“Marshall Rosenberg constantemente fala em suas palestras que em algum ponto da humanidade, nós decidimos que humanos são mal por natureza, e precisam ser punidos; lembremos que a visão do cristianismo nos coloca como pegadores, mesmo quando nascemos, e nossa única solução é nos curvar diante de Deus, aceitar Jesus. Apesar de que ele nunca mencionou religião abertamente, e eu também não o faria devido ao momento onde a teoria foi criada, eu sempre tive a impressão que ele falava do cristianismo, ele nasceu e cresceu nos Estados Unidos, em um dos momentos mais violentos do país, e também um dos momentos de maior religiosidade cristã do país. Ele usa constantemente referências a pensadores da índia, geralmente, próximos do budismo, que sempre falaram da não violência como a solução. Eu tenho dificuldades de aceitar que uma religião como o cristianismo, que cresceu da violência, possa se livrar dela. A forma como o cristianismo funciona gira todo em cima de violência, apesar de que os cristãos não conseguem ver e aceitar.”

“Marshes that are stagnant and have no outlets either by rivers or ditches, like the Pomptine marshes, merely putrefy as they stand, emitting heavy, unhealthy vapors. A case of a town built in such a spot was Old Salpia in Apulia ... Year after year there was sickness, until finally the suffering inhabitants came with a public petition to Marcus Hostilius and got him to agree to seek and find them a proper place to which to remove their city.”

“MARSILIO
Data cannot grasp the depth of such images, which do not pass away or cease bleeding into things.”
“MARSYAS: Beware!
Easily trips the big word "dare."
Each man's an Œdipus, that thinks
He hath the four powers of the Sphinx,
Will, Courage, Knowledge, Silence. Son,
Even the adepts scarce win to one!
The Thoughts—they fall like rotten fruits.
But to destroy the power that makes
These thoughts—thy Self? A man it takes
To tear his soul up by the roots!
This is the mandrake fable, boy!”
Source: Aha!
“MARSYAS:
There are seven keys to the great gate,
Being eight in one and one in eight.
First, let the body of thee be still,
Bound by the cerements of will,
Corpse-rigid; thus thou mayst abort
The fidget-babes that tease the thought.
Next, let the breath-rhythm be low,
Easy, regular, and slow;
So that thy being be in tune
With the great sea's Pacific swoon.
Third, let thy life be pure and calm
Swayed softly as a well-to-live be bound
To the one love of the Profound.
Fifth, let the thought, divinely free
From sense, observe its entity.
Watch every thought that springs; enhance
Hour after hour thy vigilance!
Intense and keen, turned inward, miss
No atom of analysis!
Sixth, on one thought securely pinned
Still every whisper of the wind!
So like a flame straight and unstirred
Burn up thy being in one word!
Next, still that ecstasy, prolong
Thy meditation steep and strong,
Slaying even God, should He distract
Thy attention from the chosen act!
Last, all these things in one o'erpowered,
Time that the midnight blossom flowered!
The oneness is. Yet even in this,
My son, though shalt not do amiss
If thou restrain the expression, shoot
Thy glance to rapture's darkling root,
Discarding name, form, sight, and stress
Even of this high consciousness;
Pierce to the heart! I leave thee here:
Thou art the Master. I revere
Thy radiance that rolls afar,
O Brother of the Silver Star!”
Source: Aha!
“Marta upptäckte plötsligt, att en kvinna aldrig behöver skämmas, bara hon är vacker. Hon behöver inte direkt kunna någonting, inte uppföra sig synnerligen väl, inte vara särskilt intelligent eller ha en fin uppfostran — ty över allt detta står skönheten. Hon skall likväl finna massor av beundrare, just därför att skönheten står över allting." (Sid. 135)”

“Martell Cognac approached me to make a film for them that represented the spirit of John Martell and what he stood for as a person and as a visionary - the qualities that they felt were linked to the brand because of John Martell himself. The creation of the cognac had an impact on the world. That's what Martell Cognac would like to promote: people that can inspire other kids and generations. They have a saying: "It's not what you achieve, it's how you achieve it."”
“Martellus: Talking behind my back, are you?
Krosp: Of course not! You're right here!”

“Martha Ironside was nine years old when she kicked her great-aunt Josephine. At nineteen she loved the old lady, idly perhaps, in her natural humour, as she loved the sky and space. At twenty-four, when Miss Josephine Leggatt died, aged seventy-nine and reluctant, Martha knew that it she who had taught her wisdom; thereby proving - she reflected - that man does not learn from books alone; because Martha had kicked Aunt Josephine (at the age of nine) for taking her from her books.”

“Martha," she said. "Just let it go." "I'm trying," I said. I want to explain to her that this was like telling someone who has been mauled to death by a bear to let the animal go while it was still worrying what was left of her leg. I didn't have my situation; it had me. There was nothing I wanted more than to let go of it, but I didn't know how. I eventually figured it out, but the method that works for me proved to be exactly the opposite of what Debra intended. She meant that I should never tell the story, but telling the story is the only way to let go of trauma. Letting it go is precisely what I am doing now, in the hopes that it will help others in similar situations find the courage to tell their stories, but I sincerely doubt that Debra will approve.”
