• True nonattachment is understanding that you are fundamentally attached to everything and, through that understanding, dropping your attachment to the view that you are detached from that which you encounter. At the same time, real nonattachment means not clinging to things or people. It means dropping the idea that if you don't have this or if you can't get that, your life will be a catastrophe.

• La esclavitud destruye, vicia o contamina todo lo que toca. Ningún interés de la sociedad escapa a la influencia de su maldición. Hace de la religión sureña un hedor en las narices de la cristiandad; hace de la política sureña una calumnia contra todos los principios del republicanismo; hace de la literatura sureña una parodia de la honorable profesión de las letras.

• Finnick!" Something between a shriek and a cry of joy. A lovely if somewhat bedraggled young woman--dark tangled hair, sea green eyes--runs toward us in nothing but a sheet. "Finnick!" And suddenly, it's as if there's no one in the world but these two, crashing through space to reach each other. They collide, enfold, lose their balance, and slam against a wall, where they stay. Clinging into one being. Indivisible. A pang of jealousy hits me. Not for either Finnick or Annie but for their certainty. No one seeing them could doubt their love.

• Soy como el tiempo, nunca puedes predecir realmente cuándo va a estallar esa nube de lluvia; cuándo es el máximo o el mínimo, cuándo podrías necesitar una chaqueta ligera. A veces soy el aguanieve que se pega a los bajos de tus pantalones de trabajo, pero fácilmente puedo ser los copos de nieve derritiéndose que se aferran a tus largas pestañas. Sé que a algunas personas les gusta: soleado y setenta y cinco, soleado y setenta y cinco, soleado y setenta y cinco, pero tú me tomas como soy y nunca te olvidas de meter un paraguas en la maleta.

• There is nothing more American than brutal violence. The country was built on it, revels in it and shows every evidence of clinging to it with the crazed, destructive strength of an obsessive lover.

• To worry is to become accessible, unwittingly accessible. And once you worry you cling to anything out of desperation; and once you cling you are bound to get exhausted or to exhaust whoever or whatever you are clinging to.

• A medida que aprendas a observar conscientemente el proceso de transformación, te verás repitiendo un montón de viejos patrones mucho después de que aparentemente lo sepas mejor. Espiritual e intelectualmente, te das cuenta de que hay otro camino, pero emocionalmente sigues aferrado a los viejos hábitos. Es un momento difícil. Intenta ser paciente y compasivo contigo mismo. Cuando reconoces la inutilidad de un viejo patrón tan claramente, ¡estás a punto de cambiar! Al poco tiempo, empezarás a responder de forma diferente, más positiva.

• CUANDO dos amantes están haciendo el amor, y si ambos son el no-ser, la nada, entonces se produce una sensación placentera espontánea. Entonces su energía corporal, todo su ser, pierde toda identidad; ya no son ellos mismos, han caído en el abismo. Pero esto puede ocurrir sólo por un momento: de nuevo se recuperan, de nuevo empiezan a aferrarse. Por eso la gente tiene miedo en el amor".

  Rajneesh

• My faith has helped me to adjust to life whether I was a small farm boy, a submarine officer, governor, president or an ex-president.

• When you have learned, through discipline, to simplify your life, and so practiced the mindfulness of meditation, and through it loosened the hold of aggression, clinging, and negativity on your whole being, the wisdom of insight can slowly dawn. And in the all-revealing clarity of its sunlight, this insight can show you, distinctly and directly, both the subtlest workings of your own mind and the nature of reality.

• Some people get into this business and they're so afraid to lose anything. They try to protect their position like clinging to a beachhead. These Actor s end up making really safe choices. I never wanted to go that route. If I go down, I'm going down swinging. I know that's the way Heath Ledger feels and Ben Affleck feels the same way, too. We want to take the big swings.
