“Whether the pressure is from an inward or an outward expectation, there's always this nagging feeling that we should be able to restore any form of disfigurement, that embalmers should possess some Harry Potter magic in our prep room and magically wave our trocar (a large needle-like instrument we use during embalming) while chanting Abracadabra, pulchra cadaver and then "poof we have beautiful corpses. But there is no magic trocar.”

“Religion, like art, is an attempt to deal with the non-rational. That's not irrational. Non-rational. Those powerful forces that inform all of our lives. Love, beauty, the search for meaning, our mortality, grief, alienation, these cannot be empirically measured. It's why Freud said he could never finally write about love. He could write about sex, but he couldn't write about love and religious systems are human creations. God is a human concept. All religious systems are flawed. All of them are finite attempts to deal with the infinite. To deal with those transcendent forces and the need the human beings have for the sacred. And I think art and early religious life, art and religion were not divorced. I think art itself is a religious ritual, certainly an important ritual, and what art and religion are trying to do is acknowledge, preserve, and to a certain extent, explain these forces that make up a complete human being. And I think that is probably one of the great failings of the new atheists and that they don't distinguish between the non-rational and the irrational.”

“The twenty-two cards of the major arcana are at the heart of the deck. Each of these cards symbolizes some universal aspect of human experience. They represent archetypes-consistent, directing patterns of influence that are an inherent part of human nature.”

“I get it. Who wants to contribute more to the buildup of the world's "trash mountains" than necessary?... The undeniable fact is that every object in your home already exists. The resources have already been pulled out of the earth and manufactured into something. If you can't recycle it, presumably it's never going to become usable raw materials again... It is already taking up space... namely inside your home. If you send it to the landfill, it will be taking up an equal amount of space in a location...designated for disposal and...to protect the public well-being. Let your regret about how much you have to throw away reinforce your determination not to buy so much in the future.”

“Producir, producto, una identidad producto-producir... Precisamente es esta identidad la que forma un tercer término en la serie lineal: un enorme objeto no diferenciado. Todo se detiene un momento, todo se paraliza (luego todo volverá a empezar). En cierta manera, sería mejor que nada marcharse, que nada funcionase. No haber nacido, salir de la rueda de los nacimientos; ni boca para mamar, ni ano para cagar. ¿Estarán las máquinas suficientemente estropeadas, sus piezas suficientemente sueltas como para entregarse y entregarnos a la nada? Se diría que los flujos de energía todavía están demasiado ligados, que los objetos todavía son demasiado orgánicos. Un puro fluido en estado libre y sin cortes, resbalando sobre un cuerpo lleno. Las máquinas deseantes nos forman un organismo; pero en el seno de esta producción, en su producción misma, el cuerpo sufre por ser organizado de este modo, por no tener otra organización, o por no tener ninguna organización. ‘Una parada incomprensible y por completo recta’ en medio del proceso, como tercer tiempo: ‘Ni boca. Ni lengua. Ni dientes. Ni laringe. Ni esófago. Ni vientre. Ni ano’.”

“Los padres abandonan a los hijos. Los hijos abandonan a los padres. Los padres protegen o desprotegen pero siempre desprotegen. Los hijos se quedan o se van pero siempre se van. Y todo es injusto, sobre todo el rumor de las frases, porque el lenguaje nos gusta y nos confunde, porque en el fondo quisiéramos contar, o por lo menos silbar una melodía, caminar por un lado del escenario silbando una melodía. Queremos ser actores que esperan con paciencia el momento de salir al escenario. Y el público hace rato que se fue.”
