“Des Lebens größtes Geheimnis ist die Kontinuität der Entwicklung. Hört Entwicklung auf, so ist das wie der Tod, und solange der Mensch sich entwickelt, kann Sterblichkeit ihn nicht berühren. Ob mit oder ohne Erfolg, wenn die Seele etwas zu erreichen wünscht, muss die Suche fortgesetzt werden, und durch Zielstrebigkeit wird eine Brücke von der Erde zum Himmel gebaut und vom Menschen zu Gott. (S. 36)”

“Des Livres, pas Des Bombes
(Le Sonnet)
Les bombes tuent les terroristes,
Les livres tuent le terrorisme.
Les missiles tuent les extrémistes,
La pleine conscience tue l'extrémisme.
Les balles tuent les fanatiques,
La bonté tue l'intolérance.
La loi enchaîne les gens violents,
L’amour réforme la violence.
Le Sarin ne paralyse que les méchants,
Le service guérit la méchanceté.
C4 ne fait que retarder les préjugés,
La curiosité guérit les préjugés.
La violence ne peut plus être une révolution.
La gentillesse est le remède à toute dégradation.”

“Des mots tordus, des mots décousus, des mots sans queue ni tête, j’écrirais comme les mots me viendraient, je commencerais maladroitement et je finirais maladroitement comme j’avais commencé, je m’en foutrais de la raison pure, de la méthode, de la phonétique, de la prose (...), ça serait alors l’écriture ou la vie.
[Verre Cassé, p. 198]”
“Des résultats qui apparaissent pour la première fois dans des rapports ou des livres, même à gros tirage, n'ont aucune fiabilité. Tout simplement parce que ces publications n'ont pas passé le filtre du contrôle par les pairs. Les éditeurs n'ont évidemment pas la capacité d'expertise du monde académique et leur premier souci est plus de s'assurer du potentiel de vente d'un livre que de la parfaite légitimité scientifique des arguments que l'on y trouve. Par ailleurs, un livre qui se glorifie de présenter des résultats s'opposant au consensus, ou à la pensée unique ou à l'idéologie dominante, a toutes les chances d'être une imposture scientifique.”

“Desafortunadamente el inconveniente principal, ajeno a los casos mismos, es que parece que espiritualmente estoy imposibilitado para contraer matrimonio.
Esto se puede comprobar en el hecho de que desde el instante en que tomo esa determinación, no puedo dormir, siento que la cabeza me hierve día y noche, una gran desesperación e irascibilidad se apoderan de mi, y al caminar me tambaleó de un lado a otro (p. 66)”

“Desai talked that morning about the preciousness of a human life. “In the world of yoga,” he said, “you must remember there are hell realms and heavenly realms and animal realms and other realms where souls abide.” But the human realms, he said, are most precious. Here in the human realms we suffer, but we also have the tools to wake up. And unlike the heavenly realm of the devas and brahmas, celestial beings, we have the desire to wake up. The human realms have just the right mixture of pleasure and pain to prod us toward the path of liberation.”

“Desalojar el escenario de mis crímenes, ahora convertido en polvorín de una guerra civil. El golpe de Estado, milagrosamente, aniquila el olor de la carne podrida.
Entre esos cuerpos veo al oso polar, el héroe de mi infancia, disecado, inmaculadamente blanco, arrojado a este enjambre de carne y peligrosa fauna.
- Vamos de aquí, Julio ¿o acaso te queda algo por mostrame?
- No, Amanda. Ya nada de esto me pertenece...”

I like that. I could live with magnificent. Good choice of words, lifemate.”

“Descartes constructed as noble a road of science, from the point at which he found geometry to that to which he carried it, as Newton himself did after him. ... He carried this spirit of geometry and invention into optics, which under him became a completely new art.”

“Descartes is rightly regarded as the father of modern philosophy primarily and generally because he helped the faculty of reason to stand on its own feet by teaching men to use their brains
in place whereof the Bible, on the one hand, and Aristotle, on the other, had previously served.”

“Descartes, of course, the French philosopher said: "I think therefore I am".
If he had waited a little bit longer before saying anything, he could have come to the point of cessation of thinking and then he could have made the more profound statement: "I am conscious therefore I am".
Thinking is only an expression of consciousness: a surface expression of consciousness.”
“Descartes, reasoning unconsciously according to the prejudices of the old metaphysics, and seeking an unshakable foundation for philosophy, an aliquid inconcussum, as it was said, imagined that he had found it in the self, and posited this principle: I think, therefore I am; Cogito, ergo sum. Descartes did not realize that his base, supposedly immobile, was mobility itself. Cogito, I think—these words express movement; and the conclusion, according to the original sense of the verb to be, sum, ειναι, ou חיח, (haïah), is still movement. He should have said: Moveor, ergo fio, I move, therefore I become!”

