• La moda es primitiva en su insistencia en el exhibicionismo, que se marchita en el aislamiento. El desfile de pasarela, con su incandescente bombo y platillo, es su apoteosis. Es una versión industrializada de los festivales paganos de renovación, una reunión ritual de entendidos y mimados en un desfile iluminado de pulcritud elegante. Al final de cada despliegue estacional, se encomienda a un sacerdocio que lleve a las masas las noticias de los presagios.

• The psychoanalysis of individual human beings, however, teaches us with quite special insistence that the god of each of them is formed in the likeness of his father, that his personal relation to God depends on his relation to his father in the flesh and oscillates and changes along with that relation, and that at bottom God is nothing other than an exalted father.

• Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men's blood and probably themselves will not be realized. Make big plans; aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will never die, but long after we are gone be a living thing, asserting itself with ever-growing insistency.

• If the mind wants to comprehend reality, it will have to come out of the past and the future. But coming out of the past and the future, it is no longer the mind at all. Hence the insistence of all the great masters of the world that the door to reality is no-mind.

• The certain pathway to all things that you want is through the corridor of joy. Most of you say, 'When I get that I will be joyful.' And we say, until you are joyful, you will not get that. You must start with the decision-with the determination-with the insistence that, 'I will not settle for less than feeling good.'

  Esther Hicks

• In every crisis, if you look carefully, you will spot an opportunity. My insistence is on finding and seizing that opportunity. I never try to side-step a crisis. Rather, the more monstrous the crises, the more I am tempted to rush at it, grasp it by the horns and man-oeuvre it until it gives me what I want

• What gives life meaning is a form of rebellion, rebellion against reason, an insistence on believing passionately what we cannot believe rationally. The meaning of life is to be found in passion—romantic passion, religious passion, passion for work and for play, passionate commitments in the face of what reason knows to be meaningless.

• The sad end he met in Afghanistan was more accurately a function of his stubborn idealism - his insistence on trying to do the right thing. In which case it wasn't a tragic flaw that brought Tillman down, but a tragic virtue.

• Los estadounidenses saben que una alianza fuerte de naciones libres, soberanas e independientes es la mejor defensa de nuestras libertades y de nuestros intereses. Por eso mi administración ha exigido que todos los miembros de la OTAN cumplan por fin con sus obligaciones financieras de forma íntegra y justa. Gracias a esta insistencia, han empezado a llegar a la OTAN miles de millones de dólares más. De hecho, la gente está escandalizada. Pero miles y miles de millones de dólares más procedentes de países que, en mi opinión, no habrían pagado tan rápidamente.

• Ninguno de nosotros debería avergonzarse de hablar de su poder de clase o de la falta del mismo. Superar el miedo, incluso el miedo a ser inmodesto, y actuar con valentía para introducir las cuestiones de clase -especialmente los puntos de vista radicales- en el discurso de la negritud es un gesto de desafío militante, que va en contra de la insistencia burguesa en que pensemos en el "dinero" en particular y en la clase en general como asuntos privados.

• We who feel that justice is not being done have but one thing to do: that is fight, by argument, by example, by insistence on fair play wherever we have the power to do so. The rest is in the hands of the Lord, or nature, which swings, apparently, from one extreme to another.

• Because everybody who has ever lost their way in life has felt the nagging insistence of that question. At some point we all look up and realize we are lost in a maze, and I dont want us to forget Alaska, and I don't want to forget that even when the material we study seems boring, we're trying to und3erstand how people answered that question and the question each of you posed in your papers--how different traditions have come to terms with what Chip, in his final, called 'people's rotten lots in life.

• The EU must be able to act with the speed and flexibility of a network, not the cumbersome rigidity of a bloc. We must not be weighed down by an insistence on a one size fits all approach which implies that all countries want the same level of integration. The fact is that they don't and we shouldn't assert that they do.
