• The image cannot be dispossessed of a primordial freshness, which idea can never claim. An idea is derivative and tamed. The imageis in the natural or wild state, and it has to be discovered there, not put there, obeying its own law and none of ours. We think we can lay hold of image and take it captive, but the docile captive is not the real image but only the idea, which is the image with its character beaten out of it.

  John Crowe Ransom

  Real, Carácter, Pensamiento

• In former days, men sold themselves to the Devil to acquire magical powers. Nowadays they acquire those powers from science, and find themselves compelled to become devils. There is no hope for the world unless power can be tamed, and brought into the service, not of this or that group of fanatical tyrants, but of the whole human race, white and yellow and black, fascist and communist and democrat; for science has made it inevitable that all must live or all must die.

  Bertrand Russell

• Para terminar de construir la sociedad libre soñada por Washington, Franklin y Jefferson, debemos recurrir a los recursos de la imaginación ilustrada, que las ciencias espirituales de la India y el Tíbet pueden desarrollar sistemáticamente. Aún no hemos domado nuestros propios demonios de racismo, nacionalismo, sexismo y materialismo. Aún no hemos hecho las paces con una tierra que tomamos por la fuerza y que sólo hemos pagado en parte. Somos un conglomerado de personas de diferentes tribus que aún no han abrazado plenamente la humanidad de los demás. Y ninguno de nosotros podrá ser realmente libre hasta que todos lo seamos.
