• But the lack of faith could just as well be a crutch for non-believers, allowing them to live their lives without any concept of accountability and giving them some sort of false confidence.

• Poetry is only secondarily about words. Primarily, it is about truth. I dealt with the Ding an Sich, the substance behind the shadow, weaving powerful concepts, similes, and connections the way an engineer would raise a skyscraper with the whiskered-alloy skeleton being constructed long before the glass and plastic and chromaluminum appears.

• It seems to me the worst possible concept, militarily, that we would simply stay there, resisting aggression, so-called...it seems to me that the way to "resist aggression" is to destroy the potentialities of the aggressor to continually hit you...When you say, merely, "we are going to continue to fight aggression," that is not what the enemy is fighting for. The enemy is fighting for a very definite purpose-to destroy our forces.

• Maybe time is nothing at all like a straight line. Perhaps it's shaped like a twisted doughnut. But for tens of thousands of years, people have probably been seeing time as a straight line that continues on forever. And that's the concept they based their actions on. And until now they haven't found anything inconvenient or contradictory about it. So as an experiential model, it's probably correct.

• The concept of 'talent' is formed under completely abstract criteria, having nothing in common with reality. But the reality is such that I don't understand chess as a whole. But then again no one understands chess in its entirety. Perhaps talent is something else, in chess it is conditionality.

• Los órganos de los sentidos, de alcance y capacidad limitados, recogen información al azar. Esta información parcial se ordena en juicios, que se basan en juicios anteriores, que suelen basarse en las ideas tontas de otra persona. A continuación, estos conceptos e ideas falsos se almacenan en un sistema de memoria altamente selectivo.

• La hospitalidad es siempre un acto que beneficia más al anfitrión que al huésped. El concepto de hospitalidad surgió en la antigüedad, cuando la reciprocidad era más fácil de ver: en las culturas nómadas, la comida y el cobijo que uno daba ayer a un forastero es la comida y el cobijo que uno espera recibir de un forastero mañana. Al ofrecer hospitalidad, se participa en el interminable retejido de un tejido social del que todos pueden depender: así, el regalo de sustento para el huésped se convierte en un regalo de esperanza para el anfitrión.

• To find this greater truth about God, Spirit, and the sacred, we must often set aside the limiting impressions from our childhood. In many instances these images of fear only serve to hold us back in our search for authentic spirituality...Open up your mind and heart to a concept of Spirit who looks out for us, loves us, sheds light on our path, and wants nothing less for us than unconditional happiness.
