• The only life worth living is the adventurous life. Of such a life the dominant characteristic is that it is unafraid. If is unafraid of what other people think . . . It does not adapt either its pace or its objectives to the pace and objectives of its neighbors. It thinks its own thoughts, it reads its own books, it developed its own hobbies, and it is governed by its own conscience. The herd may graze where it pleases or stampede where it pleases, but he who lives the adventurous life will remain unafraid when he finds himself alone.

• If you are obsessively active, please at least pause to ask yourself why and to listen for the answer from the still, quiet voice alive and well within you. I don't have an answer for the hurry sickness afflicting our society and our souls. But I do trust that the how-to-stop-it is within you, and you can change your pace if you want to.

• The living always think that monsters roar and gnash their teeth. But I've seen that real monsters can be friendly; they can smile, and they can say please and thank you like everyone else. Real monsters can appear to be kind. Sometimes they can be inside us.

• My life is about my journey, and your life is about your journey. You are completely unqualified to draw my map, and I am completely unqualified to draw yours. I hope you'll let me know all about the path you've found, so that I may judge it for myself against my own path, and have the freedom to choose between the two. But please don't try and drag me from my path on to yours, and I will be sure to return the favor.

• Las posesiones que Dios nos permite tener están destinadas a nuestro uso, no a nuestro disfrute. Tratar de sacarles algo que nunca tuvieron es un esfuerzo inútil. Las ubres de una vaca, presionadas suavemente, producirán leche dulce, nutritiva y refrescante. Aplicar más y más presión no producirá mayores cantidades de leche. Perdemos lo bueno de las cosas materiales por esperar demasiado de ellas. Los que más se esfuerzan por complacerse con los bienes terrenales son los que menos satisfacción encuentran en ellos.

• Si hay algo que tienes que hacer, resiste la tentación de hacerlo bajo coacción. Pregúntate: "¿Qué es lo peor que pasaría si no hiciera esto?". Y si puedes salirte con la tuya sin hacerlo, no lo hagas. Y luego imagina cómo te sentirías si lo hicieras. Dedica un día o dos, si puedes, sólo 15 minutos aquí, 5 minutos aquí, 2 minutos aquí, aquí y aquí, ¡imaginándolo terminado de una forma que te complazca! Y entonces, la próxima vez que decidas actuar al respecto, la acción será mucho más fácil.

• Opening a play is just tough. The idea that actors are weirdly protected from it is a myth. If you imagine yourself having to spend two and a bit hours cooking bolognaise, remembering a whole major work by David Hare and speaking it at the correct moment between chopping carrots and stirring the onions in front of an audience - the normal human response is 'Please, can I go to the airport?'

• La sátira es a la vez la más agradable y la más peligrosa de las cualidades mentales. Siempre agrada cuando es refinada, pero siempre tememos a aquellos que la usan demasiado; sin embargo, la sátira debe permitirse cuando no está mezclada con rencor, y cuando la persona satirizada puede unirse a la sátira.
