• La piedad practicada en la soledad, como la flor que florece en el desierto, puede dar su fragancia a los vientos del cielo, y deleitar a aquellos espíritus incorpóreos que observan las obras de Dios y las acciones de los hombres; pero no otorga ninguna ayuda a los seres terrenales, y aunque esté libre de manchas de impureza, sin embargo carece del sagrado esplendor de la beneficencia.

  Samuel Johnson

• Being the Stream Meditation is not just a rest or retreat from the turmoil of the stream or the impurity of the world. It is a way of being the stream, so that one can be at home in both the white water and the eddies. Meditation may take one out of the world, but it also puts one totally into it.

  Gary Snyder

• The pride of ancestry is a superstructure of the most imposing height, but resting on the most flimsy foundation. It is ridiculous enough to observe the hauteur with which the old nobility look down on the new. The reason of this puzzled me a little, until I began to reflect that most titles are respectable only because they are old; if new, they would be despised, because all those who now admire the grandeur of the stream would see nothing but the impurity of the source.

• I use colors that have already been experienced through the light of day and through the state of mind of the total man. In other words, my colors are not colors that are laboratory tools which are isolated from all accidentals or impurities so that they have a specified identity or purity.

• La elección de un diputado a la Asamblea Legislativa ofrece un espectáculo noble y majestuoso sólo comparable al alumbramiento de un niño. Implica los mismos esfuerzos, las mismas impurezas, la misma laceración y el mismo triunfo.

• El verdadero conocimiento es una virtud de los talentosos, pero perjudicial para los que carecen de discernimiento. El agua de manantial libre de impurezas, al entrar en el océano, se vuelve imbebible.

• Dreams are imperfections of sleep; even so is consciousness the imperfection of waking. Dreams are impurities in the circulation of the blood; even so it's consciousness a disorder of life. Dreams are without proportion, without good sense, without truth; so also is consciousness. Awake from dream, the truth is known: awake from waking. The truth is: The Unknown

• writing is like being in love. You never get better at it or learn more about it. The day you think you do is the day you lose it. Robert Frost called his work a lover's quarrel with the world. It's ongoing. It has neither a beginning nor an end. You don't have to worry about learning things. The fire of one's art burns all the impurities from the vessel that contains it.

• So you begin to wonder if Leonia's true passion is really, as they say, the enjoyment of new and different things, and not, instead, the joy of expelling, discarding, cleansing itself of a recurrent impurity.

• when the sky is as grey as this - impeccably grey, a denial, really of the very concept of colour - and the stooped millions lift their heads, it's hard to tell the air from the impurities in our human eyes, as if the sinking climbing paisley curlicues of grit were part of the element itself, rain, spores, tears, film, dirt. Perhaps, at such moments, the sky is no more then the sum of the dirt that lives in our human eyes.

• 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.

• Self-determination has to mean that the leader is your individual gut, and heart, and mind or we're talking about power, again, and its rather well-known impurities. Who is really going to care whether you live or die and who is going to know the most intimate motivation for your laughter and your tears is the only person to be trusted to speak for you and to decide what you will or will not do.

• Offerings to propitiate the dead then were regarded as belonging to the class of funeral sacrifices, and these are idolatry. Idolatry, in fact, is a sort of homage to the departed, the one as well as the other is a service to dead men. Moreover, demons dwell in the images of the dead. ... this sort of exhibition has passed from honors of the dead to honors of the living; I mean, to quaestorships [financial overseers]and magistractes, to priestly offices of different kinds. Yet, since idolatry still cleaves to the dignity's name, whatever is done in its name partakes of its impurity.

• The motive for purifying yourself - that you feel spiritually impure - will prevent any genuine gain until you learn to love the impurity you started with. Can any being seriously think that he is going to pass through the infinity of time without ever making another mistake? Quite often a flash of enlightenment will give you this message: Go back to where you started and learn to love it more.
