• No creo en absoluto en la libertad humana en el sentido filosófico... El dicho de Schopenhauer: "Un hombre puede hacer lo que quiera, pero no querer lo que quiera", ha sido una inspiración muy real para mí desde mi juventud; ha sido un consuelo continuo ante las dificultades de la vida, las mías y las de los demás, y un manantial inagotable de tolerancia. Esta toma de conciencia mitiga el sentido de la responsabilidad, fácilmente paralizante, y nos impide tomarnos a nosotros mismos y a los demás demasiado en serio; favorece una visión de la vida que, en parte, da al humor lo que se merece.

  Albert Einstein

• Durante siglos, los místicos del espíritu han existido gracias a un negocio de protección: haciendo insoportable la vida en la tierra, cobrándote luego por el consuelo y el alivio, prohibiendo todas las virtudes que hacen posible la existencia, montándose sobre los hombros de tu culpa, declarando pecados la producción y la alegría, y cobrando luego el chantaje de los pecadores.

• I am never very forward in offering spiritual consolation to any one in distress or disease. I believe that such resources, to be of any service, must be self-evolved in the first instance. I am something of the Quaker's mind in this, and am inclined to wait for the spirit.

• To call out for the hand of the enemy is a rather extreme measure, yet a better one, I think, than to remain in continual fever over an accident that has no remedy. But since all the precautions that a man can take are full of uneasiness and uncertainty, it is better to prepare with fine assurance for the worst that can happen, and derive some consolation from the fact that we are not sure that it will happen.

• I've thought many times, 'I can't write this,' but on my own little planet I found the courage to write it because it was true. I put aside fear of Father being angry with me. It's hard though; the world pales in comparison with the stature of a parent. In some small-consolation way, my parents feel I'm helping people by giving them something to identify with. They feel proud in a sort of reverse way. My mom's proud of the fact that lots of kids look up to me.

  Billy Corgan

• And yet, even so, there is a way to find happiness. That is to be curious about all of the interlocking events that add up to our lives. To notice connections. To be amused or perhaps frightened by the ways things work out. If the universe is indifferent, what a consolation that we are not.
