• You're not gonna get through life without being worshipful or devoted to something. You're either devoted to your job, or to your desires. So the best way to spend your life is to try to be devoted to prayer, to Allah.

• Una industria dedicada a servir al derecho del público a saber da a los hombres retorcidos y malvados los medios para darse a conocer. Este problema no es obviamente susceptible de solución, y ciertamente no es susceptible de solución legal. No es más fácil imaginar un régimen de regulación de los medios de comunicación que sea a la vez eficaz para prevenir los tiroteos masivos y coherente con la Constitución estadounidense que un régimen de regulación de las armas que cumpla los mismos criterios.

• Ringo, the last to become a Beatle, came into the group not because I wanted him, but because the boys did. To be completely honest, I was not at all keen to have him. I thought his drumming rather loud, his appearance unimpressive, and I could not see why he was important to the Beatles. But again I trusted their instincts and I am grateful now. He has become an excellent Beatle and a devoted friend. Ringo is warm and wry-witted, a good drummer, and I like him enormously. He is a very uncomplicated, very nice young man.

• My whole artistic life has been devoted to battling myself and my ability to externalize my deepest emotions. As I have gotten older, the work has become more direct, perhaps reflecting the fact that for the first time in my life I feel really free. I have been fascinated with wings all my life. I have had an obsession with transcendence, the need to push forward and metaphorically fly.

• You should rather suppose that those are involved in worthwhile duties who wish to have daily as their closest friends Zeno, Pythagoras, Democritus and all the other high priests of liberal studies, and Aristotle and Theophrastus. None of these will be too busy to see you, none of these will not send his visitor away happier and more devoted to himself, none of these will allow anyone to depart empty-handed. They are at home to all mortals by night and by day.

• No one was ever born without that light or flame of life. Some event, some person stifles or drowns it altogether. I was always tempted to resuscitate such men by my own joyousness or luminosity.When I break glasses in a night club, as the Russians do, when my unconscious breaks out in wild rebellions, it is against life which has crippled these idealistic, romantic men. I respect these men, cold, pure, faithful, devoted, moral, delicate, sensitive, and unequal to life, more than I respect the tough-minded ones who return three blows to one received, who kill those who hurt them.

  Anais Nin

• Muy pronto en mi vida me tomé en serio la cuestión de la relación entre el arte y la verdad: incluso ahora siento un santo temor ante esta discordancia. Mi primer libro estuvo dedicado a ello. El nacimiento de la tragedia cree en el arte sobre el trasfondo de otra creencia

• La cura para combatir las tres S -estrés, tensión y velocidad- puede encontrarse en tres W: el trabajo de la práctica devota, la sabiduría que se obtiene de la comprensión del yo y del mundo, y la adoración, porque, en última instancia, rendirse a lo que no podemos controlar permite al ego relajarse y perder la ansiedad de su propio yo infinitesimalmente pequeño en la infinitud de lo divino.