“Descartes recommended that we distrust the senses and rely on the ... use of our intellect.”
“Descartes said, "I think, therefore I am." I say, "I do not think, that is why I exist."”
“Descartes says: I think, and I am every moment I am thinking, because I have this inner awareness of myself. And I always thought there was something fishy about that. I don't think there's any privileged self-knowledge. Most of our attention is to things outside us.”
“Descartes spent far too much time in bed subject to the persistent hallucination that he was thinking. You are not free from a similar disorder.”
“Descartes' immortal conclusion cogito ergo sum was recently subjected to destruction testing by a group of graduate researchers at Princeton led by Professors Montjuic and Lauterbrunnen, and now reads, in the Shorter Harvard Orthodoxy:
(a) I think, therefore I am; or
(b) Perhaps I thought, therefore I was; but
(c) These days, I tend to leave that side of things to my wife.”

“Descartes's epistemology is a special case of Aristotle's virtue ethics.”
“Descartes, the father of modern philosophy ... would never-so he assures us-have been led to construct his philosophy if he had had only one teacher, for then he would have believed what he had been told; but, finding that his professors disagreed with each other, he was forced to conclude that no existing doctrine was certain.”

“Descendiendo el puerto de Herrera, un balcón natural se abrió ante ellos, deleitándoles con unas espectaculares vistas de las tierras que cientos de metros más abajo henchían el paisaje de miles de hectáreas de vides repletas de uva. Contempló extasiada el horizonte, disfrutando de aquella visión abrumadora y de los colores aún verdosos de los viñedos, que salpicaban el entorno y parecían regocijarse con el baño de luz crepuscular de aquella tarde de septiembre. Él le había advertido, pero aún así aquella escena superó todas sus expectativas. Lo que la sierra de Cantabria tenía ante sus pies era un precioso cuadro viviente que rebosaba vida y belleza.”

“Descendientes de África
(Soneto de la Historia Negra)
Si una familia negra vive
lo suficiente en un clima frío,
en aproximadamente 100 generaciones,
sus descendientes nacerán blancos.
Así nacieron los blancos,
Porque todos venimos de una madre negra.
No importa dónde vivamos en la tierra,
Somos todos africanos - nuestra patria, África.
Si no comprendes este hecho antropológico,
No eres más que un traidor a la tierra.
La historia negra es historia mundial,
Somos todos descendientes de África.”

“Descending south into St. Augustine’s Historic District along A1A, visitors are immediately confronted by an edifice which serves as a stark reminder that the city was originally founded as a military outpost, deep in hostile territory. Jutting up like a molar from the defensive teeth of the Ancient City is the forbidding fortress of Castillo de San Marcos, a coquina fortification which has served many roles it its nearly three hundred fifty year history.”

“Desceu o olhar e perdeu-o na dança das chamas da lareira, um cansaço de alma que minou as forças. A consciência não era fardo que o derrotasse, há muito que não, mas assumia formas incómodas que a tornavam difícil de carregar. Carregar pessoas mortas era fácil. Eram vazias. Não se mexiam nem dificultavam os movimentos. Carregar pessoas vivas é que se tornava difícil. Estavam cheias de vida. Debatiam-se com milhões de intenções e desequilibravam o passo. Tinha nos ombros o peso de todas as pessoas que ainda respiravam no mundo.”

“Descobri nessa altura que os romances se escreviam principalmente com obsessões e não com convicções, que o contributo do irracional era, pelo menos, tão importante como o racional na feitura duma ficção.”

“Descobri que a minha obsessão de que cada coisa estivesse no seu lugar, cada assunto no seu tempo, cada palavra no seu estilo, não era o prémio merecido de uma mente ordenada mas, pelo contrário, um sistema completo de simulação inventado por mim para ocultar a desordem da minha natureza. Descobri que não sou disciplinado por virtude, mas como reacção contra a minha negligência; que pareço generoso para encobrir a minha mesquinhez, que passo por prudente por ser pessimista, que sou conciliador para não sucumbir às minhas cóleras reprimidas, que só sou pontual para que não se saiba que pouco me importa o tempo alheio. Descobri, por fim, que o amor não é um estado de alma mas um signo do Zodíaco.”
