• Still everyone, including the abbot, had said that he was running away from his grief. They'd had no idea what they were talking about. He'd cradled his grief, almost to the point of loving it. For so long he refused to give it up, because leaving it behind was like leaving her.

  Sue Monk Kidd

• Pero unos pocos que decidieron adentrarse en los dolorosos pasillos de su aflicción, descubrieron al cabo de un tiempo que ahora podían esmerilar y pulir superficies cada vez más exóticas, hiperboloidales e incluso más extrañas, incluyendo finalmente lo que debemos denominar formas "imaginarias" (que algunos preferían llamar invisibles).

• Perhaps you are thinking: 'But a tank costs several million dollars, not including floor mats. I don't have that kind of money.' Don't be silly. You're a consumer, right? You have credit cards, right? Perhaps you are thinking: 'Yes, but how am I going to pay the credit-card company?' Don't be silly. You have a tank, right?

• I know that most men, including those at ease with problems of the greatest complexity, can seldom accept even the simplest and most obvious truth if it be such as would oblige them to admit the falsity of conclusions which they have delighted in explaining to colleagues, which they have proudly taught to others, and which they have woven, thread by thread, into the fabric of their lives.

• La integridad está en el corazón del comercio en el mundo en que vivimos. La honradez y la integridad constituyen los cimientos mismos de la sociedad..... De hecho, la fuerza y la seguridad de cualquier organización -incluida la familia- residen en la integridad de sus miembros. Sin integridad personal, no puede haber confianza. Sin confianza, no puede haber perspectivas de éxito permanente.

  Gordon B. Hinckley

• Lo importante es que no puedes albergar malicia hacia los demás y luego poner el grito en el cielo cuando alguien muestra intolerancia contra ti. El prejuicio tolerado es intolerancia fomentada. Levántate con rectitud cuando seas testigo de las palabras y los actos de odio, pero sólo si estás dispuesto a levantarte contra todos ellos, incluidos los tuyos. De lo contrario, sufre en silencio las hondas y flechas de la falta de respeto.

  Harvey Fierstein

• Por ejemplo, el viento tiene sus razones. Simplemente no nos damos cuenta mientras vivimos. Pero entonces, en algún momento, se nos hace notar. El viento te envuelve con un propósito determinado, y te mece. El viento sabe todo lo que hay dentro de ti. Y no sólo el viento. Todo, incluso una piedra. Todas nos conocen muy bien. De arriba abajo. Sólo se nos ocurre en ciertos momentos. Y lo único que podemos hacer es dejarnos llevar por esas cosas. A medida que las asimilamos, sobrevivimos y profundizamos.

• I think as far as the adverse impact on the nation around the world, this administration has been the worst in history... The overt reversal of America's basic values as expressed by previous administrations, including those of George H.W. Bush and Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon and others, has been the most disturbing to me.

• We all dream dreams of unity, of purity; we all dream that there's an authoritative voice out there that will explain things, including ourselves. If it wasn't for our longing for these things, I doubt the novel or the short story would exist in its current form. I'm not going to say much more on the topic. Just remember: In dictatorships, only one person is really allowed to speak. And when I write a book or a story, I too am the only one speaking, no matter how I hide behind my characters.

• What we can and should change is ourselves: our impatience, our egoism (including intellectual egoism), our sense of injury, our lack of love and forbearance. I regard every other attempt to change the world, even if it springs from the best intentions, as futile.

• Every one of Joel's important songs--including the happy ones--are ultimately about loneliness. And it's not 'clever lonely' (like Morrissey) or 'interesting lonely' (like Radiohead); it's 'lonely lonely,' like the way it feels when you're being hugged by someone and it somehow makes you sadder.

• A choir is made up of many voices, including yours and mine. If one by one all go silent then all that will be left are the soloists. Don’t let a loud few determine the nature of the sound. It makes for poor harmony and diminishes the song.

• Para vivir, el hombre debe actuar; para actuar, debe elegir; para elegir, debe definir un código de valores; para definir un código de valores, debe saber qué es y dónde está, es decir, debe conocer su propia naturaleza (incluidos sus medios de conocimiento) y la naturaleza del universo en el que actúa, es decir, necesita metafísica, epistemología, ética, lo que significa: filosofía. No puede escapar a esta necesidad; su única alternativa es que la filosofía que le guíe sea elegida por su mente o por azar.

• A writer - and, I believe, generally all persons - must think that whatever happens to him or her is a resource. All things have been given to us for a purpose, and an artist must feel this more intensely. All that happens to us, including our humiliations, our misfortunes, our embarrassments, all is given to us as raw material, as clay, so that we may shape our art.
