• La única postura que no me deja ninguna disonancia cognitiva es el ateísmo. No es un credo. La muerte es segura y sustituye tanto al canto de sirena del Paraíso como al pavor del Infierno. La vida en esta tierra, con todo su misterio y su belleza y su dolor, se vive entonces mucho más intensamente: tropezamos y nos levantamos, estamos tristes, confiados, inseguros, sentimos soledad y alegría y amor. No hay nada más; pero no quiero nada más.

  Christopher Hitchens

  Motivational, Song, Atheist

• Because of the irresistible nature of our own Imagos, I think the replication of it in music is a siren song - we love those tormented songs, and we listen to them over and over and over the way that we smash ourselves into our lovers, or the same kind of lover, over and over. That drive is tireless, until it is resolved. And we can "enjoy" it safely through music, which is a simulacrum we have power over.

• I always loved all kinds of music. I would watch musicals a lot as a kid, on TV, watch the Fred Astaire movies. I'd watch 'The Wizard of Oz.' I was a big Jerry Lewis fan, and they'd have these big bands and someone singing - some siren, or some guy singing some gorgeous song. I was always enamored of that style of music.

  Queen Latifah

• A veces pienso que ninguna situación se ajusta realmente a la definición técnica de ironía, y que la palabra simplemente flota en el éter lingüístico entonando un canto de sirena diseñado para estrellar a los desprevenidos contra las rocas dentadas de la pedantería.

• There are a few investment managers, of course, who are very good - though in the short run, it's difficult to determine whether a great record is due to luck or talent. Most advisors, however, are far better at generating high fees than they are at generating high returns. In truth, their core competence is salesmanship. Rather than listen to their siren songs, investors - large and small - should instead read Jack Bogle's The Little Book of Common Sense Investing.

• ...for the first time in my life, a voice went off in my head:'You have no power over what happens in your life. Drugs dictate exactly what you're going to do. You've taken your hands off the steering wheel, and you're going wherever the drug world takes you.' That had never changed. The feeling would well up inside of me, and no matter how much I loved my girl or my band or my friends or my family, when that siren song 'Go get high now' started playing in my head, I was off.

  Anthony Kiedis

  Girl, Song, Taken
