• El pueblo de los Estados Unidos debe su Independencia y su libertad a la sabiduría de haber descrito, en el minúsculo impuesto de 3 peniques sobre el té, la magnitud del mal comprendido en el precedente. Que ejerzan la misma sabiduría, en la vigilancia contra todo mal que se esconde bajo disfraces plausibles, y que crece a partir de pequeños comienzos.

  James Madison

• La gente se ha vuelto temerosa del amor porque también en el amor penetra la muerte. Si dos amantes están sentados uno al lado del otro en profundo amor e intimidad, ni siquiera hablar.... Hablar es un escape, un escape del amor. Cuando dos amantes están hablando eso simplemente muestra que están evitando la intimidad. Sin palabras, la distancia desaparece y aparece la muerte. En el silencio acecha la muerte, un fenómeno hermoso. Pero la gente tiene tanto miedo que sigue hablando tanto si es necesario como si no. Hablan de cualquier cosa, de todo, pero no pueden callar.

  Rajneesh

• Siento que soy capaz de deshacerme de cualquier demonio que aceche en mi psique a través de mi escritura, lo que me deja libre para crear todo esto y disfrutar de nuestra vida familiar, alejándome de todos los traumas ficticios y los dramas. Si escribo sobre la familia en crisis, supongo que no tendré que vivirla.

• It seems to me that the thing that makes the theater worthwhile is the fact that it attracts so many people with ideas who are constantly trying to share them with the public. Real art is illumination. It gives a man an idea he never had before or lights up ideas that were formless or only lurking in the shadows of his mind. It adds stature to life.

  Brooks Atkinson

• Envíennos personas con iniciativa, que puedan cargarse a sí mismas y también a los demás; los que necesitan ser cargados obstaculizan el trabajo y debilitan a los que deberían gastar sus fuerzas en los paganos. A los débiles hay que cuidarlos en casa. Si alguno tiene celos, soberbia, o rasgos de hablador al acecho, no lo envíes, ni a ninguno que sea propenso a criticar. Envía sólo a Pauls y Timothys; hombres llenos de celo, santidad y poder. Todos los demás son obstáculos. Si nos envías diez hombres así, el trabajo estará hecho.

• Entonces, un día, pondremos la recompensa en el antiguo lugar, y pondremos la rata, y, por golloy, el viejo hábito se recordará enseguida. los hábitos nunca desaparecen realmente. Están codificados en las estructuras de nuestro cerebro, y eso es una gran ventaja para nosotros, porque sería horrible tener que volver a aprender a conducir después de cada vacaciones. El problema es que el cerebro no distingue entre hábitos buenos y malos, así que si tienes uno malo, siempre está ahí, esperando las señales y recompensas adecuadas.

• Mistrust is the fuel for so much mental pain, so many mental disorders. I am not talking here about the suspicions we sometimes have of one another, the distant but lurking sense that perhaps our lover lies to us, our best friend whispers behind our back. I am talking about a belief that betrayal inundates the atoms of the universe, is so woven into the workings of the world that every step is treacherous, and that below the rich mud lies a mine.

• Gel'fand amazed me by talking of mathematics as though it were poetry. He once said about a long paper bristling with formulas that it contained the vague beginnings of an idea which could only hint at and which he had never managed to bring out more clearly. I had always thought of mathematics as being much more straightforward: a formula is a formula, and an algebra is an algebra, but Gel'fand found hedgehogs lurking in the rows of his spectral sequences!

• A certain secret jealousy of the British Minister is always lurking in the breast of every American Senator, if he is truly democratic; for democracy, rightly understood, is the government of the people, by the people, for the benefit of Senators, and there is always a danger that the British Minister may not understand this political principle as he should.

• Perhaps I overemphasized the value of keeping busy.... I liked to imagine that I was incapable of doing nothing for afternoons myself, but maybe what disturbed me was that I was capable of it. I feared this was a knack one could get the hang of rather readily, and it was therefore now lurking in my house waiting for me to pick it up like a winter flu.

• Truth is what every man sees lurking at the bottom of his own soul, like the oyster shell housewives put in the kitchen kettle to collect the lime from the water. By and by each man's iridescent oyster shell of Truth becomes coated with the lime of prejudice and hearsay.

• My greatest fear is that the spirit of religion is lurking in so many churches today. Instead of men and women of God preaching about and applying Kingdom principles to everyday living, they have given the spirit of religion the power to cloud the path of others.

• My grief was a heavy, despairing sadness caused by parting from a companion of many years but, more important, it was a despair rooted in the fear that love did not exist, could not be
  found. And even if it were lurking somewhere, I might never know it in my lifetime. It had become hard for me to continue to believe in love's promise when everywhere I turned the
  enchantment of power of the terror of fear overshadowed the will to love.

• Whatever of goodness emanates from the soul, gathers its soft halo in the eyes; and if the heart be a lurking place of crime, the eyes are sure to betray the secret. A beautiful eye makes silence eloquent, a kind eye makes contradiction assent, an enraged eye makes beauty a deformity; so you see, forsooth, the little organ plays no inconsiderable, if not a dominant, part.
