• Thus science strips off, one after the other, the more or less gross materialisations by which we endeavour to form an objective image of the soul, till men of science, speculating, in their non-scientific intervals, like other men on what science may possibly lead to, have prophesied that we shall soon have to confess that the soul is nothing else than a function of certain complex material systems.

• Oh! might I kiss those eyes of fire, A million scarce would quench desire; Still would I steep my lips in bliss, And dwell an age on every kiss; Nor then my soul should sated be, Still would I kiss and cling to thee: Nought should my kiss from thine dissever, Still would we kiss and kiss for ever; E'en though the numbers did exceed The yellow harvest's countless seed; To part would be a vain endeavour: Could I desist? -ah! never-never.

• Mathematics never reveals man to the degree, never expresses him in the way, that any other field of human endeavour does: the extent of the negation of man's corporeal self that mathematics achieves cannot be compared with anything. Whoever is interested in this subject I refer to my articles. Here I will say only that the world injected its patterns into human language at the very inception of that language; mathematics sleeps in every utterance, and can only be discovered, never invented.

• No soy un orador ni un predicador. No tengo la misión de cambiar el mundo. No tengo palabras ni enseñanzas originales que dar a nadie. Reflejo sólo lo que he visto y oído, lo más ordinario, lo muy común. No siento fascinación por las ideas y actividades nuevas. El entusiasmo por los esfuerzos mundanos ha desaparecido. Para mí, los pensamientos, las palabras y los hechos, las actividades de la vida, no son más que utensilios para servir el "prasad" del Ser.

• Para mí, explorar el lado oscuro es un esfuerzo artístico normal. Desde luego, no soy el único. Por lo general, a los artistas no les gusta aceptar la versión de la realidad que les dan la sociedad y la cultura. Quieren saber lo que pasa de verdad. Así que siempre hay que mirar en los techos, bajo las tablas del suelo y detrás de las paredes, intentando encontrar los mecanismos, las estructuras y la verdad. Creo que eso te lleva a menudo a lugares oscuros.

  David Cronenberg

• All these delusions of Divination have their root and foundation from Astrology. For whether the lineaments of the body, countenance, or hand be inspected, whether dream or vision be seen, whether marking of entrails or mad inspiration be consulted, there must be a Celestial Figure first erected, by the means of whole indications, together with the conjectures of Signs and Similitudes, they endeavour to find out the truth of what is desired.

  Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa

• Give us grace and strength to forbear and to persevere. Give us courage and gaiety, and the quiet mind. Spare to us our friends, soften to us our enemies. Bless us, if it may be, in all our innocent endeavours. If it may not, give us the strength to encounter that which is to come, that we may be brave in peril, constant in tribulation, temparate in wrath, and in all changes of fortune, and down to the gates of death, loyal and loving to one another.

• La historia de los descubrimientos científicos tiene su propia unidad épica -una unidad de propósito y esfuerzo-, la antorcha única que pasa de mano en mano a través de los siglos; y los grandes momentos de la ciencia en los que, tras un largo trabajo, los pioneros ven cómo los hechos acumulados caen en un orden significativo -a veces en forma de una ley que revoluciona todo el mundo del pensamiento- tienen un intenso interés humano y pertenecen esencialmente a la imaginación creadora de la poesía.
