• Soy mayor que tú. Créeme, no hay otra forma de vivir en la tierra. Los hombres no están abiertos a la verdad ni a la razón. No pueden ser alcanzados por un argumento racional. La mente es impotente contra ellos. Sin embargo, tenemos que tratar con ellos. Si queremos lograr algo, tenemos que engañarlos para que nos dejen lograrlo. O forzarles. No entienden otra cosa. No podemos esperar su apoyo para ningún esfuerzo del intelecto, para ningún objetivo del espíritu. No son más que animales viciosos. Son codiciosos, autoindulgentes, depredadores cazadores de dólares...

• And the flesh is that reprehensible preference for self that lurks within every one of our hearts. It is that base and selfish instinct to preserve our own interests at the expense of God's interests. It's devious, it's deceitful, it's self-indulgent. It's interested only in selfish comfort and will happily crucify Christ afresh to secure it. God also has another name for it- sin.

• You've never had a hamburger before?" asks Christine, her eyes wide. "No," I say. "Is that what it's called?" "Stiffs eat plain food," Four says, nodding at Christina. "Why?" she asks. I shrug. "Extravagance is considered self-indulgent and unnecessary." She smirks. "No wonder you left." "Yeah," I say,rolling my eyes. "It was just because of the food." The corner of Four's mouth twitches.

• Say I feel all sad and self-indulgent, then get stung by a wasp, my misery feels quite abstract and I long just to be in spiritual pain once more - 'damn you tiny assassin, clad in yellow and black, how I crave my former innocence where melancholy was my only trial'.

• One of the reasons for its success is that science has a built-in, error-correcting machinery at its very heart. Some may consider this an overbroad characterization, but to me every time we exercise self-criticism, every time we test our ideas against the outside world, we are doing science. When we are self-indulgent and uncritical, when we confuse hopes and facts, we slide into pseudoscience and superstition.

• There are not many designers who are truly creative and literate. Most are self-indulgent, illiterate, fashion-mongering, service people trying to bridge a message between a product and an audience.

• Cuando estoy en el estudio, escribo la música, toco los distintos instrumentos, la produzco, la arreglo y es un ejercicio de autocomplacencia. Así hago mi música. Y cuando actúo, me olvido de mí mismo, lo cual es un alivio. Colaboro con un director; respeto el medio del director y a todos los actores y actrices. Al fin y al cabo, se trata de un personaje y de la visión de un director. Es un equilibrio muy bueno para ser tan intenso y estar tan solo en mi proceso personal de hacer música.

• I mean, what do you think creativity is? Nothing but self-indulgence. And the more self-indulgent it is, the more interesting it becomes. So I think that part of creativity is also falling in love with your own narcissism: accepting it, using it as an asset.

• "Look into thy heart and write!" is good advice, but not if interpreted to mean, "Look nowhere else!" The poet should know his world and, so far as his art is concerned, any kind of battering from his world is better than his own self-indulgent brooding.

• La autoindulgencia adopta muchas formas. Un hombre puede ser autoindulgente en el habla, en el tacto, en la vista. De la autoindulgencia se pasa a la charla ociosa y a la conversación mundana, a la bufonería y a los chistes indecentes. Hay autoindulgencia en tocar sin necesidad, hacer señales burlonas con las manos, empujar por un lugar, arrebatar algo para uno mismo, acercarse a otra persona descaradamente. Todas estas cosas provienen de no tener el temor de Dios en el alma y de ellas un hombre llega poco a poco al perfecto desprecio.

• Sadly and criminally, many self-indulgent inactive pacifists have shunned me for being an outspoken supporter of X's 'by any means necessary' philosophy, even though NOT supporting me means you are supporting violence since millions of meat, dairy, egg and honey-eaters who would have had a chance to see my speeches, essays or advertisements continue along their violent paths unchallenged.
