• [Budismo y Cristianismo] son en un sentido paralelos e iguales; como un montículo y una hondonada, como un valle y una colina. Hay un sentido en el que esa sublime desesperación es la única alternativa a esa divina audacia. Incluso es cierto que el hombre verdaderamente espiritual e intelectual lo ve como una especie de dilema; una elección muy dura y terrible. Hay pocas cosas en la tierra que puedan compararse con éstas en cuanto a plenitud. Y quien no sube a la montaña de Cristo, cae de hecho en el abismo de Buda.

  Gilbert K. Chesterton

  Espiritual, Otoño, Budismo

• Images flicker, each one bringing its own sorrow or its own smile. Sometimes both. At the very worst, an impenetrable and sightless black and at best, a happiness so bright that it hurts the eyes to see, coming and going on some unseen projector perpetually turned by an invisible hand. One, then another. The hollow click of the shutter. Now stop. Freeze this frame. Pluck it down and hold it close and be damned by what you see. Henri always said: the price of a memory is the memory if the sorrow it brings.

  Pittacus Lore

  Hurt, Memories, Eye

• She had been innocent once, a little girl playing with feathers on the floor of a devil's lair. She wasn't innocent now, but she didn't know what to do about it. This was her life: magic and shame and secrets and teeth and a deep, nagging hollow at the center of herself where something was most certainly missing.

• "El pueblo" no dirige nada. Por eso la tecnología ha sustituido a la política como fuente de ideología. Las afirmaciones ideológicas son huecas y absurdas, y ya nadie las cree.

• Perception is naturally surpassed toward action; better yet, it can be revealed only in and through projects of action. The world is revealed as an "always future hollow", for we are always future to ourselves.

• Éramos muy fans de Sleepy Hollow, en todas sus iteraciones: crecimos con la serie de Disney, luego con la de Tim Burton y, obviamente, la más importante es el cuento de Washington Irving. Evoca e invoca un sentimiento y un tono muy específicos.

• In the morning of life, before its wearisome journey, The youthful soul doth expand, in the simple luxury of being; It hath not contracted its wishes, nor set a limit on its hopes; The wing of fancy is unclipped, and sin hath not seared the feelings: Each feature is stamped with immortality, for all its desires are infinite, And it seeketh an ocean of happiness, to fill the deep hollow within.

  Martin Farquhar Tupper

• Thou spring'st a leak already in thy crown, A flaw is in thy ill-bak'd vessel found; 'Tis hollow, and returns a jarring sound, Yet thy moist clay is pliant to command, Unwrought, and easy to the potter's hand: Now take the mould; now bend thy mind to feel The first sharp motions of the forming wheel.

• If they survive, today's children will inherit a world that our fathers and grandfathers have ravaged, where the seas are acidic cesspools that the whales have fled, where rain forests are Indian memories never to return, and where human greed has plundered Mother Earth's innards and turned human genes into factories for profit. They will inherit a diminished planet where fresh water is increasingly rare, and where fresh air is a commodity... We live in a world that fears and hates its young. How else can one explain the bequest of such a foul, polluted, and hollow inheritance?

• Su grandeza nacional, vanidad hinchada; su denuncia de los tiranos, impudicia descarada; sus gritos de libertad e igualdad, burla hueca; sus oraciones e himnos, sus sermones y acciones de gracias, con todo su desfile religioso y solemnidad, son, para Él, mera ampulosidad, fraude, engaño, impiedad e hipocresía, un delgado velo para encubrir crímenes que deshonrarían a una nación de salvajes.
