• Caía la noche. Los pájaros cantaban. Se me ocurrió decir que los pájaros estaban celebrando frenéticamente el final del día. Se manifestaban como las terminaciones nerviosas de colores brillantes de la Tierra, el descenso del sol las impulsaba a la actividad, las llenaba individualmente de néctar de vida, el néctar de vida pasaba luego al mundo, salía de cada pico, en forma del canto distintivo de ese pájaro, que era, a su vez, un accidente de la forma del pico, la forma de la garganta, la configuración del pecho, la química del cerebro: algunos pájaros bendecían la voz, otros maldecían; algunos chirriaban, otros se extasiaban.

• That a country, [England], eminently distinguished for its mechanical and manufacturing ingenuity, should be indifferent to the progress of inquiries which form the highest departments of that knowledge on whose more elementary truths its wealth and rank depend, is a fact which is well deserving the attention of those who shall inquire into the causes that influence the progress of nations.

• Los cristianos que protagonizaron infames persecuciones y vergonzosas inquisiciones no eran hombres malvados, sino equivocados. Los eclesiásticos que creían tener un edicto de Dios para oponerse al progreso de la ciencia, ya fuera en forma de revolución copernicana o de teoría darwiniana de la selección natural, no eran hombres malvados, sino hombres mal informados. Y así, las palabras de Cristo desde la cruz están escritas en términos afilados a través de algunas de las tragedias más inexpresables de la historia: "No saben lo que hacen".

• We can form no idea of the millions of pounds that are spent every year in the making of dress in the West. The dress-making business has become a regular science. What colour of dress will suit with the complexion of the girl and the colour of her hair, what special feature of her body should be disguised, and what displayed to the best advantage-these and many other like important points, the dressmakers have seriously to consider. Again, the dress that ladies of very high position wear, others have to wear also, otherwise they lose their caste! This is FASHION.

• ...should We consent to an order of Cincinnati consisting of all the Officers of the Army & Citizens of Consiquence in the united States; how easy the Transition from a Republican to any other Form of Government, however despotic! & how rediculous to exchange a british Administration, for one that would be equally tyrannical, perhaps much more so? this project may answer the End of Courts that aim at making Us subservient to their political purposes, but can never be consistent with the Dignity or Happiness of the united States.

• I lay there for three whole days, totally paralyzed. My friends helped me to the bathroom and anywhere else I needed to move; but I have very vague impressions of those days because it was a time of complete darkness for me. Somebody told me later that what I had was a form of hysteria: my body and my mid fled into paralysis. There was nothing wrong with me organically, but somewhere inside I suffered a complete breakdown.

• Outlawing religion form the political arena is not what the Founding Fathers intended when they drafted the First Amendment. We do a grave disservice to our country by removing the influence of religion. If you separate God from the public arena, inevitably you separate good from our government.

• Wouldn't it be wonderful if you could spare them from all suffering? No, it wouldn't. They would not evolve as human beings and would remain shallow, identified with the external form of things. Suffering drives you deeper. The paradox is that suffering is caused by identification with form and erodes identification with form. A lot of it is caused by the ego, although eventually suffering destroys the ego-but not until you suffer consciously.

  Eckhart Tolle
