• While love takes on itself impossible tasks, yet it finds that love lightens all loads. It is the same burden that wings are to a bird, that sails are to a ship. Nothing is hard if done for love's sweet sake. The yoke of love is easy; the yoke of duty is hard. There is all the difference in the world between being drawn by love and being driven by duty. The task may be the same, but love makes everything light, and duty makes everything drudgery.

  E. Stanley Jones

  Love, Sweet, Light

• Death is not the end, but the beginning of a new life. Yes, it is an end of something that is already dead. It is also a crescendo of what we call life, although very few know what life is. They live, but they live in such ignorance that they never encounter their own life. And it is impossible for these people to know their own death, because death is the ultimate experience of this life, and the beginning experience of another. Death is the door between two lives; one is left behind, one is waiting ahead.

  Rajneesh

  Death, Ignorance, Two

• Un hombre que piensa que la muerte está en contra de la vida nunca puede ser no violento. Es imposible. Un hombre que piensa que la muerte es el enemigo nunca puede estar tranquilo, en casa. Es imposible. ¿Cómo puedes estar tranquilo cuando el enemigo te espera en cualquier momento? Saltará sobre ti y te destruirá. ¿Cómo puedes estar tranquilo cuando la muerte te está esperando a la vuelta de la esquina y la sombra de la muerte está siempre cayendo sobre ti? Puede ocurrir en cualquier momento. ¿Cómo puedes descansar cuando la muerte está ahí? ¿Cómo puedes relajarte? El enemigo no te permitirá relajarte.

  Rajneesh

• In life you may be poor or rich, but death is the great equalizer. The greatest communism is in death. Howsoever you live, it makes no difference; death happens equally. In life, equality is impossible; in death, inequality is impossible. Become aware of it, contemplate it.

  Rajneesh

  Death, Differences, May

• In all societies, it is advisable to associate if possible with the highest; not that the highest are always the best, but because, if disgusted there, we can descend at any time; but if we begin with the lowest, to ascend is impossible.

• LISP has jokingly been described as "the most intelligent way to misuse a computer." I think that description is a great compliment because it transmits the full flavour of liberation: it has assisted a number of our most gifted fellow humans in thinking previously impossible thoughts.

• Entre todas las emociones, los ricos son los que menos talento tienen para el amor. Es posible amar al perro, el vestido o el sombrero de tiro al pato de uno, pero un ser humano presenta un problema más difícil. Los ricos pueden desear experimentar sentimientos de afecto, pero es casi imposible quitarles el esmalte de su narcisismo. Ocupan todo el espacio en todos los espejos de la casa. Sus hijos, que representan el reclamo más presente y, por tanto, más molesto de su atención, suelen recibir la peor parte de su irritación.

• Aunque a mucha gente le gusta la idea de ejercitar el amor incondicional, la mayoría acaba encontrándolo demasiado agotador e imposible de sostener, a menudo porque el intento de practicarlo se malinterpreta, se desalienta, se ataca o se convierte en blanco de abusos deliberados. Por triste que resulte admitirlo, en nuestro mundo moderno la gente está mucho más acostumbrada a oír noticias sobre guerras, genocidios, asesinatos, desastres, hambrunas y enfermedades que a oír nada sobre actos de amor o de gracia.

• It is impossible to think of Howard Hughes without seeing the apparently bottomless gulf between what we say we want and what we do want, between what we officially admire and secretly desire, between, in the largest sense, the people we marry and the people we love. In a nation which increasingly appears to prize social virtues, Howard Hughes remains not merely antisocial but grandly, brilliantly, surpassingly, asocial. He is the last private man, the dream we no longer admit.

  Joan Didion

• I get a lot of people complaining about my ambiguity, often in cases which there is nothing ambigous at all. As far as I can see, people read it when they were half stoned and listening to the TV. Then they come back and say gee, it's impossible to figure out what's going on in a story.

• The true liberty of the press is amply secured by permitting every man to publish his opinion; but it is due to the peace and dignity of society, to inquire into the motives of such publications, and to distinguish between those which are meant for use and reformation, and with an eye solely to the public good, and those which are intended merely to delude and defame. To the latter description, it is impossible that any good government should afford protection and impunity.

  Thomas McKean
