• I learned early on that war forms its own culture. The rush of battle is a potent and often lethal addiction, for war is a drug, one I ingested for many years. It is peddled by mythmakers- historians, war correspondents, filmmakers, novelists, and the state- all of whom endow it with qualities it often does possess: excitement, exoticism, power, chances to rise above our small stations in life, and a bizarre and fantastic universe that has a grotesque and dark beauty.

• Pero las mujeres se hallan en situaciones muy diferentes unas respecto de otras, pues todas son rivales (...) ¿Es, pues, de extrañar que cuando la única ambición de la mujer se centra en la belleza, y el interés da a la vanidad una fuerza adicional, surjan rivalidades perpetuas? Todas corren la misma carrera, y se elevarían por encima de la virtud de la moral, si no se miraran con ojos recelosos y hasta envidiosos.

  Mary Wollstonecraft

• Nada igualará jamás aquel momento de gozosa excitación que llenó todo mi ser cuando me sentí volar lejos de la tierra. No era mero placer; era la dicha perfecta. Escapando de los espantosos tormentos de la persecución y de la calumnia, sentí que respondía a todo al elevarme por encima de todo.

• ... En contraste con la "banalidad del mal", que postula que la gente corriente puede ser responsable de los actos más despreciables de crueldad y degradación de sus semejantes, yo postulo la "banalidad del heroísmo", que despliega la bandera de los heroicos Everyman y Everywoman que atienden la llamada al servicio de la humanidad cuando les llega la hora de actuar. Cuando suene la campana, sabrán que suena por ellos. Suena una llamada a defender lo mejor de la naturaleza humana que se eleva por encima de las poderosas presiones de la Situación y el Sistema como la profunda afirmación de la dignidad humana que se opone al mal.

  Philip Zimbardo

• El camino de la autopurificación es duro y escarpado. Uno tiene que volverse absolutamente libre de pasiones en pensamiento, palabra y acción para elevarse por encima de las corrientes opuestas de amor y odio, apego y repulsión. Sé que todavía no tengo en mí esa triple pureza, a pesar de esforzarme incesantemente por conseguirla. Por eso los elogios del mundo no me conmueven, es más, muy a menudo me escuecen. Conquistar las pasiones sutiles me parece mucho más difícil que la conquista física del mundo por la fuerza de las armas.
