• Growing up, my parents managed to show me the importance of reading without cramming it down my throat. A difficult task, I'm sure. It breaks my heart to think that there are kids out there, ready to have their imaginations lit on fire, excited and wanting to read, and facing naked shelves in their school or local libraries. Rather than complain or wait till the system stops failing our nation's children this is a matter I feel we must take into our own hands. There are children, right now, waiting-wanting to read. What shall we tell them>

• One of the great misconceptions about spiritual growth that develops in a lot of churches is that information alone is adequate to produce transformed human beings. So if we want to have a church of spiritually mature people, let's just keep cramming more and more information into them... Information alone is not adequate for the transformation of the human personality.

• Los estadounidenses dicen que somos desagradecidos, pero yo les pregunto, por el amor de Dios, por qué deberíamos estarles agradecidos: por asesinar a nuestros padres y madres... ¿O acaso quieren que les demos las gracias por encadenarnos y esposarnos, marcarnos, meternos fuego por la garganta, o por mantenernos en la esclavitud y golpearnos hasta casi matarnos para hacernos trabajar en la ignorancia y la miseria, para mantenerlos a ellos y a sus familias? Sin duda piensan que somos una pandilla de tontos.

• Los animales comparten con nosotros el privilegio de tener alma ¡Ay, qué maldad tragar carne en nuestra propia carne, engordar nuestros cuerpos codiciosos atiborrando otros cuerpos, hacer que una criatura viva se alimente de la muerte de otra! En medio de tanta riqueza como la que proporciona la tierra, la mejor de las madres, nada os satisface, sino comportaros como los cíclopes, infligiendo lamentables heridas con crueles dientes. No podéis aplacar las hambrientas ansias de vuestros malvados y glotones estómagos si no es destruyendo alguna otra vida.

  Pitágoras

• I do a lot of cardio. I think it's super important, especially for women. I don't have a tremendous amount of time to work out, so I find myself cramming in a cardio because that's all I can fit in. I think that if you don't have a lot of time, that it's the cleanest way to burn a few calories.

• It will not do merely to listen to great principles. You must apply them in the practical field, turn them into constant practice. What will be the good of cramming the high - sounding dicta of the scriptures? You have first to grasp the teachings of the Shastras, and then to work them out in practical life. Do you understand? This is called practical religion.

• When the blackberries hang swollen in the woods, in the brambles nobody owns, I spend all day among the high branches, reaching my ripped arms, thinking of nothing, cramming the black honey of summer into my mouth; all day my body accepts what it is. In the dark creeks that run by there is this thick paw of my life darting among the black bells, the leaves; there is this happy tongue.
