• Puede que los ordenadores no encuentren las soluciones a nuestros problemas, pero podrían hacer la mayor parte del trabajo necesario y ayudar a nuestras mentes humanas a encontrar intuitivamente el camino a través del laberinto.

• I'm talking of the idea, basically very widespread in America, that the less government the better, which is obviously being used to the advantage of the big corporations, but none-the-less has very radical implications. The idea of a people that exercises a great deal of federalist or confederalist control, the ideal of a grass-roots type of democracy, the idea of the freedom of the individual which is not to get lost in the mazes of anarcho-egotism à la Stirner, or for that matter right-wing libertarianism.

• It will be easy for us the first time we receive that ball of yarn from Ariadne (love) and then go through all the mazes of the labyrinth (life) and kill the monster. But how many there are who plunge into life (the labyrinth) without taking that precaution?

• The extraordinary development of modern science may be her undoing. Specialism, now a necessity, has fragmented the specialities themselves in a way that makes the outlook hazardous. The workers lose all sense of proportion in a maze of minutiae.

• I have tried to show why I believe that the biologist is the most romantic figure on earth at the present day. At first sight he seems to be just a poor little scrubby underpaid man, groping blindly amid the mazes of the ultra-microscopic, engaging in bitter and lifelong quarrels over the nephridia of flatworms, waking perhaps one morning to find that someone whose name he has never heard has demolished by a few crucial experiments the work which he had hoped would render him immortal.

• Esperar que las complejidades de la ciencia sean atravesadas por una mirada descuidada, o que las eminencias de la fama sean ascendidas sin trabajo, es esperar un privilegio peculiar, un poder negado al resto de la humanidad; pero suponer que el laberinto es inescrutable a la diligencia, o las alturas inaccesibles a la perseverancia, es someterse dócilmente a la tiranía de la fantasía, y encadenar la mente con grilletes voluntarios.

• The ways of heaven are dark and intricate,
  Puzzled in mazes, and perplex'd with errors;
  Our understanding traces them in vain,
  Lost and bewilder'd in the fruitless search;
  Nor sees with how much art the windings run,
  Nor where the regular confusion ends.

• Because everybody who has ever lost their way in life has felt the nagging insistence of that question. At some point we all look up and realize we are lost in a maze, and I dont want us to forget Alaska, and I don't want to forget that even when the material we study seems boring, we're trying to und3erstand how people answered that question and the question each of you posed in your papers--how different traditions have come to terms with what Chip, in his final, called 'people's rotten lots in life.

• She imagines him imagining her. This is her salvation. In spirit she walks the city, traces its labyrinths, its dingy mazes: each assignation, each rendezvous, each door and stair and bed. What he said, what she said, what they did, what they did then. Even the times they argued, fought, parted, agonized, rejoined. How they’d loved to cut themselves on each other, taste their own blood. We were ruinous together, she thinks. But how else can we live, these days, except in the midst of ruin?

• Sometimes it takes a partner to say, "What is it you want?" because I think we operate in life and sometimes we don't know. We're all in some kind of maze going after the cheese at the end, and we get it and we go, "What is it that we want?"

• La juventud es la estación de la tragedia y la desesperación. La juventud es la época en que toda la vida está enredada en una red de identidad, en un laberinto perpetuo de búsqueda y de encuentro, de pasión y de desilusión, de vagos anhelos y de penas sin nombre, de lástima que es una cuchilla en el corazón, y de "todos los pequeños vacíos del amor".

• I suppose we all share this pipe-dream of being able to reach out a hand and find anything at will; what is amazing is that we think that good filing could somehow make it comes true. On the contrary: putting a letter into a filing system is like releasing your ferret in the Hampton Court maze.

• A giddy feeling, in a way, except there was the dreamy edge of impossibility to it - like running a dead-end maze - no way out - it couldn't come to a happy conclusion and yet I was doing it anyway because it was all I could think of to do.

