• I think we too often make choices based on the safety of cynicism, and what we're lead to is a life not fully lived. Cynicism is fear, and it's worse than fear - it's an active disengagement.

• The talk of winning our share is not the easy one of disengagement and flight, but the hard one of work, of short as well as long jumps, of disappointments, and of sweet success.

• La justificación moral es un poderoso mecanismo de desvinculación. La conducta destructiva se hace personal y socialmente aceptable presentándola al servicio de fines morales. Por eso la mayoría de los llamamientos contra los medios violentos suelen caer en saco roto.

• To say that the cosmos was expanding is equally to say that its members were contracting. The ultimate centers of power, each at first coincident... themselves generated the cosmical space by their disengagement from each other.

• Unless you learn to play a duet in the same key, to the same rhythm, a slow process of disengagement will wedge you apart, first secretly, psychologically, and then openly and miserably.

• Disengagement is a response to certain demographic realities, .. Within a few years, due to the higher Arab birth rate, Jews will become a minority in the area between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. I don't want [Israel] to be South Africa because we don't believe in apartheid. We simply have to separate from the Palestinians so that we can control our own destinies.

• I think the act of reading imbues the reader with a sensitivity toward the outside world that people who don't read can sometimes lack. I know it seems like a contradiction in terms; after all reading is such a solitary, internalizing act that it appears to represent a disengagement from day-to-day life. But reading, and particularly the reading of fiction, encourages us to view the world in new and challenging ways...It allows us to inhabit the consciousness of another which is a precursor to empathy, and empathy is, for me, one of the marks of a decent human being.

• No es difícil concebir, sin embargo, que por muchas razones un hombre escriba mucho mejor de lo que vive. Porque, sin entrar en especulaciones refinadas, puede demostrarse que es mucho más fácil diseñar que realizar. Un hombre propone sus esquemas de vida en un estado de abstracción y desentendimiento, exento de las seducciones de la esperanza, las solicitudes del afecto, las importunidades del apetito o las depresiones del miedo.

• La oración puede parecer al principio un desentendimiento, un tiempo de reflexión para considerar el punto de vista de Dios. Pero ese punto de vista nos empuja a cumplir la voluntad de Dios, la obra del Reino. Somos colaboradores de Dios y, como tales, recurrimos a la oración para equiparnos para la colaboración.

• Learning to pause is the first step in the practice of Radical Acceptance. A pause is a suspension of activity, a time of temporary disengagement when we are no longer moving toward any goal ... The pause can occur in the midst of almost any activity and can last for an instant, for hours or for seasons of our life ... You might try it now: Stop reading and sit there, doing 'no thing,' and simply notice what you are experiencing.

• I was surprised. I'd always associated belief in heaven with, frankly, a kind of intellectual disengagement. But Gus wasn't dumb.

• Years of research show us that the less control a person feels over an aversive stimuli coming at them, the more likely they are to disengage. Complete loss of control over a sustained period of time can actually lead to depression. It then follows that giving the person a level of control over the situation reduce the stress - and perhaps restore the disengagement.

• Many young Muslims see no opportunities for themselves and do not feel they have control over their lives or a stake in their nation's future. Such pessimism leads to disengagement. We risk losing a generation of young Muslims to apathy and extremism.

• After the death of the sadistic dictator Gen. Sanni Abacha in 1998, Nigeria underwent a one-year transitional military administration headed by Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar, who uncharacteristically bowed out precisely on the promised date for military disengagement. Did the military truly disengage, however? No.

• En toda combustión hay desprendimiento de la materia del fuego o de la luz. Un cuerpo sólo puede arder en aire puro [oxígeno]. No hay destrucción ni descomposición del aire puro y el aumento de peso del cuerpo quemado es exactamente igual al peso del aire destruido o descompuesto. El cuerpo quemado se transforma en ácido por adición de la sustancia que aumenta su peso. El aire puro es un compuesto de la materia del fuego o de la luz con una base. En la combustión, el cuerpo quemado elimina la base, que atrae con más fuerza que la materia del calor, que aparece como llama, calor y luz.
