• Me parece, sin embargo, que los países que más ganaron con la Cumbre Mundial sobre la Sociedad de la Información son los que la vieron como una oportunidad para entablar un debate más diverso sobre las cuestiones internas y tratar de elevar la calidad del debate (tanto en términos de información como de comprensión).

• No creo que los países en desarrollo salieran ganando con un proceso en dos fases. Una cumbre en una sola fase (que, al fin y al cabo, es un proceso de dos años, no un acto de tres días) habría servido para concienciar y probablemente habría llevado a conclusiones más sustanciales al final de la primera cumbre. La sociedad civil puede haber sacado algo más de provecho de la experiencia de trabajo en red, pero fue menos eficaz en la segunda fase.

• Of course there are collaborations. But in official meetings with Western diplomats from the US and the European Union, the major issues of our relationships are simply not discussed. The topics are on climate change or any other issues they want us to agree with them on. But they never discuss how we could develop an equal relationship. They should stop using pompous orchestrated summits and begin a serious dialogue with small meetings.

• Joy must be one of the pivots of our life. It is the token of a generous personality. Sometimes it is also a mantle that clothes a life of sacrifice and self-giving. A person who has this gift often reaches high summits. He or she is like sun in a community.

• Era un día de viaje más duro que el de ayer, pues había que subir largas y fatigosas colinas; y en los viajes, como en la vida, es mucho más fácil bajar una colina que subirla. Sin embargo, siguieron adelante, con perseverancia inquebrantable, y todavía no se ha levantado la colina hacia el cielo que la perseverancia no alcance por fin la cima.

• The pitch to which he was aroused was tremendous. All the fighting blood of his breed was up in him and surging through him. This was living., though he did not know it. He was realizing his own meaning in the world; he was doing that for which he was made.... He was justifying his existence, than which life can do no greater; for life achieves its summit when it does to the uttermost that which it was equipped to do.

• As with all journeys, the Way has an end, though it should not be imagined as a straight road leading to a fixed destination but rather as a majestic mountain whose peak conceals the presence of God. There are, of course, many paths to the summit-some better than others. But because every path eventually leads to the same destination, which path one takes is irrelevant.

• I stand here on the summit of the mountain. I lift my head and I spread my arms. This, my body and spirit, this is the end of the quest. I wished to know the meaning of all things. I am the meaning. I wished to find a warrant for being. I need no warrant for being, and no word of sanction upon my being. I am the warrant and the sanction. Neither am I the means to any end others may wish to accomplish. I am not a tool for their use. I am not a servant of their needs. I am not a sacrifice on their alters.

• No puedes quedarte en la cima para siempre; tienes que volver a bajar. Entonces, ¿por qué molestarse? Sólo por esto: Lo que está arriba sabe lo que está abajo, pero lo que está abajo no sabe lo que está arriba. Se sube, se ve. Se desciende, ya no se ve, pero se ha visto. Hay un arte de conducirse en las regiones inferiores por el recuerdo de lo que uno vio más arriba. Cuando ya no se ve, al menos se sabe.

• For, after all, every one who wishes to gain true knowledge must climb the Hill Difficulty alone, and since there is no royal road to the summit, I must zigzag it in my own way. I slip back many times, I fall, I stand still, I run against the edge of hidden obstacles, I lose my temper and find it again and keep it better, I trudge on, I gain a little, I feel encouraged, I get more eager and climb higher and begin to see the widening horizon. Every struggle is a victory. One more effort and I reach the luminous cloud, the blue depths of the sky, the uplands of my desire.

• I am alone so I dream of the being who has cured my solitude, who would be cured by solitudes. With its life, it brought me the idealizations of life, all the idealizations which give life a double, which lead life toward it summits, which make the dreamer too live by splitting.

  Gaston Bachelard
