• Una cosa está viva o no lo está; no hay nada que esté casi vivo. No existe más que la más remota posibilidad de que la vida se origine por generación espontánea, y es muy probable que Arrhenius tenga razón cuando se atreve a afirmar que la vida es un fenómeno cósmico, algo que se desplaza entre las esferas, como la luz, y que como la luz desciende transitoriamente sobre aquellos que están preparados para recibirla.

• From the viewpoint of political power, culture is absolutely vital. So vital, indeed, that power cannot operate without it.

• Switch to piano! No. Really, if you like an instrument that sings, play the saxophone. At its best it's like the human voice. Of course, it would be best if you could actually sing with your own voice. The saxophone is an imperfect instrument, especially the tenor and soprano, as far as intonation goes. Therefore, the challenge is to sing on an imperfect instrument or 'voice' that is outside of your body. I love that challenge and have for over forty-five years. As far as playing jazz, no other art form, other than conversation, can give the satisfaction of spontaneous interaction.

• If learning to read was as easy as learning to talk, as some writers claim, many more children would learn to read on their own. The fact that they do not, despite their being surrounded by print, suggests that learning to read is not a spontaneous or simple skill.

• I sometimes feel a great ennui, profound emptiness, doubts which sneer in my face in the midst of the most spontaneous satisfactions. Well, I would not exchange all that for anything, because it seems to me, in my conscience, that I am doing my duty, that I am obeying a superior fatality, that I am following the Good and that I am in the Right.

• What, then, is the basic difference between today's computer and an intelligent being? It is that the computer can be made to seebut not to perceive. What matters here is not that the computer is without consciousness but that thus far it is incapable of the spontaneous grasp of pattern--a capacity essential to perception and intelligence.

• Love is trusting, accepting, and believing, without guarantee. Love is patient and waits, but it's an active waiting, not a passive one. For it is continually offering itself in a mutual revealing, a mutual sharing. Love is spontaneous and craves expression through joy, through beauty, through truth, even through tears.

  Leo Buscaglia

  Believe, Love Is, Offering

• Si por mí fuera", dijo Dionisio, "haría que vuestras moléculas estallaran en llamas. Barreríamos las cenizas y acabaríamos con un montón de problemas.

"La combustión espontánea es una forma de daño, Sr. D", dijo Quirón. "Tonterías", dijo Dionisio. "El niño no sentiría nada. Sin embargo, he accedido a contenerme.

• Thinking, not for the first time, that life should come with a trapdoor. Just a little exit hatch you could disappear through when you´d utterly and completely mortified yourself. Or when you had spontaneous zit eruptions. “Good book?” he asked, taking it from her and reading the subtitle, “A Guide for Good Girls Who (Sometimes) Want to Be Bad,” out loud. But life did not come with a trapdoor.

• Is love an art? Then it requires knowledge and effort. Love is not a spontaneous feeling, a thing that you fall into, but is something that requires thought, knowledge, care, giving, and respect. And it is something that is rare and difficult to find in capitalism, which commodifies human activity.

  Erich Fromm
