• Si, en un individuo, la formación universitaria produce un gusto por la ociosidad refinada, un disgusto por el esfuerzo sostenido, una arrogancia intelectual estéril o un sentido de distanciamiento superfluo del mundo de los hombres reales que hacen el trabajo real del mundo, entonces ha perjudicado a ese individuo.

• It can be difficult to be an introvert in church, especially if you happen to be the pastor. Liking to be alone can be interpreted as a judgment on other people's company. Liking to be quiet can be construed as aloofness. There is so much emphasis on community in most congregations that anyone who does not participate risks being labeled a loner.

• Para ver un objeto bajo la luz adecuada, debemos alejarnos de él. El estudio de las literaturas clásicas proporciona el distanciamiento que cultiva la perspicacia. Al aprender a convivir con pueblos y civilizaciones que hace tiempo que dejaron de estar vivos, ganamos una posición ventajosa, adquirimos una ampliación y elevación del pensamiento, que nos permiten estudiar con una mente más imparcial y liberal la condición de la sociedad que nos rodea.

  John Lancaster Spalding

• El problema mismo de la mente y el cuerpo sugiere división; no conozco nada tan desastrosamente afectado por el hábito de la división como este tema en particular. En su discusión se refleja la escisión de la religión, la moral y la ciencia; el divorcio de la filosofía de la ciencia y de ambas de las artes de la conducta. Los males que sufrimos en la educación, en la religión, en el materialismo de los negocios y en el distanciamiento de los "intelectuales" de la vida, en toda la separación del conocimiento y la práctica, todo da testimonio de la necesidad de ver la mente y el cuerpo como un todo integral.

• Put down the weight of your aloneness and ease into the conversation. The kettle is singing even as it pours you a drink, the cooking pots have left their arrogant aloofness and seen the good in you at last. All the birds and creatures of the world are unutterably themselves. Everything is waiting for you.

• [Kierkegaard] did not care for large public events because every crowd is in itself an untruth. The only way out is isolation, aloofness. Only the individual is a reality and only the individual is true. Maybe the process of isolation in an individual is one of the most important matters that exists. Is not the whole point of this world for people to separate and become individuals?

• The greatest dread of ordinary man is death, with its rude imposition interrupting fortuitous plans and fondest attachments with an unknown and unwelcome change. The yogi is a conqueror of the grief associated with death. By control of mind and life force and the development of wisdom, he makes friends with the change of consciousness called death-he becomes familiar with the state of inner calmness and aloofness from identification with the mortal body.

  Paramahansa Yogananda
