• [DMT] raises all the questions in a hurry. It's so intense and so oriented toward the other and the visual and the hallucinogenic that it isn't really like a drug. It's more like an event that you ran into. You just came around a corner and there was the unspeakable.

  Terence McKenna

• What is a child, but a piece of the parent enrapt up in another skin? And yet our dearest children are but as strangers to us, in comparison of the unspeakable dearness that was between the Father and Christ. Now, that he should ever be content to part with a Son, and such an only One, is such a manifestation of love, as will be admired to all eternity.

  John Flavel

• I think I would really lay down and die. Music comes from a very primal, twisted place. When a person sings, their body, their mouth, their eyes, their words, their voice says all these unspeakable things that you really can't explain but that mean something anyway. People are completely transformed when they sing; people look like that when they sing or when they make love. But it's a weird thing—at the end of the night I feel strange, because I feel I've told everybody all my secrets.

  Jeff Buckley

  Mean, Eye, Night

• Christian faith is a grand cathedral, with divinely pictured windows. Standing without you see no glory, nor can possibly imagine any. Nothing is visible but the merest outline of dusky shapes. Standing within all is clear and defined; every ray of light reveals an army of unspeakable splendors.

  John Ruskin

• ENCIÉNDETE. para contactar con las antiguas energías y sabidurías que están incorporadas en tu sistema nervioso. Proporcionan un placer y una revelación indescriptibles. TUNE IN. para aprovechar y comunicar estas nuevas perspectivas en una danza armoniosa con el mundo exterior. Los modelos actuales de adaptación social -mecanizados, informatizados, socializados, intelectualizados, televisados, sanforizados- no tienen sentido para la nueva generación del LSD, que ve claramente que la sociedad americana se está convirtiendo en un hormiguero con aire acondicionado.

• Robin [Williams] was a world treasure. As we mourn his tragic death, we must remember him for the great waves of laughter that he was able to illicit from us, how his humor and insights - though they came from a place of pain and uncertainty - connected us and reminded us of how flawed and fragile...how human we are. How we are capable of moments of inspired transcendence and others of unspeakable despair.

• First, by the figurations of art there be made instruments of navigation without men to row them, as great ships to brooke the sea, only with one man to steer them, and they shall sail far more swiftly than if they were full of men; also chariots that shall move with unspeakable force without any living creature to stir them. Likewise an instrument may be made to fly withall if one sits in the midst of the instrument, and do turn an engine, by which the wings, being artificially composed, may beat the air after the manner of a flying bird.

• ...Si la paz fuera el objetivo de los intelectuales actuales, un fracaso de tal magnitud -y la evidencia de un sufrimiento indecible a tan gran escala- les haría detenerse y revisar sus premisas estatistas. En lugar de ello, ciegos a todo salvo a su odio al capitalismo, afirman ahora que "la pobreza engendra guerras"... Pero la pregunta es: ¿Qué genera pobreza? Si observamos el mundo de hoy y repasamos la historia, veremos la respuesta: el grado de libertad de un país es el grado de su prosperidad.

• It is necessary to reaffirm our solid opposition to any direct offense against life, especially when innocent and defenseless, and the unborn child in its mother's womb is the quintessence of innocence. Let us remember the words of Vatican Council II: 'Therefore from the moment of its conception life must be guarded with the greatest care while abortion and infanticide are unspeakable crimes.'

  Pope Francis

• It is unheard-of, uncivilized barbarism that any woman should still be forced to bear such monstrous torture. It should be remedied. It should be stopped. It is simply absurd that, with our modern science, painless childbirth does not exist as a matter of course.... I tremble with indignation when I think ofthe unspeakable egotism and blindness of men of science who permit such atrocities when they can be remedied.
