• ¿Por qué es importante la disciplina? La disciplina nos enseña a actuar por principios y no por deseos. Decir no a nuestros impulsos (incluso a los que no son inherentemente pecaminosos) nos pone en control de nuestros apetitos en lugar de viceversa. Depone nuestra lujuria y permite que la verdad, la virtud y la integridad gobiernen nuestras mentes en su lugar.

• Durante horas bailó y cantó y flirteó e hizo esa cosa que hizo Marilyn Monroe. Y entonces se produjo la inevitable caída. Y cuando terminó la noche y se acabó el vino blanco y se acabó el baile, se sentó en un rincón como una niña, con todo perdido. La vi sentada tranquilamente, sin expresión en la cara, y me dirigí hacia ella, pero no quise fotografiarla sin que ella lo supiera. Y cuando me acerqué con la cámara, vi que ella no decía que no.

• Nuestra salida implica tanto resistencia como renovación: decir no a lo que es, para que podamos remodelar y recrear el mundo. Nuestro reto es comunitario, pero para afrontarlo debemos empoderarnos como individuos y crear estructuras de apoyo y celebración que puedan enseñarnos la libertad. La creación es la última resistencia, el último rechazo a aceptar las cosas tal y como son. Porque es en la creación donde nos encontramos con el Misterio.

• Solitude is the profoundest fact of the human condition. Man is the only being who knows he is alone, and the only one who seeks out another. His nature - if that word can be used in reference to man, who has ‘invented’ himself by saying ‘no’ to nature - consists in his longing to realize himself in another. Man is nostalgia and a search for communion. Therefore, when he is aware of himself he is aware of his lack of another, that is, of his solitude.
