• It's easy for us to feel separate from other people and from other forms of life, especially if we don't have a reliable connection to our own inner world. Without insight into our internal cycles of pleasure and pain, desires and fears, there is a strong sense of being removed, apart or disconnected. When we do have an understanding of our inner lives, it provides an intuitive opening, even without words, to the ties that exist between ourselves and others.

• Some authors state that the last stage in this chain of measurements involves "consciousness," or the "intellectual inner life" of the observer, by virtue of the "principle of psycho-physical parallelism."

• All I’ve ever done is dream. That, and only that, has been the meaning of my existence. The only thing I’ve ever really cared about is my inner life. My greatest griefs faded to nothing the moment I opened the window onto my inner self and lost myself in watching. I never tried to be anything other than a dreamer. I never paid any attention to people who told me to go out and live. I belonged always to whatever was far from me and to whatever I could never be. Anything that was not mine, however base, always seemed to be full of poetry. The only thing I ever loved was pure nothingness.

  Fernando Pessoa

• He who floats with the current, who does not guide himself according to higher principles, who has no ideal, no convictions-such a man is . . . a thing moved, instead of a living and moving being-an echo, not a voice. The man who has no inner-life is a slave of his surroundings as the barometer is the obedient servant of the air.

  Henri Frederic Amiel

  Poderoso, Conmovedor, Hombres

• No hacer nada por los demás es la perdición de uno mismo. Debemos ser amables y generosos a propósito, o nos perderemos lo mejor de la existencia. El corazón que sale de sí mismo, se engrandece y se llena de alegría. Este es el gran secreto de la vida interior. Nos hacemos el mayor bien a nosotros mismos haciendo algo por los demás.

  Horace Mann

• Felizmente, y gracias a Dios, hay orificios por los que nuestra vida interior se escapa constantemente, y el alma, como la sangre, tiene sus poros. La boca es el principal y más importante de estos canales que conducen el alma fuera de su santuario invisible; es por el habla que el hombre comunica la conversación secreta que es su verdadera vida.

  Jean-Baptiste Henri Lacordaire

• La interpretación televisiva es tan extremadamente íntima, debido a la peculiar implicación del espectador con la finalización o "cierre" de la imagen televisiva, que el actor debe alcanzar un gran grado de desenfado espontáneo que sería irrelevante en el cine y se perdería en el escenario. Porque el público participa en la vida interior del actor de TV tan plenamente como en la vida exterior de la estrella de cine. Técnicamente, la televisión tiende a ser un medio de primeros planos. El primer plano que en el cine se utiliza para impactar es, en televisión, algo bastante casual.

  Marshall McLuhan

• La guerra de Vonnegut era necesaria. Y, sin embargo, era masacre y gritos y confusión y sangre y muerte. Era la gigantesca proyección al exterior de la confusa vida interior de los hombres. En la guerra, las tristes y ordenadas construcciones que hacemos para ayudarnos a creer que la vida es ordenada y controlable se desechan bruscamente como los delirios que son. En la guerra, el amor se revela como una emoción insana e insoportable, una especie de emoción de lujo, porque mires donde mires, alguien querido por alguien está siendo masacrado, por alguien cuyo propio ser querido ha sido masacrado, o lo será, o podría serlo.

  George Saunders
