• El arte es una vocación, tanto como cualquier otra cosa en este mundo. Para el verdadero artista, es lo más natural del mundo, no tan necesario como el aire y el agua, quizá, pero sí como la comida y el agua. Pero realmente llevamos una vida casi monástica, ya sabes; para seguirla muy a menudo tienes que renunciar a algo.

  Katherine Anne Porter

• I think it would help if, when people are first ordained, they underwent a period of strict training, maybe for several years. During this time they would learn basic Buddhist philosophy in a monastic community where all the teaching and training was directed toward living a perfect monastic life and wasn't channeled out to fit into the lay life - which is what usually happens in Dharma centers where the teachings are directed toward how to live the Dharma in your everyday life.

• Si hay 1.500 personas en un teatro y todas están allí para verte a ti, no hay otros tipos. Tú eres el tipo. Así que es una vida monástica, es muy solitaria, si fuera propenso a la soledad. Es muy parecido a la lucha libre, nadie puede lanzarte un bloqueo, nadie puede darte un pase. Nadie puede pasarte la pelota, eres tú sólo durante una hora y media cada noche.

  Jay Mohr
