• Those who die, merely suffering the woes of life like cats and dogs, are they human beings? The worthy are those who, even when agitated by the sharp interaction of pleasure and pain, are discriminating and, knowing them to be of an evanescent nature, become passionately devoted to the Atman. This is all the difference between human beings and animals.

• Casi he llegado a la lamentable conclusión de que el gran obstáculo del negro en su camino hacia la libertad no es el Consejero Ciudadano Blanco o el Ku Klux Klanner, sino el blanco moderado que es más devoto del orden que de la justicia; que prefiere una paz negativa, que es la ausencia de tensión, a una paz positiva, que es la presencia de la justicia.

  Martin Luther King, Jr.

• La Naturaleza no tiene más que un plan de funcionamiento, invariablemente el mismo tanto en las cosas más pequeñas como en las más grandes, y tan a menudo vemos que las masas más pequeñas son seleccionadas para su uso en la Naturaleza, que incluso las enormes se construyen únicamente encajándolas unas con otras. En efecto, todos los esfuerzos de la Naturaleza están dedicados a unir las partes más pequeñas de nuestros cuerpos, de tal manera que todas las cosas, por diversas que sean, que confluyen en la estructura de los seres vivos construyen las partes por medio de una especie de compendio.

  Marcello Malpighi

• So, preferring death to capture, I accomplished the most astonishing deeds, and which, more then once, showed me that the too great care we take of our bodies is the only obstacle to the sucess of those projects which require rapid decision, and vigorous and determined execution. In reality, when you have once devoted your life to your enterprises, you are no longer the equal of other men, or, rather, other men are no longer your equals, and whosoever has taken this resolution, feels his strength and resources doubled.

• Es parte de la ironía de la vida que los sentimientos más fuertes de devota gratitud de los que la naturaleza humana parece ser susceptible, se despiertan en los seres humanos hacia aquellos que, teniendo el poder de aplastar por completo su existencia terrenal, voluntariamente se abstienen de usar ese poder.

• Sólo un gran hombre, créanme, y uno cuya excelencia se eleva muy por encima de los defectos humanos, no permitirá que se le robe nada de su propio lapso de tiempo, y su vida es muy larga precisamente porque ha dedicado a sí mismo por entero todo el tiempo que estuvo disponible. Nada de ese tiempo estaba sin cultivar y ocioso, nada estaba bajo el control de otro hombre, porque guardándolo celosamente, no encontró nada que valiera la pena intercambiar por su precioso tiempo.

• I've always made things either paintings, drawing, photographs, or writing. It's all kind of the same thing. It all involves saying more, I guess. It involves separating life, breaking off this chunk that's devoted to making something. There's a lot of pleasure in that, but there can also be a lot of struggle. There's always this fantasy that you could just live life and not have to think about it.

• The obsessive documentation is itself adjacent to hyper-consumption in our society. The desire to just have everything all the time and adjacent to that is - it might be a little hokey but - a certain loss of identity that then only gets sort of found or ascribed to these moments that are documented. If so much of your experience is devoted to the thought of documentation, you're already sort of spinning out this narrative from this moment that you are attempting to control instead of just experiencing it.

• It is true that infidelity cannot withstand the force of reason and argument; but true godly example can come nearer the lifespot of religion. It knocks at the door of the heart. If the truths of Christianity were seconded by the devoted and pious lives of all her professed disciples, the unbelief of the world would soon cease. Private example of godliness is what the world most needs.
