• Each day befriend a single fear, and the miscellaneous terrors of being human will never join together to form such a morass of vague anxiety that it rules your life from the shadows of the unconscious. We learn to fly not by being fearless, but by the daily practice of courage.

  Sam Keen

  Practice, Anxiety, Fearless

• We cannot tell some people what it is believe, partly because they are too stupid to understand, partly because we are too proudly vague to explain.

• No estoy vivo. La gente cree que los recuerdos se vuelven vagos, que se borran con el tiempo, ya que nada perdura contra el paso del tiempo. Esa es la diferencia; el tiempo no pasa sobre mí, sobre nosotros. No borra nada, no lo deshace. No estoy vivo. Morí en Auschwitz, pero nadie lo sabe.

  Charlotte Delbo

• The cast, staff, and crew of a live theater work together toward a common goal: a good performance. Thus, theater is necessarily a group effort. However, it is never a group effort of vague fellow committee members, but of associated autocrats-a playwright, a producer, a director, a stage manager, designers, and, above all, actors. Each accommodates the others, and may overlap others in function when necessary. But each autocrat assumes distinct responsibilities and accepts them completely.

  Laurence Sterne

  Responsibility, Goal, Effort

• Will our life not be a tunnel between two vague clarities? Or will it not be a clarity between two dark triangles?

  Pablo Neruda

• The advantages of a uniform statistical nomenclature, however im- perfect, are so obvious, that it is surprising no attention has been paid to its enforcement in bills of mortality. Each disease has in many instances been denoted by three or four terms, and each term has been applied to as many different diseases ; vague, inconvenient names have been employed, or complications have been registered, instead of primary diseases. The nomenclature is of as much importance in this depart- ment of inquiry as weights and measures in the physical sciences, and should be settled without delay.

  William Farr

• Nuestro Mandato Apostólico exige de Nosotros que velemos por la pureza de la Fe y la integridad de la disciplina católica. Nos exige que protejamos a los fieles del mal y del error; especialmente cuando el mal y el error se presentan en un lenguaje dinámico que, ocultando nociones vagas y expresiones ambiguas con palabras emotivas y altisonantes, es probable que encienda los corazones de los hombres en pos de ideales que, aunque atractivos, no dejan de ser nefastos.

  Papa Pío X

• Vive el presente. El pasado se ha ido, el futuro es desconocido, pero el presente es real y tus oportunidades son ahora. Debes ver estas oportunidades; deben ser reales para ti. El problema es que no pueden parecer reales si tu mente está enterrada en fracasos pasados, si sigues reviviendo viejos errores, viejas culpas, viejas tragedias. Lucha por superar las muchas e inevitables traumatizaciones de tu ego, escapa de la condenación por el pasado y mira hacia las oportunidades del presente. No me refiero a un momento impreciso del presente: la semana que viene o el mes que viene, quizás. Me refiero a hoy, a este minuto.

  Maxwell Maltz

  Real, Mistake, Mean

• Certainly the Old Testament does not teach us that there is another life, and upon that question even the New is obscure and vague. The hunger of the heart finds only a few small and scattered crumbs. There is nothing definite, solid, and satisfying. United with the idea of immortality we find the absurdity of the resurrection. A prophecy that depends for its fulfillment upon an impossibility, cannot satisfy the brain or heart.

• America as a setting seems inexhaustibly fascinating to me, and I think there's something about the outsider viewpoint that works for me. Being of Jewish descent in England always carried a vague sense of being foreign, while not being a practicing Jew made it hard to think of myself as fully Jewish either. So living here in a way just clarifies that terminal outsider position - makes it somehow official, which I like.

• I find that goal setting, when done this way, leads to goal achieving. The chronic failure to achieve goals lowers self-esteem. Show me a failure to achieve a goal, and usually I can show you the violation of one or more of the above criteria. Imposed goals, vague goals, and unrealistic goals tend to produce only partial successes and outright failures.

  Neal A. Maxwell

  Self Esteem, Generosity, Goal

• Who is this vague "they" we blame for so many of our problems? "They" is the obscure party we use as our whipping boy to camouflage the fact that we - you and I and other specific human beings just like us - have to start doing things differently. "They" can't fix anything. We can.

• Some people ask: "Why the word feminist? Why not just say you are a believer in human rights, or something like that?" Because that would be dishonest. Feminism is, of course, part of human rights in general-but to choose to use the vague expression human rights is to deny the specific and particular problem of gender. It would be a way of pretending that it was not women who have, for centuries, been excluded. It would be a way of denying that the problem of gender targets women.

• I don't see that there is a credible threat for American action - the rhetoric of the U.S. President is too vague, very amorphous. I don't see that Obama's words will be translated into more tangible intentions and therefore this is probably why the Iranians don't take it seriously. They speak out against it and they dismiss it.

• "Children, don't speak so coarsely," said Mr Webster, who had a vague notion that some supervision should be exercised over his daughters' speech, and that a line should be drawn, but never knew quite when to draw it. He had allowed his daughters to use his library without restraint, and nothing is more fatal to maidenly delicacy of speech than the run of a good library.

  Robertson Davies

• La melodía y la armonía son como las líneas y los colores en los cuadros. Un cuadro lineal simple puede ser completamente bello; la introducción del color puede hacerlo vago e insignificante. Sin embargo, el color puede, en combinación con las líneas, crear grandes cuadros, siempre que no los ahogue y destruya su valor.

• God's redemptive revelation in Scripture is necessary to saving faith and peace with God. Faith in a risen Savior is necessary if the vague stirrings toward immortality are to bring us to restful and satisfying communion with God.

• When people say ceramics is therapeutic and seductive, I think it's really about the wheel. Nothing I've done has that feeling; I feel like I'm fighting with the material the whole time. It doesn't want to be vague. It doesn't want to be asymmetrical. It doesn't want to have different clays combined. It doesn't want to do any of the things I make it do.
