• Sé prudente en tus negocios, porque el mundo está lleno de engaños. Pero que esto no te ciegue a la virtud que hay; muchas personas se esfuerzan por alcanzar altos ideales; y en todas partes la vida está llena de heroísmo.
  
  Sé tú mismo. Sobre todo, no finjas afecto. Tampoco seas cínico con el amor; pues frente a toda aridez y desencanto es tan perenne como la hierba.

• Año tras año, el mundo se desencanta cada vez más. Incluso la gélida intimidad de los círculos ártico y antártico se ve invadida. Hemos jugado a Jack Horner con nuestra tierra, hasta que ya no queda ni una ciruela en ella.

• The fate of our times is characterized by rationalization and intellectualization and, above all, by the 'disenchantment of the world.' Precisely the ultimate and most sublime values have retreated from public life either into the transcendental realm of mystic life or into the brotherliness of direct and personal human relations. It is not accidental that our greatest art is intimate and not monumental.

• I wrote The Philosophy of Disenchantment, which is, I think, the gloomiest and worst book ever published. Out of sheer laziness, I then produced a history of atheism, The Anatomy of Negation, which has been honored by international dislike. Need I state that of all my children it is the one that I prefer?

• All sorts of allowances are made for the illusions of youth, and none, or almost none for the disenchantment of age.

• He oído de mi padre y de mi madre todas las respuestas que la fe en Dios podía ofrecer a quienes dudan y buscan la verdad. En nuestro hogar y en muchos otros hogares las preguntas eternas eran más actuales que las últimas noticias del periódico yiddish. A pesar de todos los desencantos y de todo mi escepticismo creo que las naciones pueden aprender mucho de aquellos judíos, de su forma de pensar, de su manera de educar a los hijos, de encontrar la felicidad donde otros no ven más que miseria y humillación.

• Even as I'm shoveling up my hooter, I realize the sad truth. Coke bores me, It bores us all. We're jaded cunts, in a scene we hate, a city we hate, pretending that we're at the center of the universe, trashing ourselves with crap drugs to stave off the feeling that real life is happening somewhere else, aware that all we're doing is feeding that paranoia and disenchantment, yet somehow we're too apathetic to stop. Cause, sadly, there's nothing else of interest to stop for.

• In the event of a violent revolution, we would be sorely outnumbered. And when it was all over, the Negro would face the same unchanged conditions, the same squalor and deprivation-the only difference being that his bitterness would be even more intense, his disenchantment even more abject. Thus, in purely practical as well as moral terms, the American Negro has no rational alternative to nonviolence.

  Martin Luther King, Jr.

• Si yo tuviera influencia sobre el hada buena que se supone que preside el bautizo de todos los niños, le pediría que su regalo a cada niño del mundo fuera un sentido de la maravilla tan indestructible que perdurara durante toda la vida, como un antídoto infalible contra el aburrimiento y los desencantos de los últimos años, la preocupación estéril por las cosas artificiales, la alienación de las fuentes de nuestra fuerza.

• El amor propio es tan protector como la Deidad; el desencanto es tan perspicaz como un cirujano; la experiencia es tan providente como una madre. Tales son las virtudes teologales del matrimonio.

• If you search within your heart, you will find something there that will make it possible for you to understand: a spark of disenchantment and discontent, which if fanned into flame will become a raging forest fire that will burn up the whole of the illusory world you are living in, thereby unveiling to your wondering eyes the kingdom that you have always lived in unsuspectingly.

• As we have seen, the first public expression of disenchantment with nonviolence arose around the question of 'self-defense.' In a sense this is a false issue, for the right to defend one's home and one's person when attacked has been guaranteed through the ages by common law.

  Martin Luther King, Jr.

• Joining a radical movement when one is young is very much like falling in love when one is young. The girl may turn out to be rotten, but the the experience of love is so valuable it can never be entirely undone by the ultimate disenchantment.
