• People think that they have no right to judge a fact - all they have to do is to accept it. Thus from the moment that technics, the State, or production, are facts, we must worship them as facts, and we must try to adapt ourselves to them. This is the very heart of modern religion, the religion of the established fact, the religion on which depend the lesser religions of the dollar, race, or the proletariat, which are only expressions of the great modern divinity, the Moloch of fact.

• A estas alturas ya debes haber aceptado el hecho de que tu religión, de hecho, ninguna de las religiones terrenales, sabía realmente lo que sería la vida después de la muerte. Todas hicieron conjeturas, y luego las establecieron como artículos de fe. Aunque, en cierto sentido, algunos estaban cerca de la marca, si usted acepta sus revelaciones como simbólico .

• The success that comes from my books is not something I feel very comfortable with. Past a certain point you have to accept the idea that the success is a lot to do with the timing and luck and that divorces you from it massively. There are aspects of it that I haven't got used to at all. But I've enjoyed some parts of it massively. It relates to the same reason I did a lot of backpacking — partly for the experience — it's something to tell my grandkids. It's a weird chain of events to have in your life.

• Because of my age and what I do for a living and the amount of time that I've spent away from my family and loved ones, I'm starting to relate more to the late-period Kerouac stuff in the way that I once related to the fun and excitement of the early material. There's a darkness inside of me that I'm only now starting to come to grips with and accept. And it's starting to scare me.

• Anybody who has ever done anything knows that, when you believe, it doesn't matter what other people think. You just have to keep finding a way to align your vision with other people who will receive and accept your vision. And when the time is right, if it is for you, it will show itself, if you believe.

• I honestly believe, and I've said it many times, that the universal stems from the specific and I can't walk around with a performance and ask everyone how they feel about it, but if noble is an opinion that people have I'll accept that. I've been asked many times why I don't play bad guys, or heavies, and I would do it, absolutely, in a second, just haven't been offered any so... if anybody has a script out there tonight I'm more than willing.

• I think what drove me away from being a reporter was an inability to accept that the world came in neat stories. Every story you have to report is just part of something bigger. The news isn't what happened last night - it's some cumulative thing that's happened over centuries. I found it hard to think of one event and drag it out of a bubbling pot and present it as the story that explains it all.

• I often ask people if they would like to give their organs when they pass on, and they say "Well, I'm not so sure, I don't know." And I said, "Well, would you accept one if you needed one?" "Well, yeah, sure." And I say "Well, there you go - where do you get them from?".

• En lo que respecta al gobierno, sólo hay un libro sagrado, que es la constitución de la India. La unidad y la integridad del país son las máximas prioridades.

Mi gobierno no tolerará ni aceptará ninguna discriminación basada en la casta, el credo y la religión.

• The most important form of incremental change is the decision by the individual to become vegan. Veganism, or the eschewing of all animal products, is more than a matter of diet or lifestyle; it is a political and moral statement in which the individual accepts the principle of abolition in her own life. Veganism is the one truly abolitionist goal that we can all achieve - and we can achieve it immediately, starting with our next meal.

• Choosing beauty over content (or choosing beauty as content) is always an act of sedition. If we accept the cant of official culture, we must believe that the beauty we steal from any man-made thing is stolen from its more virtuous and metaphysical backstory, wherein "real" beauty is said to reside.

• When developers of digital technologies design a program that requires you to interact with a computer as if it were a person, they ask you to accept in some corner of your brain that you might also be conceived of as a program.

• It seemed to me that had Haydn lived to our day he would have retained his own style while accepting something of the new at the same time. That was the kind of symphony I wanted to write: a symphony in the classical style. And when I saw that my idea was beginning to work, I called it the Classical Symphony.

• What modernity requires is not that you cease living according to your faith, but that you accept that others may differ and that therefore politics requires a form of discourse that is reasonable and accessible to believer and non-believer alike. This religious restraint in politics is critical to the maintenance of liberal democracy.

• Las actitudes no filosófica y filosófica pueden distinguirse muy nítidamente (sin apenas formas intermedias) por el hecho de que la primera acepta todo lo que sucede en cuanto a su forma general, y sólo encuentra motivo de sorpresa en aquel contenido especial por el que algo que sucede hoy aquí difiere de lo que sucedió ayer allí; mientras que para la segunda, son precisamente los rasgos comunes de toda experiencia, tales como caracterizan todo lo que encontramos, los que constituyen la ocasión primaria y más profunda de asombro.

• Economists tell us that the 'price' of an object and its 'value' have very little or nothing to do with one another. 'Value' is entirely subjective economic value, anyway while 'price' reflects whatever a buyer is willing to give up to get the object in question, and whatever the seller is willing to accept to give it up. Both are governed by the Law of Marginal Utility, which is actually a law of psychology, rather than economics. For government to attempt to dictate a 'fair price' betrays complete misunderstanding of the entire process.

• I just tend to admire people who go for what they believe in, like David Lynch for example, and just say what goes through their heads, and are not afraid of people not accepting them. I have no respect for people who deliberately try to be weird to attract attention, but if that's who you honestly are, you shouldn't try to "normalize yourself". It's a fine line.

• Piense en lo extraño de la situación actual. Hace treinta, cuarenta años, aún debatíamos sobre cuál sería el futuro: comunista, fascista, capitalista, lo que fuera. Hoy, nadie debate siquiera estas cuestiones. Todos aceptamos en silencio que el capitalismo global está aquí para quedarse. Por otro lado, estamos obsesionados con las catástrofes cósmicas: toda la vida en la Tierra desintegrándose, a causa de algún virus, a causa del impacto de un asteroide contra la Tierra, etcétera. Así que la paradoja es que es mucho más fácil imaginar el fin de toda la vida en la tierra que un cambio radical mucho más modesto en el capitalismo.

• But the people did get it. They had lost something -- not exactly their fear, but their patience. Suddenly it seemed unbearable to go on accepting these systems, these portly little idiots in their blue suits, for another year, and then for another day, another hour. That special sort of impatience is the power-surge of revolution.
