• A medida que las corporaciones ganan en poder institucional autónomo y se desvinculan cada vez más de la gente y del lugar, el interés humano y el interés corporativo divergen cada vez más. Es casi como si estuviéramos siendo invadidos por seres alienígenas decididos a colonizar nuestro planeta, reducirnos a siervos y luego excluir al mayor número posible de nosotros.

• The idea of a detached art, of poetry as a charm which exists only to distract our leisure, is a decadent idea and an unmistakable symptom of our power to castrate.

• You can get so well educated in America that your thoughts become detached from common sense. You can get so complicated in your thinking that the obvious isn't real to you anymore.

• A Dream of Undying Fame is a probing, elegant and balanced book. Louis Breger shows how Freud’s traumatic childhood shaped his ambitious, detached and authoritarian personality, and led to the betrayal of his mentor, Josef Breuer. Breger’s analysis exposes a fascinating paradox: Freud both invented psychoanalysis and impoverished its development. A must-read for everyone interested in how ideas can change the world.

• Espera en Dios y Él obrará, pero no esperes enfurruñado espiritualmente porque no puedes ver ni un centímetro delante de ti. ¿Estamos lo suficientemente desapegados de nuestra histeria espiritual como para esperar en Dios? Esperar no es sentarse con las manos cruzadas, sino aprender a hacer lo que se nos dice.

  Oswald Chambers

• Si se esfuerza demasiado por cambiar el exterior, demuestra que sigue apegado. Si un hombre intenta ser desapegado, demuestra apego. ¿Por qué preocuparse por el desapego si no se está apegado? Si un hombre escapa de las mujeres, demuestra que el sexo sigue siendo la obsesión. De lo contrario, ¿por qué escapar de las mujeres si no estás obsesionado?

• No lo soporto. Demasiados amplificadores, demasiado volumen, es una agresión al oído. Las guitarras rápidas no me dejan indiferente, sino físicamente alterado. Cuando piensas en todas las sutilezas que se han incorporado a la guitarra y a los amplificadores para que las descubras, las cubren por completo con un montón de efectos. La guitarra no necesita eso.

• If you learn from Saint Thérèse to depend on God alone and serve him with a wholly pure and detached heart, then you can join with your whole soul in singing the jubilant song of the holy Virgin, “My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior. For he has done great things for me, and holy is his name.” And like little St. Thérèse you will be able to say at the end, “I do not regret that I have given myself to love.”

• Some young folks have wind-fall minds, prematurely detached from the tree of knowledge for a life-long sourness and pettiness.

• Glasgow no es un centro mediático. Cuando estás allí, cuando andas por ahí, te sientes bastante alejado de los movimientos musicales o de las modas o cosas por el estilo. Te sientes bastante solo, en el buen sentido.

• The point of departure for my creation was not primarily the destiny of the sixteen Carmelites of Compiègne but the figure of the young Blanche. In a historic sense she never lived, but she received the breath of life from my internal spirit, and she cannot be detached from the origin, which is hers. Born in the profound horror of a time darkened by the signs of destiny, this figure arose before me in some way as the embodiment of the mortal agony of an era going totally to its ruin.

• Christianity is Christ because there isn't anything else. There is no atonement that somehow can be detached from who the Lord Jesus is. There is no grace that can be attached to you transferred from Him. All there is, is Christ and your soul.

• It is a sexual violation. It’s disgusting. The law needs to be changed, and we need to change. That’s why these Web sites are responsible. Just the fact that somebody can be sexually exploited and violated, and the first thought that crosses somebody’s mind is to make a profit from it. It’s so beyond me. I just can’t imagine being that detached from humanity. I can’t imagine being that thoughtless and careless and so empty inside.

• Poems infatuated with their own smarts and detached from any emotional grounding can leave the reader feeling lonely, empty and ashamed for having expected more. Like icy adolescents, such poetry is more interested in commiserating than acknowledging that feelings — the sentiments that make us susceptible to sentimentality — actually exist.

• Participation is bliss because the whole universe is celebrating. Every moment it is celebrating. It is a great celebration, a constant celebration. Only we are not part of it. We have detached ourselves and are in misery. Man is in misery because of the mind. The flowers are participating in the celebration, the moon is participating, the stars are participating, the earth is participating, the oceans are participating, the air and the clouds - everything is participating in that continuous, eternal celebration.

  Rajneesh

• La tendencia de los liberales es crear cuerpos de hombres y mujeres -de todas las clases- desvinculados de la tradición, alejados de la religión y susceptibles de ser sugestionados por las masas. Y una turba no será menos turba si está bien alimentada, bien vestida, bien alojada y bien disciplinada.

  T. S. Eliot

• There is a period in one's life - perhaps not longer than six months - when one lives in two worlds at once ... It is the time when one has freshly learned to read. The Word, till then a denominating aspect of the Thing, has suddenly become detached from it and is perceived as a glittering entity, transparent and unseizable as a jellyfish, yet able to create an independent world that is both more recondite and more instantaneously convincing than the world one knew before.

• One cannot really know an other without intimacy. Detached, objective observations alone leave a surface upon which it is too easy to project one's own image or fantasies. In intimacy, one respectfully interacts with the other, invites the penetration of the other, enters into a common effort, and then the strange and distinct contours of self and other become more apparent.

• 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.
