• Cualquiera que esté familiarizado con los numerosos relatos de la extraordinaria compasión y reverencia del Buda por los seres vivos -por ejemplo, su insistencia en que sus monjes colaran el agua que bebían para no causar inadvertidamente la muerte de ningún microorganismo- nunca podría creer que se mostrara indiferente ante el sufrimiento de los animales domésticos causado por el sacrificio de alimentos...".

• The moment of writing is not an escape...it is only an insistence, through the imagination, upon human ecstasy, and a reminder that such ecstasy remains as much a birthright in this world as misery remains a condition of it.

• ...Surely, we must renounce nationalism and all its symbols: its flags, its pledges of allegiance, its anthems, its insistence in song that God must single out America to be blessed.

• The insistence on complete certainty about the full details of global warming-the most serious threat we have ever faced-is actually an effort to avoid facing the awful, uncomfortable truth: that we must act boldly, decisively, comprehensively, and quickly, even before we know every last detail about the crisis. Those who continue to argue that the appropriate response is merely additional research are simply seeking to camouflage timidity or protect their vested interest in the status quo.

• Es fácil restar importancia a la insistencia en el respeto escrupuloso de las salvaguardias de las libertades civiles cuando se invoca en nombre de los indignos. Es demasiado fácil. La historia da testimonio de que con tal desprecio se extinguen los derechos de libertad, sin cuidado al principio, luego sigilosamente y descaradamente al final.

  Felix Frankfurter

• I've put live performance in a lot of spaces. Part of what I want to do is take over the takeover. Another way that someone put it is, you climb over the fence and you cut a hole in it, and let everyone else in. That's kind of what this is. The museum is a repository of great works, but there is certain work that no one ever calls great. This is an insistence on directing their attention to other stuff that's great, that never gets to be in a museum.

• What is that which can never die It is that faithful force that is born into us that one that is greater than us that calls new seed to the open and battered and barren places so that we can be resown. It is this force in its insistence in its loyalty to us in its love of us in its most often mysterious ways that is far greater far more majestic and far more ancient than any heretofore ever known.

  Clarissa Pinkola Estes

• Insistence on having a sexual orientation in sex is about defending the status quo, maintaining sex differences and the sexual hierarchy; whereas resistance to sexual orientation, regimentation is more about where we need to be going.

• Why is there such insistence that AGW has occurred and needs drastic solutions? This is a puzzle, but my short answer is that the IPCC has been built on the AGW proposition and of course keeps plugging it, whatever the data say. The IPCC has considerable clout. Most people shy off inspecting the evidence because it looks like science and must therefore be hard. The media have been captured by AGW (it makes for great stories), the environmental movement and the Greens love it, and business is reluctant to get involved.

• Poor human nature, what horrible crimes have been committed in thy name! Every fool, from king to policeman, from the flatheaded parson to the visionless dabbler in science, presumes to speak authoritatively of human nature. The greater the mental charlatan, the more definite his insistence on the wickedness and weaknesses of human nature.

• No sé qué puede haber comido el gato. Normalmente sé exactamente lo que ha comido el gato. No sólo se lo he dado de comer al gato, por insistencia del gato, sino que el gato lo ha vomitado sobre la alfombra, y alguien lo ha regado todo sobre la otra alfombra. No sé por qué los gatos vomitan habitualmente. No parece que lo disfruten, a juzgar por los sonidos que hacen mientras lo hacen. Es su naturaleza. Un perro ladra. Un gato vomita.

• A Call for Revolution, 1993 Libertarianism is rejected by the modern left - which preaches individualism but practices collectivism. Capitalism is rejected by the modern right - which preaches enterprise but practices protectionism. The libertarian faith in the mind of man is rejected by religionists who have faith only in the sins of man. . . . The libertarian insistence that each man is a sovereign land of liberty, with his primary allegiance to himself, is rejected by patriots who sing of freedom but also shout of banners and boundaries.

• Para mí, el coraje significa atravesar esa niebla gris y opaca que se cierne sobre la vida, no sólo por encima de las personas y las circunstancias, sino por encima de la tristeza de vivir. Una especie de insistencia en el valor de la vida y en el valor de las cosas pasajeras... Mi coraje es la fe -la fe en mi eterna resistencia- en que la alegría, la esperanza y la espontaneidad volverán. Y siento que hasta que eso ocurra, tengo que mantener los labios cerrados, la barbilla alta y los ojos bien abiertos...".
