• Distance... is like futurity. A dim vastness is spread before our souls; the perceptions of our mind are as obscure as those of our vision... But alas! when we have attained our object, when the distant 'there' becomes the present 'here,' all is changed; we are as poor and circumscribed as ever, and our souls still languish for unattainable happiness.

  Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

• I sung from an early age and I was always given nice parts in school musicals, but I definitely wasn't the golden girl. I didn't have the guts.

• If a night-moth were to concentrate its will on flying to a star or some equally unattainable object, it wouldn't succeed. Only, it wouldn't even try in the first place. A moth confines its search to what has sense and value for it, what it needs, what is indispensable to its life... if I imagined that I wanted under all circumstances to get to the North Pole, then to achieve it I would have to desire it strongly enough that my whole being was ruled by it. But if I were to decide to will that the pastor should stop wearing his glasses, it would be useless. That would be making a game of it.

  Hermann Hesse

• En la vida del hombre, la ausencia de un componente esencial suele conducir a la adopción de un sustituto. El sustituto suele ser abrazado con vehemencia y extremismo, pues tenemos que convencernos de que lo que tomamos como segunda opción es lo mejor que ha existido. Así, la fe ciega es, en gran medida, un sustituto de la fe perdida en nosotros mismos; el deseo insaciable, un sustituto de la esperanza; la acumulación, un sustituto del crecimiento; el ajetreo ferviente, un sustituto de la acción decidida; y el orgullo, un sustituto de una autoestima inalcanzable.
