• A man may doubt of God's existence when he is in good health, just as he may doubt whether his relation with a harlot is sinful. When he falls ill, when dropsy develops, he leaves his concubine, and he believes in God.

• Making prostitution legalized gives our society a message that sex is not sacred/private between two adults - that sex can be bought and sold just like any object. But prostitutes are people, not objects to be consumed, used and discarded like trash when they are no longer doing what each client/trafficker wants.

• Cuando se descubre la verdad, el artista siempre se aferrará con mirada embelesada a lo que aún queda cubriendo incluso después de ese descubrimiento; pero el hombre teórico disfruta y encuentra satisfacción en la cubierta descartada y encuentra el objeto más elevado de su placer en el proceso de un descubrimiento siempre feliz que tiene éxito gracias a sus propios esfuerzos.

• make it a practice to avoid hating anyone. If someone's been guilty of despicable actions, especially toward me, I try to forget him. I used to follow a practice - somewhat contrived, I admit - to write the man's name on a piece of scrap paper, drop it into the lowest drawer of my desk, and say to myself: "That finishes the incident, and so far as I'm concerned, that fellow." The drawer became over the years a sort of private wastebasket for crumbled-up spite and discarded personalities.

• Si buscas la realidad debes liberarte de todos los orígenes, de todas las culturas, de todos los patrones de pensamiento y sentimiento. Incluso la idea de ser hombre o mujer, o incluso humano, debe ser descartada. El océano de la vida lo contiene todo, no sólo a los humanos. Así que, en primer lugar, abandona toda autoidentificación, deja de pensar en ti mismo como tal o cual, esto o aquello. Abandona toda preocupación por ti mismo, no te preocupes por tu bienestar, material o espiritual, abandona todo deseo, burdo o sutil, deja de pensar en logros de cualquier tipo. Estás completo aquí y ahora, no necesitas absolutamente nada.

• One area of law more than any other besmirches the constitutional vision of human dignity. . . . The barbaric death penalty violates our Constitution. Even the most vile murderer does not release the state from its obligation to respect dignity, for the state does not honor the victim by< emulating his murderer. Capital punishment's fatal flaw is that it treats people as objects to be toyed with and discarded. . . . One day the Court will outlaw the death penalty. Permanently.

• It's how creativity works. Especially in humans. For every good idea, ten thousand idiotic ones must first be posed, sifted, tried out, and discarded. A mind that's afraid to toy with the ridiculous will never come up with the brilliantly original.

• Miro fijamente el montón de restos desechados y pienso en mi madre. ¿Tocó ella ese pilar? ¿Aún perdura su olor en un fragmento de cristal o en una astilla de madera? Un terrible vacío se instala en mi pecho. Por mucho que siga viviendo, siempre hay pequeños recuerdos que hacen que la pérdida vuelva a ser reciente.

• No nos engañan sus pretensiones de piedad. Ya hemos visto a los de su calaña. Son los herederos de todas las ideologías asesinas del siglo XX. Al sacrificar la vida humana para servir a sus visiones radicales -al abandonar todo valor excepto la voluntad de poder- siguen el camino del fascismo, del nazismo y del totalitarismo. Y seguirán ese camino hasta el final: en la tumba sin nombre de las mentiras desechadas de la historia.

• Working with Emeco has allowed me to use a recycled material and transform it into something that never needs to be discarded - a tireless and unbreakable chair to use and enjoy for a lifetime. It is a chair you never own, you just use it for a while until it is the next persons turn. A great chair never should have to be recycled. This is good consideration of nature and man kind.

• The idea that the bumps or depressions on a man's head indicate the presence or absence of certain moral characteristics in his mental equipment is one of the absurdities developed from studies in this field that has long since been discarded by science. The ideas of the phrenologist Gall, however ridiculous they may now seem in the light of a century's progress, were nevertheless destined to become metamorphosed into the modern principles of cerebral localization.

• No debemos considerar nuestros pecados como nimiedades insignificantes. Por otra parte, no debemos considerarlos tan terribles que debamos desesperar. Aprende a creer que Cristo fue dado, no por transgresiones insignificantes e imaginarias, sino por pecados montañosos; no por uno o dos, sino por todos; no por pecados que pueden ser desechados, sino por pecados que están obstinadamente arraigados.

• When grown-up persons indulge in practical jokes, the fact gauges them. They have lived narrow, obscure, and ignorant lives, and at full manhood they still retain and cherish a job lot of left-over standards and ideals that would have been discarded with their boyhood if they had then moved out into the world and a broader life.
