• Si sucede que la raza humana no lo logra, entonces el hecho de que estuvimos aquí una vez no se verá alterado, que una vez poblamos este asombroso planeta azul, y nos preguntamos inteligentemente todo sobre él y las otras cosas que vivían aquí con nosotros en él, y que celebramos su belleza en la música y el arte, la arquitectura, la literatura y la danza, y que hubo momentos en que nos acercamos a algo divino en nuestras capacidades y aspiraciones. Surgimos de un misterio sin profundidad, y volvimos al misterio, y al final el misterio es todo lo que hay.

• Jonah Griggs. No es sólo un nombre, sino un estado de ánimo que no quiero volver a vivir, aunque lo guardo en la memoria para cuando me ilusiono con algo. Así puedo darme una bofetada de realidad y recordarme lo que ocurre cuando dejas que alguien entre en tu espacio sagrado. Jonah Griggs es mi segundo recordatorio de que nunca jamás debo confiar en otro ser humano. Mi madre fue el primero.

• Nunca he considerado la facilidad y la felicidad como fines en sí mismos; a esta base crítica la llamo el ideal de una pocilga. Los ideales que han iluminado mi camino, y que una y otra vez me han infundido nuevo valor para enfrentarme alegremente a la vida, han sido la Bondad, la Belleza y la Verdad. Sin el sentido de parentesco con hombres de ideas afines, sin la ocupación con el mundo objetivo, lo eternamente inalcanzable en el campo del arte y los esfuerzos científicos, la vida me habría parecido vacía. Los objetos trillados de los esfuerzos humanos -las posesiones, el éxito exterior, el lujo- siempre me han parecido despreciables.

• It's not just the embarrassment of tears. That's part of it, no doubt, but what embarrasses me much more, and always will, is the paralysis that took my heart. A moral freeze: I couldn't decide, I couldn't act, I couldn't comport myself with even a pretense of modest human dignity.

• El suicidio es un derecho humano fundamental. Esto no significa que sea deseable. Sólo significa que la sociedad no tiene el derecho moral de interferir, por la fuerza, en la decisión de una persona de cometer este acto. El resultado es una infantilización y deshumanización de gran alcance de la persona suicida.

  Thomas Szasz

  Suicidio, Suicida, Mal

• Sanity, as the project of keeping ourselves recognizably human, therefore has to limit the range of human experience. To keep faith with recognition we have to stay recognizable. Sanity, in other words, becomes a pressing preoccupation as soon as we recognize the importance of recognition. When we define ourselves by what we can recognize, by what we can comprehend- rather than, say, by what we can describe- we are continually under threat from what we are unwilling and/or unable to see. We are tyrannized by our blind spots, and by whatever it is about ourselves that we find unacceptable.

• The act of writing itself is much like the construction of a mirror made of words. Looking at certain illuminated corners of or cracks within the mirror, the author can see fragments of an objective reality that comprise the physical universe, social communities, political dynamics, and other facets of human existence. Looking in certain other corners of the same mirror, he or she may experience glimpses of a True Self sheltered deftly behind a mask of public proprieties.
