• A eso equivale el amor verdadero: a dejar que una persona sea lo que realmente es....La mayoría de la gente te quiere por lo que finges ser....Para mantener su amor, sigues fingiendo, actuando. Es cierto, estamos encerrados en una imagen, en una actuación, y lo triste es que la gente se acostumbra tanto a su imagen que se encariña con sus máscaras. Les encantan sus cadenas. Se olvidan de quiénes son en realidad. Y si intentas recordárselo, te odian por ello, sienten que intentas robarles su posesión más preciada.

  Jim Morrison

• Auschwitz was one of the wealthiest places in the world. Everyone who was deported there had been in such a hurry that they were only able to take along the things they loved the most. Well, of course, a musician would take along her instrument. But then they would take these precious possessions away from the prisoners once they arrived. All these things were kept in a part of the camp the prisoners called "Canada." It was like a giant warehouse.

• On the way from the Renaissance to our days we have enriched our experience, but we have lost the concept of a Supreme Complete Entity which used to restrain our passions and our irresponsibility. We have placed too much hope in political and social reforms, only to find out that we were being deprived of our most precious possession: our spiritual life. In the East, it is destroyed by the dealings and machinations of the ruling party. In the West, commercial interests tend to suffocate it. This is the real crisis.

  Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
