Quote by William Shakespeare

“He oído contar que el gallo, trompeta de la mañana, despierta al dios del día con alta y aguda voz de su garganta sonora y que a esta señal los espíritus que vagan errantes, ya se encuentren en el agua o en el fuego, en la tierra o en el aire, huyen presurosos a su región.”

“Not too long ago thousands spent their lives as recluses to find spiritual vision in the solitude of nature. Modern man need not become a hermit to achieve this goal, for it is neither ecstasy nor world-estranged mysticism his era demands, but a balance between quantitative and qualitative reality. Modern man, with his reduced capacity for intuitive perception, is unlikely to benefit from the contemplative life of a hermit in the wilderness. But what he can do is to give undivided attention, at times, to a natural phenomenon, observing it in detail, and recalling all the scientific facts about it he may remember. Gradually, however, he must silence his thoughts and, for moments at least, forget all his personal cares and desires, until nothing remains in his soul but awe for the miracle before him. Such efforts are like journeys beyond the boundaries of narrow self-love and, although the process of intuitive awakening is laborious and slow, its rewards are noticeable from the very first. If pursued through the course of years, something will begin to stir in the human soul, a sense of kinship with the forces of life consciousness which rule the world of plants and animals, and with the powers which determine the laws of matter. While analytical intellect may well be called the most precious fruit of the Modern Age, it must not be allowed to rule supreme in matters of cognition. If science is to bring happiness and real progress to the world, it needs the warmth of man's heart just as much as the cold inquisitiveness of his brain.”

“Como con la Bolsa, la de los mercados. Si la economía funciona, entonces lo llamamos inversión, si la economía va a peor, se llama especulación. Pero la recompensa está ahí, para quien haya sabido verla. Para eso está el dinero, si no ya habrían cerrado las Bolsas, ese lugar metafórico –no ficticio– en el que se compra y se vende sin tener que esperar a que se construya el edificio. El precio del dinero, los intereses, las subidas, las caídas, los suicidios. Es como el juego, una clase de ludopatía, sólo que legal y muy bien vista, que te vuelve inteligente y sofisticado. Azar, sí, pero al final siempre gana la Banca.”
