• The relationship between science and the humanities is two-way. Science changes our view of the world and our place in it. In the other direction, the humanities provide the store of ideas and images and language available to us in understanding the world. The exploding star of A.D. 1054, the Crab Nebula, was sighted and documented by the Chinese, but nowhere mentioned in the West, where the Aristotelian notion of the immortality of stars still held sway. We often do not see what we do not expect to see.

• Reading has always been life unwrapped to me, a way of understanding the world and understanding myself through both the unknown and the everyday. If being a parent consists often of passing along chunks of ourselves to unwitting-often unwilling-recipients, then books are, for me, one of the simplest and most sure-fire ways of doing that.

• Someone with a fresh mind, one not conditioned by upbringing and environment, would doubtless look at science and the powerful reductionism that it inspires as overwhelmingly the better mode of understanding the world, and would doubtless scorn religion as sentimental wishful thinking. Would not that same uncluttered mind also see the attempts to reconcile science and religion by disparaging the reduction of the complex to the simple as attempts guided by muddle-headed sentiment and intellectually dishonest emotion?

• I don't have the slightest interest in gold. I like understanding what works and what doesn't in human systems. To me that's not optional; that's a moral obligation. If you're capable of understanding the world, you have a moral obligation to become rational. And I don't see how you become rational hoarding gold. Even if it works, you're a jerk.

  Charlie Munger

• El perdón y la liberación del pasado abren el flujo creativo de la vida, apoyando todos los niveles de la mente, el corazón, el cuerpo, la emoción y el espíritu. Este flujo de energía determina el estado de nuestra salud, nuestro deseo de crear y procrear, nuestra voluntad de desarrollar nuestros dones, y cómo usamos o negamos la fuerza vital que se nos da como seres humanos. . . . al elegir dejar ir el pasado, nuestros miedos y nuestros patrones o reacciones negativas ante la vida, de repente nos fundimos con un resurgimiento de la fuerza vital, que nos impulsa hacia una nueva forma de ser y una manera muy diferente de entender el mundo.
