• Es curioso lo que nos está pasando. Nuestras vidas se han vuelto digitales. Nuestros amigos, ahora virtuales. Y, cualquier cosa que quieras saber está a un clic de distancia. Experimentar el mundo a través de información de segunda mano no es suficiente. Si queremos autenticidad tenemos que iniciarla. Nunca conoceremos todo nuestro potencial a menos que nos empujemos a encontrarlo. Es este autodescubrimiento lo que inevitablemente nos lleva a los lugares más salvajes del planeta.

• Our aim in education is to give a full life. We owe it to them to initiate an immense number of interests. Life should be all living, and not merely a tedious passing of time; not all doing or all feeling or all thinking - the strain would be too great - but, all living; that is to say, we should be in touch wherever we go, whatever we hear, whatever we see, with some manner of vital interest.

• No conozco a nadie que haya descrito ese terrible anhelo de éxtasis e inmolación a través de la música con tanta lucidez como Sean Madigan Hoen en Songs Only You Know. Sólo un profundo conocedor de la escena que además tuviera cierto genio con el lenguaje podría reunir la voz demótica y a la vez eléctrica para el trabajo. Si ahora se lamenta por la forma en que trató a su cuerpo, a sus novias y a su familia, en su libro retoma sabiamente, con detalles de neón, la fiebre que una vez le situó en el mismo barco de borrachos que Iggy Pop, Rimbaud y Artaud.

• Power is the basic energy needed to initiate and sustain action or, to put it another way, the capacity to translate intention into reality and sustain it. Leadership is the wise use of this power: Transformative leadership.

• Mayores, jóvenes, cualquiera puede ayudar. Hemos aprendido que nuestros legisladores escuchan, y que las personas con preocupaciones apasionadas y reflexivas marcan la diferencia cada día. Nuestros electores han propuesto leyes, han presionado para que se aprueben, han organizado reuniones y actos y, por supuesto, han llamado, enviado correos, enviado correos electrónicos y visitado a los legisladores para expresar sus opiniones. Es realmente fantástico ver la diferencia que pueden marcar los individuos.

• Unicef's education initiative does not seek to impose, but to initiate and integrate. It does, however, aim to address the huge bias towards education for boys at the expense of girls in so many cultures.

• El hecho de que no existan límites a la capacidad destructiva de esta arma [la "Súper", es decir, la bomba de hidrógeno] convierte su propia existencia y el conocimiento de su construcción en un peligro para la humanidad en su conjunto. Se trata necesariamente de algo maligno considerado desde cualquier punto de vista. Por estas razones, creemos que es importante que el Presidente de los Estados Unidos diga al público americano y al mundo lo que pensamos que es erróneo desde el punto de vista de los principios éticos fundamentales iniciar el desarrollo de tal arma.

  Enrico Fermi

• Las investigaciones confirman que tanto las mujeres republicanas como las demócratas son más propensas que sus homólogos masculinos a iniciar y luchar por proyectos de ley que defiendan la justicia social, protejan el medio ambiente, aboguen por las familias y promuevan la resolución no violenta de conflictos.

• He was a physicist, more precisely an astrophysicist, diligent and eager but without illusions: the Truth lay beyond, inaccessible to our telescopes, accessible to the initiates. This was a long road which he was traveling with effort, wonderment, and profound joy. Physics was prose: elegant gymnastics for the mind, mirror of Creation, the key to man's dominion over the planet; but what is the stature of Creation, of man and the planet? His road was long and he had barely started up it, but I was his disciple: did I want to follow him?

• We choose--or choose not--to be alone when we decide whom we will accept as our fellows, and whom we will reject. Thus an eremite in a mountain is in company, because the birds and coneys, the initiates whose words live in his 'forest books,' and the winds--the messengers of the Increate--are his companions. Another man, living in the midst of millions, may be alone, because there are none but enemies and victims around him.

