• Whenever someone makes out a guest list, the people not on it become officially uninvited, and that makes them the enemies of the invited. Guest lists are just a way of choosing sides.

• La meditación no es la búsqueda del placer y de la felicidad. Por el contrario, la meditación es un estado mental en el que no existe ningún concepto ni fórmula y, por lo tanto, la libertad es total. Es sólo a una mente así a la que esta dicha llega sin ser buscada ni invitada. Una vez que está ahí, aunque vivas en el mundo con todo su ruido, placer y brutalidad, no tocarán esa mente.

• Mi vida son luces intermitentes, dedos que señalan y visitantes no invitados. A centímetros de distancia, los humanos aplastan sus manitas contra el muro de cristal que nos separa. El cristal dice que tú eres esto y nosotros somos aquello y así será siempre.

• In the psychological literature, depression is often seen as a defense against sadness. But I'll take sadness any day. There is no contest. Sadness carries identification. You know where it's been and you know where it's headed. Depression carries no papers. It enters your country unannounced and uninvited. Its origins are unknown, but its destination always dead-ends in you.

• Nuestra situación en esta tierra parece extraña. Cada uno de nosotros aparece aquí involuntariamente y sin haber sido invitado para una breve estancia, sin saber los porqués ni los paraqués. En nuestra vida cotidiana sólo sentimos que el hombre está aquí por el bien de los demás, por aquellos a quienes amamos y por muchos otros seres cuyo destino está relacionado con el nuestro. A menudo me preocupa pensar que mi vida se basa en gran medida en el trabajo de mis semejantes y soy consciente de mi gran deuda con ellos.

  Albert Einstein

• Nothing in the church makes people in the church more angry than grace. It's ironic: we stumble into a party we weren't invited to and find the uninvited standing at the door making sure no other uninviteds get in. Then a strange phenomenon occurs: as soon as we are included in the party because of Jesus' irresponsible love, we decide to make grace "more responsible" by becoming self-appointed Kingdom Monitors, guarding the kingdom of God, keeping the riffraff out (which, as I understand it, are who the kingdom of God is supposed to include).

• I've heard some pretty bad things in my life. I'm just one of those people I've gotten to a point where I don't want to be rude, but if it's uninvited attention from people it's like, "Thank you, but no." I'm going to shut you down right away.

• It is a mark of the depth of their wounding that they are pretending they suspected it all along. Everything that they have seen and been told about love so far has been an inside perspective, and they are not prepared for the crashing weight of this exclusion. It dawns on them now how much they never saw and how little they were wanted, and with this dawning comes a painful re-imagining of the self as peripheral, uninvited, and utterly minor.

• One immense old lady has a family of lively young crocodiles running over her, evidently playing like a lot of kittens. The heavy musky smell they give off is most repulsive, but we do not rise up and make a row about this, because we feel hopelessly in the wrong in intruding into these family scenes uninvited.

• The thing with your heart's desire is that your heart doesn't even know what it desires until it turns up. Like a tie at a tag sale, some perfect thing in a crate of nothing, you were just there, uninvited, and now suddenly the party was over and you were all I wanted. I hadn't even been looking, not for you, and now you were my heart's desire.
