• Una mujer curtida es picante. Ha sido adobada con las experiencias de la vida. Como un vino complejo, puede ser alternativamente dulce, ácida, chispeante, suave. Es a la vez maternal y juguetona. Segura, seductora e ingeniosa. Es menos probable que tenga una agenda que una mujer joven: no hay un reloj biológico que marque las horas junto a la cama de su amante, ni una campaña para llevarle al altar, ni fantasías de rescate. La mujer experimentada sabe quién es. Podría ser cualquiera de nosotras, siempre que se comprometa a vivir plena y apasionadamente la segunda mitad de su vida, a pesar de los fracasos y los comienzos en falso.

  Gail Sheehy

• Hay que santificar todo lo que se hace en la vida natural. Se come en santidad, se saborea la comida en santidad, y la mesa se convierte en un altar. Uno trabaja en santidad, y levanta las chispas que se esconden en todas las herramientas. Uno camina en santidad por los campos, y los suaves cantos de todas las hierbas, que expresan a Dios, entran en el canto de nuestra alma.

  Martin Buber

• The trouble with a great many men is that they spread themselves out over too much ground. They fail in everything. If they would only put their life into one channel, and keep it in, they would accomplish something. They make no impression because they do a little work here and a little work there....Lay yourselves on the altar of God, and then concentrate on some one work.

  Dwight L. Moody

• Goddesses never die. They slip in and out of the world's cities, in and out of our dreams, century after century, answering to different names, dressed differently, perhaps even disguised, perhaps idle and unemployed, their official altars abandoned, their temples feared or simply forgotten.

• Uno de los encantos de la nueva era es que supone un giro de conciencia que nos da permiso para mirar más allá de las apariencias. Pero hay trampas que vienen con ella. Es valiente deshacerse de los viejos altares, iglesias y ceremonias que nos impedían descubrir, pero no lo es tanto sustituirlos por cánticos y rituales y nuevos sacerdotes que son recauchutados de los antiguos.

  Richard Bach

• Fue una verdadera sorpresa para mí encontrarme con la evidencia de que el cristianismo pudo haber sido una vez una religión danzada. Ciertamente, algunos de los primeros líderes de la Iglesia pensaban que esto era genial y hablaban de lo que parece haber sido una danza en círculo, tal vez alrededor de un altar.

• Neither torch nor dagger," Annabeth said firmly. "There is a third test, which I will pass." "A third test?" the pater demanded. "Mithras was born from rock," Annabeth said, hoping she was right. "He emerged fully grown from the stone, holding his dagger and torch." The screaming and wailing told her she had guessed correctly. "The big mother knows all!" a ghost cried. "That is our most closely guarded secret!" Then maybe you shouldn't put a statue of it on your altar, Annabeth thought.

• The Christian, the Mohammedan, the Jew - their emphasis is on the second: to die as soon as possible, to surrender to God. Prayer is their way. Prayer means dying, dying and disappearing as a person, becoming part of the universal, a surrender, a trust in God. The whole emphasis is on how to surrender your ego, sacrifice your ego, at the altar of the divine.

  Rajneesh

• The revolting details of childbirth had been hidden from me with such care that I was as surprised as I was horrified, and I cannot help thinking that the vows most women are made to take are very foolhardy. I doubt whether they would willingly go to the altar to swear that they will allow themselves to be broken on the wheel every nine months.

• I falter where I firmly trod, And falling with my weight of cares Upon the great world's altar-stairs That slope thro' darkness up to God, I stretch lame hands of faith, and grope, And gather dust and chaff, and call To what I feel is Lord of all, And faintly trust the larger hope.
