• There's too much darkness in the world. Everywhere you turn, someone is tryin' to tear someone down in some way; everywhere you go, there's a feeling of inadequacy, or a feeling that you're not good enough. I want to bring a certain light to the world.

  Alicia Keys

• Finalmente, con pesar, dejé la vida religiosa y, una vez liberado de la carga del fracaso y la insuficiencia, sentí que mi creencia en Dios se desvanecía silenciosamente. En realidad, nunca había influido en mi vida, aunque había hecho todo lo posible para que lo hiciera. Ahora que ya no me sentía tan culpable y angustiado por él, me resultaba demasiado lejano para ser una realidad.

• The myth of the self-sufficient individual and of the self-sufficient, protected, and protective familytells us that those who need help are ultimately inadequate. And it tells us that for a family to need help--or at least to admit it publicly--is to confess failure. Similarly, to give help, however generously, is to acknowledge the inadequacy of the recipients and indirectly to condemn them, to stigmatize them, and even to weaken what impulse they have toward self-sufficiency.

• The great difficulty is first to win a reputation; the next to keep it while you live; and the next to preserve it after you die, when affection and interest are over, and nothing but sterling excellence can preserve your name. Never suffer youth to be an excuse for inadequacy, nor age and fame to be an excuse for indolence.

• El dinero forma parte de cómo nos movemos por el mundo, en qué tiendas y restaurantes entramos, si cogemos un tren para ir al aeropuerto o un taxi. Describir a personajes que viven en el mundo real exige describirlos en relación con el dinero. El dinero también tiene muchos aspectos emocionales: sentimientos de insuficiencia, de seguridad. No estoy seguro de que sea necesario hablar más del dinero en la ficción, pero la ausencia de este aspecto puede hacer que una historia parezca en cierto modo sin fricción e irreal.

• ... each gratification points to the ultimate one, and that all happiness has some connection with eternal beatitude. Some connection, if only this: that every fulfillment this side of Heaven instantly reveals its inadequacy. It is immediately evident that such satisfactions are not enough; they are not what we have really sought; they cannot really satisfy us at all.

• ... there are those who believe that mathematics can sustain itself and grow without any further contact with anything outside itself, and those who believe that nature is still and always will be one of the main (if not the main) sources of mathematical inspiration.

• It is not his business to argue men into faith, for that cannot be done; but it is his business to demonstrate the intellectual adequacy of the biblical faith and the comparative inadequacy of its rivals, and to show the invalidity of the criticisms that are brought against it. This he seeks to do, not from any motive of intellectual self-justification, but for the glory of God and His gospel.
