• I could not help feeling that they were evil things-- mountains of madness whose farther slopes looked out over some accursed ultimate abyss. That seething , half-luminous cloud-background held ineffable suggestions of a vague, ethereal beyondness far more than terrestrially spatial; and gave appalling reminders of the utter remoteness, separateness, desolation, and aeon-long death of this untrodden and unfathomed austral world.

• Llevo toda la vida caminando junto a un abismo sin fondo, saltando de piedra en piedra. A veces intento abandonar mi estrecho camino y unirme a la corriente principal de la vida, pero siempre me veo arrastrado inexorablemente hacia el borde del abismo, y allí caminaré hasta el día en que finalmente caiga al abismo.

• En este salvaje Abismo/ La matriz de la Naturaleza, y quizás su tumba--/ Ni de mar, ni de costa, ni de aire, ni de fuego,/ Sino de todo esto en sus causas preñadas mezcladas/ Confusamente, y que así deben luchar siempre,/ A menos que el Todopoderoso Hacedor les ordene/ Sus oscuros materiales para crear más mundos,--/ En este salvaje Abismo el cauteloso Demonio/ Se paró en el borde del Infierno y miró un rato,/ Ponderando su viaje; porque ningún estrecho frith/ Tenía que cruzar.

• Adjustment, that synonym for conformity that comes more easily to the modern tongue, is the theme of our swan song, the piper's tune to which we dance on the brink of the abyss, the siren's melody that destroys our senses and paralyzes our wills.

• El tiempo, en su irresistible e incesante fluir, arrastra en su torrente todas las cosas creadas y las ahoga en las profundidades de la oscuridad. . . . Pero el relato de la historia forma un baluarte muy fuerte contra la corriente del tiempo, y frena en cierta medida su irresistible fluir, de modo que, de todas las cosas hechas en él, cuantas la historia se ha apoderado de ellas las asegura y las une, y no permite que se deslicen hacia el abismo del olvido.

• The fascination of any search after truth lies not in the attainment, which at best is found to be very relative, but in the pursuit, where all the powers of the mind and character are brought into play and are absorbed by the task. One feels oneself in contact with something that is infinite and one finds joy that is beyond expression in sounding the abyss of science and the secrets of the infinite mind.

• La división de Estados Unidos en federaciones de igual fuerza fue decidida mucho antes de la Guerra Civil por las altas potencias financieras de Europa. Estos banqueros temían que los Estados Unidos, si permanecían en un solo bloque y como una sola nación, alcanzaran la independencia económica y financiera, lo que perturbaría su dominio financiero sobre el mundo. La voz de los Rothschild prevaleció... Por eso enviaron a sus emisarios al campo para explotar la cuestión de la esclavitud y abrir un abismo entre las dos secciones de la Unión.

  Otto von Bismarck

• This my goodness does to endow the souls of the just more fully with spiritual riches when for my love they are stripped of material goods because they have renounced the world and all its pleasures and even their own will. These are the ones who fatten their souls, enlarging them in the abyss of my charity. Then I become their spiritual provider. The Holy Spirit becomes their servant.

• Today social justice represents one of the most serious challenges to the conscience of the world. The abyss between those who are within the world 'order' and those who are excluded is widening day by day. The use of leading-edge technologies has made it possible to accumulate wealth in a way that is fantastic but perverse because it is unjustly distributed. Twenty-percent of humankind control eighty percent of all means of life. That fact creates a dangerous imbalance in the movement of history.

• With your ego you cannot know. Only in an egolessness, in a deep abyss, in the absence of the ego, does the perception happen - then you become a mirror. With the ego you will always interpret, you cannot know the truth. With the ego you will always be there interpreting in subtle ways, and your interpretation is not the truth. You are the medium of all falsification. Through you everything becomes false. When you are not there, the true reflects.

  Rajneesh
