• La próxima vez que te desanimes y no puedas soportar experimentar lo que sientes, podrías recordar esta instrucción: cambia tu forma de verlo e inclínate hacia ello. En lugar de culpar de nuestro malestar a las circunstancias externas o a nuestra propia debilidad, podemos optar por permanecer presentes y despiertos a nuestra experiencia, sin rechazarla, sin aferrarnos a ella, sin tragarnos las historias que nos contamos sin descanso. Es un consejo inestimable que aborda la verdadera causa del sufrimiento: el tuyo, el mío y el de todos los seres vivos.

• La pasión libre es radiación sin radiador, un calor fluido y penetrante que fluye sin esfuerzo. No es destructiva porque es un estado de ser equilibrado y muy inteligente. La autoconciencia inhibe este estado de ser inteligente y equilibrado. Al abrirnos, al dejar de aferrarnos a nosotros mismos, no sólo vemos la superficie de un objeto, sino que lo vemos en su totalidad.

• There is no final solution to loneliness until you recognize that you need the resources which are in yourself to enpy, within limits, being alone being the kind of person that you like to be with, and reaching out to others, not in a grasping way, but in an attempt to be meaningful and loving and of service in their lives.

• Saco la concha del bolsillo de mis vaqueros y froto con los dedos su superficie sedosa y dentada, superficial como mi propia mano abierta. Este cáliz, sutilmente moldeado por alguna inteligencia divina para permitir que el agua entre y salga con facilidad, es en lo que aspiro a convertirme: un recipiente a través del cual los sentimientos puedan entrar y salir de nuevo, sin todos los agarres y retenciones que obstruyen el flujo. ¿Puedo ser tan serena y sencilla como esta cáscara blanqueada, alisada por el viento y el agua, recibiendo y soltando, llenando y vaciando y volviendo a llenar, eternamente receptiva a las corrientes de la vida?

• You say what you want to say when you don't care who's listening. If you're grasping to get your own voice, you're making a strained attempt to talk, so it's a matter of just listening to yourself as you sound when you're talking about something that's intensely important to you.

  Allen Ginsberg

• In the field one has to face a chaos of facts, some of which are so small that they seem insignificant; others loom so large that they are hard to encompass with one synthetic glance. But in this crude form they are not scientific facts at all; they are absolutely elusive, and can be fixed only by interpretation, by seeing them sub specie aeternitatis, by grasping what is essential in them and fixing this. Only laws and generalizations are scientific facts, and field work consists only and exclusively in the interpretation of the chaotic social reality, in subordinating it to general rules.

  Bronislaw Malinowski

  Science, Reality, Law

• ...any belief in supernatural creators, rulers, or influencers of natural or human process introduces an irreparable split into the universe, and prevents us from grasping its real unity. Any belief in Absolutes, whether the absolute validity of moral commandments, of authority of revelation, of inner certitudes, or of divine inspiration, erects a formidable barrier against progress and the responsibility of improvement, moral, rational, and religious.

  Julian Huxley

• Por lo general, no se necesitan conocimientos muy profundos de economía para comprender los efectos inmediatos de una medida; pero la tarea de la economía es predecir los efectos más remotos, y así permitirnos evitar actos que intentan remediar un mal presente sembrando las semillas de un mal mucho mayor para el futuro.

• There were times when the fact of impending death seemed as palpable as the bed they lay on, and they would cling together with a sort of despairing sensuality, like a damned soul grasping at his last morsel of pleasure when the clock is within five minutes of striking. But there were also times when they had the illusion not only of safety but of permanence.
