• Nuestros hijos son nuestra firma en la lista de la historia; nuestra tierra es simplemente el lugar donde se hizo nuestro dinero. Todavía no hay ningún estigma social en la posesión de una granja barranqueada, un bosque destrozado o un arroyo contaminado, siempre que los dividendos alcancen para enviar a los jóvenes a la universidad. Lo que sea que afecte a la tierra, el gobierno lo arreglará.

• Absorbed in this world, you've made it your burden. Rise above this world. There is another vision. All your life you've paid attention to your experiences, but never to your Self. Are you searching for your Soul? Then come out of your prision. Leave the stream and join the river that flows into the Ocean. It will not lead you astray. Let the beauty you seek be what you do.

  Rumi

• We do not realize how deeply our starting assumptions affect the way we go about looking for and interpreting the data we collect. We should recognize that nonhuman organisms need not meet every new definition of human language, tool use, mind, or consciousness in order to have versions of their own that are worthy of serious study. We have set ourselves too much apart, grasping for definitions that will distinguish man from all other life on the planet. We must rejoin the great stream of life from whence we arose and strive to see within it the seeds of all we are and all we may become.

• Ambition will take you And ride you too far and Conservatism bring you to boredom once more Sit down by the river And watch the stream flow Recall all the dreams That you once used to know The things you've forgotten That took you away To pastures not greener but meaner.

• I like to define biology as the history of the earth and all its life - past, present, and future. To understand biology is to understand that all life is linked to the earth from which it came; it is to understand that the stream of life, flowing out of the dim past into the uncertain future, is in reality a unified force, though composed of an infinite number and variety of separate lives.

  Rachel Carson

  Past, Reality, Numbers

  Preface to "Humane Biology Projects" by the Animal Welfare Institute, 1961.

• Of course my moods change, but the average is serenity. I have a firm faith in art, a firm confidence in its being a powerful stream which carries a man to a harbor, though he himself must do his bit too; at all events, I think it such a great blessing when a man has found his work that I cannot count myself among the unfortunate. I mean, I may be in certain relatively great difficulties, and there may be gloomy days in my life, but I shouldn't like to be counted among the unfortunate, nor would it be correct if I were.

• Sri Yukteswar solía burlarse suavemente de las concepciones comúnmente inadecuadas de la renuncia: "Un mendigo no puede renunciar a la riqueza", decía el Maestro. "Si un hombre se lamenta: Mi negocio ha fracasado; mi mujer me ha abandonado; renunciaré a todo y entraré en un monasterio", ¿a qué sacrificio mundano se refiere? Los santos como Gandhi, por otra parte, no sólo han hecho sacrificios materiales tangibles, sino también la más difícil renuncia a los motivos egoístas y al objetivo privado, fundiendo su ser más íntimo en la corriente de la humanidad en su conjunto.

  Paramahansa Yogananda

• (The processes are) doubly ruinous: they impoverish the earth by hastily removing, for the benefit of a few generations, the common resources which, once expended and dissipated, can never be restored; and second, in its technique, its habits, its processes, the paleotechnic period is equally inimical to the earth considered as a human habitat, by its destruction of the beauty of the landscape, its ruining of streams, its pollution of drinking water, its filling the air with a finely divided carboniferous deposit, which chokes both life and vegetation.

• Resistance to improvement contradicts the noblest instincts of the race. It begets its opposite. The fanaticism of reform is only the raging of the accumulated waters caused by the obstructions which an ultra conservatism has thrown across the stream of progress; and revolution itself is but the sudden overwhelming and sweeping away of impediments that should have been seasonably removed.

  Horace Mann

• The best way to prove the clearness of our mind, is by showing its faults; as when a stream discovers the dirt at the bottom, it convinces us of the transparency and purity of the water.

• Unas pocas florecillas brotarán brevemente en el seco barranco por el que de vez en cuando pasan torrentes de agua. Pero son los torrentes constantes los que traen cosechas espesas y necesarias. En la agricultura del alma que tiene que ver con cultivar atributos, las crecidas repentinas no sustituyen al riego regular.

• There is no long interval between the sense of thirst and the trickling of the stream over the parched lip; but ever it is flowing, flowing past us, and the desire is but the opening of the lips to receive the limpid, and life-giving waters. No one ever desired the grace of God, really and truly desired it, but just in proportion as he desired it, he got it; just in proportion as he thirsted, he was satisfied.

• Nuestras susceptibilidades nativas y los gustos adquiridos determinan cuál de las muchas cualidades de un objeto nos impresionará más y recordaremos con mayor claridad. Un hombre recuerda las propiedades combustibles de una sustancia, que para otro es memorable por su propiedad polarizante; para un hombre un arroyo es tanta fuerza hidráulica, que para otro es una cita para los amantes.

• En los últimos años, el énfasis en el trabajo original e individual ha contribuido en gran medida a producir una cosecha de falsificaciones excéntricas y ha alejado el arte de la corriente de la tradición. La tradición es nuestra herencia de conocimientos y experiencia. No podemos vivir sin ella.

• To create one must be willing to be stone stupid, to sit upon a throne on top of a jackass and spill rubies from one’s mouth. Then the river will flow, then we can stand in the stream of it raining down.

• A medida que te arraigues más en tu interior -a medida que bebas de esa corriente silenciosa de vida que corre bajo la superficie de todo-, a medida que vivas cada vez más desde esa profundidad de tu propio ser, entonces podrás elevarte más alto y más fuerte en este mundo; más de lo que jamás hubieras creído posible.

• los arroyos corcovean como carneros en una tienda / restallan los látigos y de las colinas vienen las torcidas /sombras de los pastores. /de los árboles caen huevos negros y cascabeles de tontos. /los tambores de trueno y los timbales golpean los oídos de los burros. /las alas rozan las flores. /fuentes brotan en los ojos del jabalí.

• Los hombres que se apoyan en cualquier otro fundamento que no sea la roca de Cristo Jesús son como los pájaros que construyen en los árboles junto a los ríos. El pájaro canta en las ramas, y el río canta debajo, pero todo el tiempo las aguas están socavando el suelo alrededor de las raíces, hasta que, en alguna hora insospechada, el árbol cae con estrépito en la corriente; y entonces su nido está hundido, su hogar se ha ido, y el pájaro es un vagabundo.
