, contar otra historia, llenar silencios desconcertantes.

• What inspires me is the power of human potential... the human potential to evolve in our lives, and for profound healing. It's always been there but it's become somewhat obscure to us given the stressful, fast-paced modern culture in which we live. I'm also inspired by how miraculous some of the simplest and most natural aspects of life can be the greatest sources of healing and transformation.
