• There was no hope for any kind of big opportunity. I'm not saying it was hopeless. The big pay-off was to work as an artist and gain some shred of respect from your friends, who were also artists. But there was never any notion that you could make a living out of art. On the rare occasions you had a gallery show, and sold a little work, well, that was just gravy.

• I am not greedy. I do not seek to possess the major portion of your days. I am content if, on those rare occasions whose truth can be stated only by poetry, you will, perhaps, recall an image, even only the aura of my films.

• In the homes of many Western Christians, hours are sometimes spent listening to worldly music. In our homes loud music can also be heard, but it is only to cover the talk about the gospel and the underground work so that neighbors may not overhear it and inform the secret police. How underground Christians rejoice on those rare occasions when they meet a serious Christian from the West!

• In really hard times the rules of the game are altered. The inchoate mass begins to stir. It becomes potent, and when it strikes, it strikes with incredible emphasis. Those are the rare occasions when a national will emerges from the scattered, specialized, or indifferent blocs of voters who ordinarily elect the politicians. Those are for good or evil the great occasions in a nation's history.

• As soon as I suspect a fine effect is being achieved by accident I lose interest. I am not interested...in unskilled labor. ...The scientific actor is an even worker. Any one may achieve on some rare occasion an outburst of genuine feeling, a gesture of imperishable beauty, a ringing accent of truth; but your scientific actor knows how he did it. He can repeat it again and again and again. He can be depended on.

• Toda la gama del bien y del mal está en cada ser humano, ciertas notas, por su cualidad original más fuerte o por su uso más frecuente, parecen formar todo el carácter; pero son sólo los tonos que se oyen más a menudo. Toda la escala está en cada alma, y las notas más raramente oídas se harán audibles en raras ocasiones.

• En las raras ocasiones en que nuestros sueños tienen éxito y alcanzan la perfección -la mayoría de los sueños son chapuceros-, son cadenas simbólicas de escenas e imágenes en lugar de un lenguaje poético narrativo; circunscriben nuestras experiencias o expectativas o situaciones con tal audacia poética y decisión que por la mañana siempre nos asombramos cuando recordamos nuestros sueños.

  Friedrich Nietzsche

• All I know about music is that not many people ever really hear it. And even then, on the rare occasions when something opens within, and the music enters, what we mainly hear, or hear corroborated, are personal, private, vanishing evocations. But the man who creates the music is hearing something else, is dealing with the roar rising from the void and imposing order on it as it hits the air. What is evoked in him, then, is of another order, more terrible because it has no words, and triumphant, too, for that same reason. And his triumph, when he triumphs, is ours.

• We have all experienced times when, instead of being buffeted by anonymous forces, we do feel in control of our actions, masters of our own fate. On the rare occasions that it happens, we feel a sense of exhilaration, a deep sense of enjoyment that is long cherished and that becomes a landmark in memory for what life should be like.. moments like these are not the passive, receptive, relaxing timesthe best moments usually occur when a person’s body or mind is stretched to its limits in a voluntary effort to accomplish something difficult and worthwhile.

• No soy un gran corresponsal. Mis cartas no sólo carecen de interés, sino que son escasas. Me alegro de no tener que escribir para ganarme la vida. Es un trabajo arduo y el dinero es muy incierto. En las raras ocasiones en que entro en una librería, me sorprende ver la avalancha de literatura y semiliteratura que se publica semanalmente en este país. La gente que escribe estas cosas está desesperada por dinero o por amor. ¿Por qué habría alguien de encerrarse en una oficina y escribir a máquina durante horas en un día soleado? Creo que uno de los mayores placeres del mundo es no escribir.

• Amy adored both the new look and the new person it allowed her to be. Following the photo shoot, she wore her bruises to the dry cleaner and the grocery store. Most people nervously looked away, but on the rare occasions someone would ask what happened, my sister would smile as brightly as possible, saying, 'I'm in love. Can you believe it? I'm finally, totally in love, and I feel great.

• On the rare occasions when I spend a night in Oxford, the keeping of the hours by the clock towers in New College, and Merton, and the great booming of Tom tolling 101 times at 9 pm at Christ Church are inextricably interwoven with memories and regrets and lost joys. The sound almost sends me mad, so intense are the feelings it evokes.
