• When you recognize that there is a voice in your head that pretends to be you and never stops speaking, you are awakening out of your unconscious identification with the stream of thinking. When you notice that voice, you realize that who you are is not the voice - the thinker - but the one who is aware of it.

• the test of a cook is how she boils an egg. My boiled eggs are fantastic, fabulous. Sometimes as hard as a 100 carat diamond, or again soft as a feather bed, or running like a cooling stream, they can also burst like fireworks from their shells and take on the look and rubbery texture of a baby octopus. Never a dull egg, with me.

• Men and women must be educated, in a great degree, by the opinions and manners of the society they live in. In every age there has been a stream of popular opinion that has carried all before it, and given a family character, as it were, to the century. It may then fairly be inferred, that, till society be differently constituted, much cannot be expected from education.

• La aquilegia roció las rocas
  Una lluvia escarlata; la violeta amarilla
  sentada en el carro de sus hojas, el flox
  sostenía espigas de llama púrpura en los prados húmedos,
  Y todos los arroyos con juncos perfumados de primavera
  Estaban bordeados, y el bramido rayado de miskodeed.

• The Prophet's words were true;
  The mouth of Ali is the golden door
  Of Wisdom."
  When his friends to Ali bore
  These words, he smiled and said: "And should they ask
  The same until my dying day, the task
  Were easy; for the stream from Wisdom's well,
  Which God supplies, is inexhaustible.

• When winter stern, his gloomy front uprears,
  A sable void the barren earth appears;
  The meads no more their former verdure boast,
  Fast-bound their streams, and all their beauty lost;
  The herds, the flocks, in icy garments mourn, and wildly murmur for the Spring's return;
  From snow-topp'd hills the whirlwinds keenly blow,
  Howl through the woods, and pierce the vales below,
  Through the sharp air a flaky torrent flies,
  Mocks the slow sight, and hides the gloomy skies.

• La corriente perpetua de la naturaleza humana se forma en bajíos, remolinos, caídas y charcos siempre cambiantes por la tierra sobre la que pasa. Tal vez el único valor real de la historia resida en considerar este juego infinitamente variado entre la esencia y los accidentes.

• Under all of the factors that make up the art world, it's up to the individual artist to discern which of those influences are present and at what time and what really serves the deeper process that is constantly running like a stream underground. Influence is incessant. Influence is a fact. But, carry a big shovel and dig constantly to clear away all the unessentials so that the origins of mystery and the poetic force of life can get into and inspire the work.

• That's not a utopian vision. It is a set of ideas that we think are important to discuss. Those ideas largely have to do with sustainability of cities. The ability of cities to, over time, remain in balance with the resource streams that are available to them, and they have to do with social justice and equity of the fundamental conditions of satisfactory citizenship.

  Oft up the stream of Time I turn my sail,
  para ver los refugios de hadas de las horas perdidas,
  Bendecidos con sombras mucho más verdes, flores mucho más frescas.

• If life has not made you by God's grace, through faith, holy--think you, will death without faith do it? The cold waters of that narrow stream are no purifying bath in which you may wash and be clean. No! no! as you go down into them, you will come up from them.

• In the home we make certain distinctions about functions of rooms and corridors; we do not deliver the groceries straight into the baby's crib. In hospitals we do not take the food trolleys right through the operating chamber, and we rarely have the recreation room next to the convalescent room. We sort out the functions. We have to sort out the functions of the city and the streams of traffic and re-create arterial systems that allow us to breathe ... the shape, pattern and sense of community which you expect if it were a home.