• It is not just that science and technology are possible means of great human satisfaction, as well as a matrix of complex dominations. Cyborg imagery can suggest a way out of the maze of dualisms in which we have explained our bodies and our tools to ourselves.

• Once there were brook trout in the streams in the mountains. You could see them standing in the amber current where the white edges of their fins wimpled softly in the flow. They smelled of moss in your hand. Polished and muscular and torsional. On their backs were vermiculate patterns that were maps of the world in its becoming. Maps and mazes. Of a thing which could not be put back. Not be made right again. In the deep glens where they lived all things were older than man and they hummed of mystery.

• El lenguaje, al menos, puede revelar los secretos de la vida y de la muerte, conduciéndonos a través del laberinto hasta el Verbo original como monstruo o ángel, hasta el lúgubre lugar donde podemos encontrarnos con Job y oír su grito: "¿Hasta cuándo vejarás mi alma y me despedazarás con palabras?

• The one great principle of the English law is, to make business for itself. There is no other principle distinctly, certainly, and consistently maintained through all its narrow turnings. Viewed by this light it becomes a coherent scheme, and not the monstrous maze the laity are apt to think it. Let them but once clearly perceive that its grand principle is to make business for itself at their expense, and surely they will cease to grumble.

• El diseño de un libro es el patrón de una realidad controlada y moldeada por la mente del escritor. Esto se entiende perfectamente en el caso de la poesía o la ficción, pero rara vez en el de los libros de hechos. Y, sin embargo, el impulso que lleva a un hombre a la poesía enviará a otro hombre a las piscinas de marea y le obligará a tratar de informar de lo que encuentra allí.... Sería bueno conocer el impulso de verdad, no dejarse confundir por los tópicos de los "servicios a la ciencia" o por otros pequeños laberintos en los que atraemos a nuestras mentes para que no sepan lo que estamos haciendo.

• Pero a medida que Van dirigía despreocupadamente el reflector del pensamiento retrospectivo hacia ese laberinto del pasado en el que los estrechos caminos revestidos de espejos no sólo tomaban diferentes curvas, sino que utilizaban diferentes niveles (como un carro tirado por una mula pasa bajo el arco de un viaducto por el que roza un motor), se encontró abordando, de forma aún vaga y ociosa, la ciencia que iba a obsesionar sus años de madurez - problemas de espacio y tiempo, espacio contra tiempo, espacio torcido por el tiempo, espacio como tiempo, tiempo como espacio - y el espacio separándose del tiempo, en el trágico triunfo final de la cogitación humana: Soy porque muero.

• Everyone was so good at what they were doing, and what they were bringing onto the table, that I was confident. I guess I was just trying to keep up, really, that was my hope at the end of the day; that I could do them justice and do the story [Maze Runner] justice and do Wes [Ball] justice.

• Language is virtually always pathological; hence the solution is to move as fast and far as possible from language to experience, from linguistic to experimental or psychological philosophy. In order to know that we are not in the linguistic maze, we need to determine, according to Berkeley, whether the things we are talking about exist; hence we need to look for the relevant perceptions. For him, this usually means retiring into himself and trying to imagine whether x exists, having formed the best definition possible of x.

• It's interesting to play that [ Thomas in The Maze Runner], actually. The audience gets to see the character discover who he is, things that he never even knew about himself. I love that Thomas starts out as the newbie, as the 'Greenie', and the audience kind of experiences that through his perspective. It's really cool to watch him discover these leadership qualities that he has, and the way you approach it... I guess, just honestly. As honest as you can, really.

• ¿Cómo consigue el silencio salir de esa mente ruidosa y parlanchina? ¿Ese interminable laberinto de pensamientos, conceptos, opiniones y creencias? ¿Cómo sale de ese laberinto el silencio perfecto y la conciencia pura? Muy sencillo: Hazte presente con algo que está AQUÍ, en el momento. Entonces estarás AQUÍ de nuevo.
