Quote by Sol Luckman

“So many things are put out to make it seem as if we’re helpless victims of this crazy Matrix. This is the purpose of such lopsided half-truths as the popular (and for that reason alone, highly dubious) notion that we’re stuck against our will in a ‘soul trap’ or ‘reincarnation trap’ that most people will never escape.”

“El alma del hombre debe estar en constante transformación, porque solo en el cambio reside el crecimiento. Sin embargo, estos cambios pueden oscilar entre lo positivo y lo negativo, lo constructivo y lo destructivo. Por ello, es necesario, cada cierto tiempo, abrir el cofre de nuestra esencia, examinar con honestidad qué merece quedarse y qué debe ser purgado. Pero este acto de revisión no debe hacerse a ciegas; es vital cuestionarnos: ¿es este cambio una verdadera redención, un paso hacia la autenticidad, o simplemente otra máscara en el interminable teatro de la vida? Solo en la honestidad de esa respuesta reside la verdad del alma”

“Three a.m. is prime time for the soul. Programming should start any minute, and it's hard to tell what'll be on this time, so is it any wonder you're breaking into a sweat? Sometimes they broadcast anxiety, on weekends it's depression, and then there's the big hit--that feeling that makes your whole body tremble and your throat close up. It's not happiness. If it were happiness, you would know. You've read enough about happiness to know that it shouldn't be anywhere near this painful.”

“The portraits, of more historical than artistic interest, had gone; and tapestry, full of the blue and bronze of peacocks, fell over the doors, and shut out all history and activity untouched with beauty and peace; and now when I looked at my Crevelli and pondered on the rose in the hand of the Virgin, wherein the form was so delicate and precise that it seemed more like a thought than a flower, or at the grey dawn and rapturous faces of my Francesca, I knew all a Christian's ecstasy without his slavery to rule and custom; when I pondered over the antique bronze gods and goddesses, which I had mortgaged my house to buy, I had all a pagan's delight in various beauty and without his terror at sleepless destiny and his labour with many sacrifices; and I had only to go to my bookshelf, where every book was bound in leather, stamped with intricate ornament, and of a carefully chosen colour: Shakespeare in the orange of the glory of the world, Dante in the dull red of his anger, Milton in the blue grey of his formal calm; and I could experience what I would of human passions without their bitterness and without satiety. I had gathered about me all gods because I believed in none, and experienced every pleasure because I gave myself to none, but held myself apart, individual, indissoluble, a mirror of polished steel: I looked in the triumph of this imagination at the birds of Hera, glowing in the firelight as though they were wrought of jewels; and to my mind, for which symbolism was a necessity, they seemed the doorkeepers of my world, shutting out all that was not of as affluent a beauty as their own; and for a moment I thought as I had thought in so many other moments, that it was possible to rob life of every bitterness except the bitterness of death; and then a thought which had followed this thought, time after time, filled me with a passionate sorrow.”
