• As to the sea itself, love it you cannot. Why should you? I will never believe again the sea was ever loved by anyone whose life was married to it. It is the creation of omnipotence, which is not of humankind and understandable, and so the springs of its behavior are hidden.

• I think Kafka was right when he said that for a modern, secular, nonreligious man, state bureaucracy is the only remaining contact with the dimension of the divine; the impenetrable omnipotence of bureaucracy harbors is divine enjoyment. It is the performance of its very purposelessness that generates an intense enjoyment, ready to reproduce itself forever.

• Joy and happiness are the indicators of balance in a human machine...An inner joyousness, amounting to ecstasy, is the normal condition of the genius mind. Any lack of that joyousness develops body-destroying toxins. That inner ecstasy of the mind is the secret fountain of perpetual youth and strength in any man. He who finds it finds omnipotence and omniscience.

  Walter Russell

  Felicidad, Hombres, Alegría

• Los liberales comparan a Jerry Falwell con los talibanes, pero luego se enfurecen con George Bush por no ser Jesucristo. Evidentemente, lo que se supone que debe hacer un presidente cuando las chicas están asustadas es desarrollar una omnisciencia y omnipotencia completas. Así, los medios de comunicación exponen repetidamente la proposición de que lo que Bush debería haber hecho en respuesta a los envíos de ántrax es: ¡Presentar al instante a los culpables y poner fin a esta locura!

• What do the few existing mystics still do? -- They more or less mold the raw chaos of already existing religion. But only in an isolated, insignificant manner, through feeble attempts. Do it in a grand manner from all aspects with unified efforts, and let us awaken all religions from their graves, newly revivify and form the immortal ones through the omnipotence of art and science.

  Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

• Consideremos ahora la idea de Dios desde el punto de vista mágico, según los cuatro elementos, el llamado tetragrammaton, lo indecible, lo supremo: el principio ígneo implica la omnipotencia y la omnipotencia, el principio aéreo posee la sabiduría, la pureza y la claridad, de cuyo aspecto procede la licitud universal. El amor y la vida eterna se atribuyen al principio acuoso, y la omnipresencia, la inmortalidad y, por consiguiente, la eternidad pertenecen al principio terrestre. Estos cuatro aspectos juntos representan la Divinidad suprema.

• Nevertheless if any skillful Servant of Nature shall bring force to bear on matter, and shall vex it and drive it to extremities as if with the purpose of reducing it to nothing, then will matter (since annihilation or true destruction is not possible except by the omnipotence of God) finding itself in these straits, turn and transform itself into strange shapes, passing from one change to another till it has gone through the whole circle and finished the period.

• Even the sober desire for progress is sustained by faith—faith in the intrinsic goodness of human nature and in the omnipotence of science. It is a defiant and blasphemous faith, not unlike that held by the men who set out to build a "city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven" and who believed that "nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.

• I dared, for the first and last time in my life, to express a theological conclusion: "But how can a necessary being exist totally polluted with the possible? What difference is there, then, between God and primogenial chaos? Isn't affirming God's absolute omnipotence and His absolute freedom with regard to His own choices tantamount to demonstrating that God does not exist?

• El surrealismo se basa en la creencia en la realidad superior de ciertas formas de asociaciones antes descuidadas, en la omnipotencia de los sueños, en el juego desinteresado del pensamiento. Tiende a arruinar de una vez por todas los demás mecanismos psíquicos y a sustituirlos para resolver todos los principales problemas de la vida.

• Soy consciente de que muchos teólogos son mucho más maravillosos que yo, y que no puedo apreciar en su totalidad méritos que trascienden tanto los míos. Sin embargo, incluso después de hacer concesiones en este aspecto, no puedo dejar de pensar que la Omnipotencia operando a través de toda la eternidad podría haber producido algo mejor.

• Yo soy el camino hacia la ciudad del infortunio.
  Yo soy el camino hacia un pueblo abandonado.
  Soy el camino hacia el dolor eterno.
  La justicia sagrada movió a mi arquitecto.
  Me crió aquí la omnipotencia divina,
  el amor primordial y el intelecto último.
  Sólo aquellos elementos que el tiempo no puede desgastar
  Fueron hechos antes que yo, y más allá del tiempo estoy.
  Abandonad toda esperanza los que entráis aquí.

• Realize that the Silence offers an ever available and almost unlimited opportunity for awakening the highest conception of Truth. Try to comprehend that Omnipotence itself is absolute silence; all else is change, activity, limitation. Silent thought concentration is therefore the true method of reaching, awakening and then expressing the wonderful potential power of the world within.
