• Sitting quietly, doing nothing, not knowing what is next and not concerned with what was or what may be next, a new mind is operating that is not connected with the conditioned past and yet perceives and understands the whole mechanism of conditioning. It is the unmasking of the self that is nothing but masks - images, memories of past experiences, fears, hopes, and the ceaseless demand to be something or become somebody.

• I hate both of my parents right now: for sitting quietly in our house, while out in the darkness my heart was beating away all of the seconds of my life, ticking them off one by one until my time was up; for letting the thread between us stretch so far and so thin that the moment it was severed for good they didn't even feel it.

• Durante horas bailó y cantó y flirteó e hizo esa cosa que hizo Marilyn Monroe. Y entonces se produjo la inevitable caída. Y cuando terminó la noche y se acabó el vino blanco y se acabó el baile, se sentó en un rincón como una niña, con todo perdido. La vi sentada tranquilamente, sin expresión en la cara, y me dirigí hacia ella, pero no quise fotografiarla sin que ella lo supiera. Y cuando me acerqué con la cámara, vi que ella no decía que no.
