• Well yet, this life such as it is, yet we love it, and loath we are to end it; and if it be in hazard by the law, what running, riding, posting, suing, bribing, and if all will not serve, what breaking prison is there for it!

• Faith just doesn't have anything to do with what I'm doing as a scientist. It's nice if you can believe in God, because then you see more of a purpose in things. Even if you don't, though, it doesn't mean that there's no purpose. It doesn't mean that there's no goodness. I think that there's a virtue in being good in and of itself. I think that one can work with the world we have.

• If there are some who talk the same language as myself, then why should I neglect their interests for the sake of some other group of people who are alien and remote? They have their own 'gods and idols' and we have nothing in common. ... If you try to please audiences, uncritically accepting their tastes, it can only mean that you have no respect for them: that you simply want to collect their money.

• In the performer's body, you don't care how you look. It doesn't matter if you're old, fat, beautiful, or ugly. It doesn't change anything. The only thing is your charisma and how you express your idea.

• If you're a woman, it's almost impossible to establish a relationship. You're too much for everybody. It's too much. The woman always has to play this role of being fragile and dependent. And if you're not, they're fascinated by you, but only for a little while. And then they want to change you and crush you. And then they leave.

• If family and society tell you its unfeminine, not really womanly, to be aggressive, to speak up, to have strong opinions, to take up space, then women won't trust their own voice, because to be heard and to be influential, you've got to have a way to sing out with passion and love and self-trust - to sing out your song for everyone to hear.

• Una de las razones por las que amo la oración es que es un antídoto contra la culpa y la culpabilización. Si no estamos contentos con la forma en que hemos actuado o nos han tratado, en lugar de sumirnos en la autorrecriminación, por un lado, o de albergar mala voluntad hacia otra persona, por otro, la oración nos da una salida del círculo de la culpa y la culpabilización. Sacamos a la luz nuestros sentimientos dolorosos y decimos: "He hecho mal" o "Me han hecho daño". Y luego pedimos una visión más amplia, que contenga todo el perdón que necesitamos para seguir adelante.

• I do not wish upon anyone a descent into hell. But if your life has to be turned inside out in order for you to know yourself--if the shadow of a shaman crosses your path and you turn and follow it down--I pray that you use its force wisely. I hope that you take the ultimate responsibility for your actions and that you consecrate any destruction to the rebuilding of your higher self and a more radiant life.

• A lo largo de los años, algunos de mis libros han sido seleccionados para el cine. El tema de mis libros, sin embargo, no es precisamente propicio para el tratamiento cinematográfico hollywoodiense. Si alguna vez se hace una película de "gran presupuesto" basada en uno de mis libros, es más que probable que mis fans y yo la aborrezcamos porque no será fiel a su origen. Es casi un hecho.

• Voltaire señaló que es posible matar a un rebaño de ovejas por brujería si se les da mucho arsénico al mismo tiempo. Las ovejas, en esta figura, bien podrían representar a los complacientes apologistas del capitalismo; la penetrante perspicacia de Marx y su amargo odio a la opresión suministran el arsénico, mientras que la teoría del trabajo del valor proporciona los conjuros.

• El gobierno de Dios no es tiranía, porque no tiene carácter político o gubernamental, no es un gobierno de autoridad. Dios no es un gobernador del universo, porque un gobernador gobierna sobre los que tienen una naturaleza similar a la suya, y ejerce un poder político y judicial, mientras que Dios ejerce un poder creador, preservador y determinante de un tipo totalmente diferente. Si soy siervo de Dios, no estoy bajo ninguna tiranía, porque Dios no gobierna, sino que me apoya, me sostiene y me dirige.

• Marx, however imperfectly he worked out the details, set himself the task of discovering the law of motion of capitalism, and if there is any hope of progress in economics at all, it must be in using academic methods to solve the problems posed by Marx.

• I think that women as a group are so powerful. I still don't think we are able to embrace our power well enough yet. We think we live in a man's world and we have to follow their rules, and yet, we're so different, and our rules are so different. I wish that we could come together more as a political force. If women ran the world, I don't believe that there would be war. I really don't.... We understand the bigger picture. We understand our impact on the environment, on the world. We understand the generations that will go after us because we gave birth to them.

• We've been told there's a certain way to live ... that this is living ... and we ... we never really questioned it. We just sort of went along. But what if it's not the best way? What if there's another way that's better? What if there's something more?!