  Gene Wolfe

• La consecuencia necesaria del derecho del hombre a la vida es su derecho a la autodefensa. En una sociedad civilizada, la fuerza sólo puede usarse como represalia y sólo contra aquellos que inician su uso. Todas las razones que hacen que la iniciación de la fuerza física sea un mal, hacen que el uso de la fuerza física como represalia sea un imperativo moral. Si alguna sociedad "pacifista" renunciara al uso de la fuerza como represalia, quedaría indefensa a merced del primer matón que decidiera ser inmoral. Una sociedad así conseguiría lo contrario de lo que pretende: en lugar de abolir el mal, lo fomentaría y recompensaría.

• Science fiction is a dialogue, a tennis match, in which the Idea is volleyed from one side of the net to the other. Ridiculous to say that someone 'stole' an idea: no, no, a thousand times no. The point is the volley, and how it's carried, and what statement is made by the answering 'statement.' In other words — if Burroughs initiates a time-gate and says it works randomly, and then Norton has time gates confounded with the Perilous Seat, the Siege Perilous of the Round Table, and locates it in a bar on a rainy night — do you see both the humor and the volley in the tennis match?

• Because love is the great commandment, it ought to be at the center of all and everything we do in our own family, in our Church callings, and in our livelihood. Love is the healing balm that repairs rifts in personal and family relationships. It is the bond that unites families, communities, and nations. Love is the power that initiates friendship, tolerance, civility, and respect. It is the source that overcomes divisiveness and hate. Love is the fire that warms our lives with unparalleled joy and divine hope. Love should be our walk and our talk.

  Dieter F. Uchtdorf

• Pain is not wrong. Reacting to pain as wrong initiates the trance of unworthiness. The moment we believe something is wrong, our world shrinks and we lose ourselves in the effort to combat the pain.

• Do not imagine that art or anything else is other than high magic! - is a system of holy hieroglyph. The artist, the initiate, thus frames his mysteries. The rest of the world scoff, or seek to understand, or pretend to understand; some few obtain the truth.

• We're silent now, both waiting, till I remind myself that I'm the older one and should therefore initiate conversation. But I don't. I don't want to waste this girl with idle chitchat. She's beautiful.

• All [Sadie’s] previous attempts [of making a shabti (an Egyptian avatar of one’s self)] had exploded or gone haywire, terrorizing Khufu and the initiates. Last week she’d created a magical Thermos with googly eyes that levitated around the room, yelling, “Exterminate! Exterminate!” until it smacked me in the head.

• Los científicos dicen que toda acción inicia una reacción igual y opuesta. Yo digo que eso es sólo el principio. Yo digo que cada acción inicia una reacción en cadena de lo más desigual e impredecible, que cada filamento de vida se convierte en parte de un tejido mayor, sin dejar de ser identificable. Que cada línea de latitud requiere varias franjas de longitud para obtener sentido. Que cada universo forma parte de un cielo mayor, un cielo de ritmo y geometría, donde un latido es el vértice de un triángulo.

• Did you ever meet someone named Caleb?" I say. 'Caleb," Fernando says. "Yes, there was a Caleb in my initiate class. Brilliant, but he was... what's the colloquial term for it? A suck-up." he smirks.

• In our hearts... there must abide some pity for those people who have always felt themselves to be separate from even their most familiar surroundings, those people who either are foreigners or who suffer a singular point of view that makes them feel as if they’re foreigners - even in their native lands. In our hearts... there also abides a certain suspicion that such people need to feel set apart from their society. But people who initiate loneliness are no less lonely than those who are suddenly surprised by loneliness, nor are they undeserving of our pity.

  John Irving

• Do you know him well?" I ask.I am too curious; I always have been. "Everyone knows Four," she says. "We were initiates together.I was bad at fighting,so he taught me every night after everyone was asleep." She scratches the back of her neck, her expression suddenly serious. "Nice of him." She gets up and stands behind the members sitting in the doorway. In a second, her serious expression is gone,but I still feel rattled by what she said, half confused by the idea of Four being "nice" and half wanting to punch her for no apparent reason.

  Veronica Roth

• Normally my sister, Sadie, or some of our other initiates from Brooklyn House would've come with me. But they were all at the First Nome, in Egypt, for a weeklong training session on controlling cheese demons(yes, they're a real thing; believe me, you don't want to know)
