• What I mean by the Muse is that unimpeded clearness of the intuitive powers, which a perfectly truthful adherence to every admonition of the higher instincts would bring to a finely organized human being. It may appear as prophesy or as poesy...should these faculties have free play, I believe they will open up new, deeper and purer sources of joyous inspiration than have as yet refreshed the earth.

  Margaret Fuller

• Mathematical analysis is as extensive as nature itself; it defines all perceptible relations, measures times, spaces, forces, temperatures:;; this difficult science is formed slowly, but it preserves every principle which it has once acquired; it grows and strengthens itself incessantly in the midst of the many variations and errors of the human mind. It's chief attribute is clearness; it has no marks to express confused notations. It brings together phenomena the most diverse, and discovers the hidden analogies which unite them.

• An old French mathematician said: "A mathematical theory is not to be considered complete until you have made it so clear that you can explain it to the first man whom you meet on the street." This clearness and ease of comprehension, here insisted on for a mathematical theory, I should still more demand for a mathematical problem if it is to be perfect; for what is clear and easily comprehended attracts, the complicated repels us.

• You are so terribly nimble, so clever. I distrust your cleverness. You make a wonderful pattern, everything is in its place, it looks convincingly clear, too clear. And meanwhile, where are you? Not on the clear surface of your ideas, but you have already sunk deeper, into darker regions, so that one only thinks one has been given all your thoughts, one only imagines you have emptied yourself in that clarity. But there are layers and layers - you're bottomless, unfathomable. Your clearness is deceptive. You are the thinker who arouses most confusion in me, most doubt, most disturbance.

• En verdad, una imaginación sabia, que es la presencia del espíritu de Dios, es la mejor guía que el hombre o la mujer pueden tener; porque no son las cosas que vemos más claramente las que nos influyen más poderosamente; las visiones indefinidas, pero vívidas, de algo más allá, algo que el ojo no ha visto ni el oído ha oído, tienen mucha más influencia que cualquier secuencia lógica por la que las mismas cosas puedan demostrarse al intelecto. Es la naturaleza de la cosa, no la claridad de su contorno, lo que determina su funcionamiento. Vivimos por la fe y no por la vista.

• It was about eleven o'clock in the morning, mid October, with the sun not shining and a look of hard wet rain in the clearness of the foothills. I was wearing my powder-blue suit, with dark blue shirt, tie and display handkerchief, black brogues, black wool socks with dark little clocks on them. I was neat, clean, shaved and sober, and I didn't care who knew it. I was everything the well-dressed private detective ought to be. I was calling on four million dollars.

• I believe there are techniques of the human mind whereby, in its dark deep, problems are examined, rejected or accepted. Such activities sometimes concern facets a man does not know he has. How often one goes to sleep troubled and full of pain, not knowing what causes the travail, and in the morning a whole new direction and a clearness is there, maybe the results of the black reasoning. And again there are mornings when ecstasy bubbles in the blood, and the stomach and chest are tight and electric with joy, and nothing in the thoughts to justify it or cause it.

• Ver al carnicero dar una palmada al filete antes de colocarlo en la cuadra y afilar el cuchillo fue como olvidar el desayuno al instante. También era agradable -lo era de verdad- verle cortarlo tan suave y jugoso. No había nada salvaje en el acto, aunque el cuchillo era grande y afilado; era una obra de arte, de alto arte; había delicadeza de tacto, claridad de tono, hábil manejo del tema, fino sombreado. Era el triunfo de la mente sobre la materia.

• Señor, ilumina a nuestros enemigos. Agudiza su ingenio, da agudeza a sus percepciones, y consecutividad y claridad a sus facultades de razonamiento: estamos en peligro por su locura, no por su sabiduría; su debilidad es lo que nos llena de aprensión, no su fuerza.

• En la claridad de este aire del Himalaya, las montañas se acercan, y en tal esplendor, las lágrimas acuden silenciosas a mis ojos y se refrescan en mis mejillas quemadas por el sol. no se trata de mera blandura mental, ni soy tan tonta con la altitud.Mi cabeza se ha despejado en estas semanas libres de intrusiones -correo, teléfonos, gente y sus necesidades- y respondo a las cosas espontáneamente, sin pantallas defensivas o cohibidas. Aun así, todo este sentimiento es asombroso: no hace mucho podía decir sinceramente que no había derramado una lágrima en veinte años.
