• Un mundo nuevo no se hace simplemente tratando de olvidar el viejo. Un mundo nuevo se hace con un espíritu nuevo, con valores nuevos. Puede que nuestro mundo empezara así, pero hoy es una caricatura. Nuestro mundo es un mundo de cosas. Lo que más tememos, ante la inminente debacle, es que nos veamos obligados a renunciar a nuestros artilugios, a nuestros gadgets, a todas las pequeñas comodidades que nos han hecho sentir tan incómodos. No somos almas pacíficas; somos engreídos, tímidos, mareados y temblorosos.

  Henry Miller

  Peace, Giving Up, Our World

• One current of continuity runs underneath all the abortive phases of my life. From childhood on I have been obliged to drop anything I was doing to run after any man who seemed to know a little more than I did about God . . . I most want to write about: how a modern woman has sought the face of God-not the name nor the fame but the face [ital] of God-and what adventures came to meet her on this ancient human path.

• Today's citizen is obliged to find his freedom only in the narrow ruts pre-approved by his bureaucratic overlords.

  James Bovard

• What was it that obliged Jerome to write his book, Concerning Illustrious Men? It was the common reproach of old cast upon Christians, 'That they were all poor, weak, unlearned men.' The sort of men sometime called 'Puritans' in the English nation have been reproached with the same character. . . But when truth shall have liberty to speak, it will be known that Christianity never was more expressed unto the life than in the lives of the persons that have been thus reproached.

• Todos aquellos para quienes la necesidad es terrible, sea cual fuere su principio, deberían considerarse obligados a aprender las sabias máximas de nuestros parsimoniosos antepasados, y a adquirir las saludables artes de contraer gastos; porque sin economía nadie puede ser rico, y con ella pocos pueden ser pobres.

• Muchos hombres están locos en ciertos casos, y pasan por la vida sin percibirlo. Por ejemplo, se ha apoderado de una persona la locura de suponerse obligada literalmente a rezar continuamente; si la locura se hubiera vuelto en sentido contrario, y la persona pensara que rezar nunca es un crimen, no es improbable que hubiera continuado sin ser observada.

• Haber amado y perdido, ya sea por ese desencanto total que deja a la compasión como único sustituto de un amor que ya no puede existir, o por el lento tormento que se ve obligado a dejar ir día a día todo lo que constituye la parte más divina del amor -a saber, la reverencia, la creencia y la confianza, y sin embargo se aferra desesperadamente a lo único que le queda, una sufrida ternura apologética-, esta suerte es probablemente la más dura que cualquier mujer pueda tener que soportar.

• Cualquier hombre debe juzgar por sí mismo si las circunstancias justifican la obediencia o la resistencia a los mandatos del magistrado civil; todos estamos cualificados, facultados y moralmente obligados a evaluar la conducta de nuestros gobernantes. Este juicio político, además, no es simple o principalmente un derecho, sino, como la autoconservación, un deber para con Dios. Como tal, es un juicio del que los hombres no pueden desprenderse según el Dios de la Naturaleza. Es el primero y más importante de nuestros derechos inalienables, sin el cual no podemos preservar ningún otro.

  John Locke
