• Vuelve tu rostro hacia la Mezquita sagrada (Corán 2:144,149,150) Comentario: La palabra "sagrada" significa que un corazón que no se haya desprendido de la esfera del alma y de la esfera de los seres creados tiene prohibido penetrar en este lugar. . . . "Dondequiera que estés, vuelve tu rostro" [hacia la Mezquita sagrada] significa: "Dondequiera que estés, en la realización de las obras de adoración o en los actos ordinarios de la vida, contémplalo - en lo que comes, en lo que bebes, en aquel o aquella con quien te casas, sabiendo siempre que Él es a la vez el Contemplador y el Contemplado. . . ."

• In the state of nature, wrong-doing is impossible; or, if anyone does wrong, it is to himself, not to another. For no one by the law of nature is bound to please another, unless he chooses, nor to hold anything to be good or evil, but what he himself, according to his own temperament, pronounces to be so; and, to speak generally, nothing is forbidden by the law of nature, except what is beyond everyone's power.

• We've come a long way from having one land line that was forbidden to be answered during dinner. We had no answering machine, just a dad who barked, 'Who calls during dinner? If it's important, they'll call back.' He was right.

• Every life and every childhood is filled with frustrations; we cannot imagine it otherwise, for even the best mother cannot satisfy all her child's wishes and needs. It is not the suffering caused by frustration, however, that leads to emotional illness, but rather the fact that the child is forbidden by the parents to experience and articulate this suffering, the pain felt at being wounded.

• That evening she glowed. She gave off a vibration of energy that he suspected only he could detect. Do I do this to you?, he wondered, as he watched her eat. Or is this just the relief of being out from under the forbidden eye of that husband of yours?

• Las observaciones y los encuentros de un hombre solitario y taciturno son más vagos y al mismo tiempo más intensos que los de un hombre sociable; sus pensamientos son más profundos, más extraños y nunca exentos de un toque de tristeza. Imágenes y percepciones que podrían desecharse con una mirada, una risa, un intercambio de opiniones, le ocupan indebidamente, se hacen más intensas en el silencio, se vuelven significativas, se convierten en una experiencia, una aventura, una emoción. La soledad produce originalidad, belleza audaz y asombrosa, poesía. Pero la soledad también produce perversidad, lo desproporcionado, lo absurdo y lo prohibido.

• The beard, being a half-mask, should be forbidden by the police - It is, moreover, as a sexual symbol in the middle of the face, obscene: that is why it pleases women.

• Painters and sculptors under the Nazis often depicted the nude, but they were forbidden to show any bodily imperfections. Their nudes look like pictures in physique magazines: pinups which are both sanctimoniously asexual and (in a technical sense) pornographic, for they have the perfection of a fantasy.

• Dios, Satanás, el Paraíso y el Infierno desaparecieron un día, a los quince años, cuando perdí la fe de repente. ... y después, para probar mi nuevo ateísmo, me compré un sándwich de jamón bastante insípido, y así probé por primera vez la carne prohibida del cerdo. No llegó ningún rayo para fulminarme. ... Desde entonces me considero una persona totalmente laica.

• ¿No es el ateísmo una religión más? No, no lo es. El ateísmo no tiene credos, rituales, libros sagrados, códigos morales absolutos, mitos de origen, espacios sagrados ni santuarios. No tiene pecado, juicio divino, palabras prohibidas, oración, culto, profecía, privilegios de grupo ni líderes "santos" ungidos. Los ateos no creen en un mundo trascendente ni en una vida sobrenatural después de la muerte. Y lo que es más importante, no hay ortodoxia en el ateísmo.

• Vulnerability of artists is definitely what makes organizations like PEN necessary because, as I tried to argue, the actual work that writers and artists do has an ornery way of surviving. Particularly in this age of the internet, it is very easy for forbidden work to be found online somewhere if you know where to look. Artists themselves, however, are in increasing danger, and not just artists. The great concern is that year after year, rising numbers of journalists are being killed in pursuit of their work.

• Un sabio dijo una vez: "¿Cómo abriré mi corazón, oh amigo? Me está prohibido hablar. Estoy a punto de morir por falta de un alma afín que comprenda mi miseria.

• Let vice and immorality of every kind be discouraged as much as possible in your brigade; and, as a chaplain is allowed to each regiment, see that the men regularly attend during worship. Gaming of every kind is expressly forbidden, as being the foundation of evil, and the cause of many a brave and gallant officer's and soldier's ruin.

• The business of the state trying to legislate modesty is relatively both an infantile and ridiculous procedure. Of course, it is true that the more things are secreted the more intriguing they become, because it is always the forbidden that has the strongest appeal. Nudity is a state of fact - lewdity a state of mind.
