• La vida humana no es, pues, más que una ilusión perpetua; los hombres se engañan y se adulan mutuamente. Nadie habla de nosotros en nuestra presencia como lo hace en nuestra ausencia. La sociedad humana se funda en el engaño mutuo; pocas amistades perdurarían si cada uno supiera lo que su amigo dice de él en su ausencia, aunque entonces hable con sinceridad y sin pasión.

  Blaise Pascal

• In a language known to us, we have substituted the opacity of the sounds with the transparence of the ideas. But a language we donot know is a closed place in which the one we love can deceive us, making us, locked outside and convulsed in our impotence, incapable of seeing or preventing anything.

• Be very careful that you do not unconsciously assume that nervous tension is power. This is vital. Watch yourself the next time you work toward some goal. Look very closely to discover tense feelings and nervous thoughts whirling around inside. Do not let them deceive you into assuming that they are creative forces; they are not. They are thieves of genuine powers. As always, your awareness of their thievery is your first fine step toward casting them out.

  Vernon Howard

• La sonrisa que ilumina los rasgos de la belleza,
  cuando se enciende por la virtud, parece seductora;
  Pero las sonrisas, aunque seductoras, no pueden ser mágicas,
  Para competir con la suavidad de la belleza en las lágrimas.
  Las sonrisas más dulces suelen ser engañosas;
  Demasiado a menudo una máscara que el corazón frío lleva;
  Pero una lágrima es el vástago más sagrado del sentimiento,
  Y los monarcas son débiles ante la belleza de las lágrimas.

  Henry George Bohn

• Lo que hoy se llama música no es, con demasiada frecuencia, más que un disfraz del monólogo del poder. Sin embargo, y esta es la ironía suprema de todo, nunca antes los músicos se habían esforzado tanto por comunicarse con su público, y nunca antes esa comunicación había sido tan engañosa. Ahora la música apenas parece más que una excusa algo torpe para la autoglorificación de los músicos y el crecimiento de un nuevo sector industrial.
