• Si la religión está hecha por el hombre es una cuestión para filósofos o teólogos. Pero las formas están hechas por el hombre. Son una respuesta humana a algo. Como historiador de las religiones, me interesan esas expresiones.

• Señora del amor o del odio, la ciencia oculta puede dispensar a su antojo el paraíso o el infierno a los corazones humanos; dispone de todas las formas y confiere belleza o fealdad; con la varita de Circe cambia a los hombres en brutos y a los animales alternativamente en hombres.

• Hemos oído hablar mucho de la poesía de las matemáticas, pero hasta ahora se ha cantado muy poco. Los antiguos tenían una noción más justa de su valor poético que nosotros. Las afirmaciones más claras y bellas de cualquier verdad deben adoptar finalmente la forma matemática. Podríamos simplificar de tal modo las reglas de la filosofía moral, así como las de la aritmética, que una fórmula las expresaría a ambas.

• Debes fijarte en ciertas paredes manchadas de humedad, o en piedras de color desigual. Si tienes que inventar algunos fondos podrás ver en ellos la semejanza de paisajes divinos, adornados con montañas, ruinas, rocas, bosques, grandes llanuras, colinas y valles en gran variedad; y expresiones de rostros y ropas y una infinidad de cosas que podrás reducir a sus formas completas y propias. En tales muros sucede lo mismo que en el sonido de las campanas, en cuyo trazo puedes encontrar todas las palabras con nombre que puedas imaginar.

  Leonardo da Vinci

• Common integration is only the memory of differentiation... The different artifices by which integration is effected, are changes, not from the known to the unknown, but from forms in which memory does not serve us to those in which it does.

  Augustus De Morgan

• On this simple unit-system [of building blocks] ruled on the low table-top all these forms were combined by the child into imaginative patter. Design was recreation! ...The virtue of all this lay in the awakening of the childmind to rhythmic structure in Nature - giving the child a sense of innate cause-and-effect otherwise far beyond child-comprehension.

  Frank Lloyd Wright

• "Cynicism," like "heresy" and "heterodoxy" and "atheism" and "agnosticism" and "paganism" and "heathenism," is above all else a way for organized orthodoxy's caste of official censors to encyst and segregate and thus neutralize all contrarian forms of seeing and thinking, all (necessarily implicitly) prohibited and repressed ways of exercising disruptive and iconoclastic intuition and intellection (for to analyze and explain these things too openly is to give them publicity and potential cogency when the point is to asphyxiate them).

  Kenny Smith

• I am caught in a terrific bind of characterologically and rationally needing to think in the most comprehensive terms possible, forming a continuous system of argument with a gradient that runs from concrete to abstract, and unfortunately being caught also in a culture in which hardly anyone seems capable of applying himself to understand such a demanding form of argumentation.

  Kenny Smith

• Some form of gnosis or immediacy is attached to all thinking as its root-form or primitive origination; every act of thinking has this passive derivation, this coming-into-being of thinking not out of nothing (as it likes to imagine) but out of some unthinkable something. But the most self-abstractivist or self-reductivist kind of thinking cannot tolerate even the notion (much less the traumatic experience or confrontation) of an incurable pathos, a weakness or blind-spot, within consciousness. The very idea is an insult to the autonomy or self-determinability of ego/will/reason.

  Kenny Smith

• Academia is alas full of special interests and specialists who presumed it was possible to "leapfrog" over this or that entire line of development. These minds hoped to distance themselves from the pernicious vices of a whole way of thinking, but of course at the same time excluded all of its virtues too. Modern abstractivism in its simplex form (which does not preclude a high degree of articulate facility within the ambit of what is preconceived and accepted).

• Como siempre, la ilusión de autotrascendencia es mucho más fácil y disponible que la propia autotrascendencia: en la gran mayoría de los casos, a lo que se abre la conciencia humana es simplemente a una forma más abarcadora de finitud (otra ilusión o engaño cautivador).

• La anoréxica es el fusible desnudo expuesto al poder directo de los medios de comunicación modernos, una psique cuyo cableado carece de aislamiento. El anoréxico es un análogo del ideólogo, que está igualmente desprovisto de sentido común, ego independiente, cultura, inteligencia intuitiva, etc.: todo lo que el ideólogo tiene para orientarse son las directrices formalistas o abstractivistas incrustadas en la moderna cultura de masas. Ambos son formas del Verdadero Creyente, mentes en las que los factores de la vida autoactiva se reducen a la insignificancia y reina el patetismo.

• La sociedad moderna neutra en valores (Gesellschaft en lugar de Gemeinschaft) es una depredación sistematizada atemperada no por la conciencia o los valores, sino meramente por un sistema de derecho, que no está menos corrompido por los intereses privados y sus propias formas de depredación. En la modernidad, el sofisma está a la orden del día, lo que obliga a sus practicantes más adeptos a aprender a desarrollar el arte de aparentar lo que no se es.

• Misfortune occurs or can occur to anyone, of any sort of character. The eudaimonic has more resources to avoid it (being in autonomous control of his appetites and assumptions) and more resources to deal with it if it occurs (being better able to put it in perspective and maintain his own evenness of self-mastery). Tragedy as a dramatic form is meant to foster the ethos of sophrosyne or moderation, "nothing to excess"; it nurtures a sense of distance from the dominant illusions and delusions that may infect even aristoi.

  Kenny Smith

• Thinking is the subtlest form of self-polemics, the art of a certain finesse in psychological self-vivisection and self-crucifixion (Hegel of course called the path of self-disillusion the via dolorosa or "highway of despair," in Baillie's fine and florid rendering, like Jesus' route to Golgotha).

• We have lived through fear all our lives, and when you have gone through a whole lot of fear, sometimes all you can do is resist the fear, and resistance comes in the form of courage.

• There may have been somewhere, as a few eighteenth-century philosophers dreamed, a group of peaceful men who got together one evening after work and drew up a Social Contract to form the state. But nobody has been able to find an actual record of it. Practically all the governments whose origins are historically established were the result of conquest-of one tribe by another, one city by another, one people by another. Of course there have been constitutional conventions, but they merely changed the working rules of governments already in being.

  Henry Hazlitt

• Listening, not imitation, may be the sincerest form of flattery. . . . If you want to influence someone, listen to what he says. . . . When he finishes talking, ask him about any points that you do not understand.

• La sociedad está infectada de personas groseras, cínicas, inquietas y frívolas que se aprovechan de los demás, y a las que ninguna opinión pública concentrada en las buenas maneras, formas aceptadas por el sentido común de todos, puede alcanzar; los contradictores y rijosos en las mesas públicas y privadas, que son como terriers, que conciben como deber de un perro de honor gruñir a cualquier transeúnte, y hacer los honores de la casa ladrándole hasta perderlo de vista.
