“Scientology is the science of knowing how to know answers. It is a wisdom in the tradition of ten thousand years of search in Asia and Western civilization. It is the Science of Human Affairs which treats the livingness and beingness of Man and demonstrates to him a pathway to greater freedom.”

“Scientology's a slow process in the beginning. It teaches basic principles of life - do unto others as you'd have done to you and be responsible. Then there are little courses that cost a little bit of money and you start to learn the concepts of Scientology, kind of like, "Scientology's a new religion and so it's being attacked, here's all the good works that we're doing." And you're like, "Why do people attack Scientology?" It slowly starts to get in your mind and your subconscious that it's Scientology against the world, and any enemy of Scientology is an enemy to mankind.”

“Scienza, come un generale, significa identificare i nemici: erudizione trasmessa e ipotesi non dimostrate; superstizione e ciarlataneria; la paura dei tiranni del cittadino istruito; e, più pericoloso di tutti, la passione dell'uomo a prendersi in giro. Diceva bene Bacone, l'inglese: "La comprensione umana è come un falso specchio, che ricevendo raggi irregolarmente, distorce e scolora la natura delle cose mescolando la sua propria natura con essa”

“Scilurus on his death-bed, being about to leave four-score sons surviving, offered a bundle of darts to each of them, and bade them break them. When all refused, drawing out one by one, he easily broke them, thus teaching them that if they held together, they would continue strong; but if they fell out and were divided, they would become weak.”

“Sciolse l'abbraccio e fece scorrere le dita tra i miei capelli. All'inizio non sembrava avere un intento, poi dalla testa arrivò fino alla base della nuca, e da li scese lungo il collo, le spalle, la vita. Premeva i pollici su ogni curva, deciso a farmi sentire cosa era vero, anche se invisibile. Arrivato ai fianchi si fermò, perché continuare sarebbe stato un azzardo, ma non erano carezze qualsiasi. Mi stava disegnando. Lui era la matita, e io l'immagine.”

“Scivive will call these the great traps. Some of these could be described as circumstance, lack of opportunity, lack of time, complacency, “it’s good enough”, lack of creativity, lack of follow-through, too individualistic, no teamwork, not individualistic enough, or no unique ideas. We can also be held back by greatness that is too small in scale or learning things that become valueless.”

“Scoala doar completeaza ceea ce-i invata parintii. In zilele noastre, cand parintii trebuie sa faca foarte multe lucruri intr-un timp foarte scurt, e mai usor sa nu te implici si sa speri ca scoala o sa-i invete pe copiii tai toate lucrurile pe care trebuia sa-i inveti tu, daca nu erai atat de ocupat incercand sa faci toate lucrurile care iti solicitau atentia. Asta e o abordare gresita. Sa fii lider ca parinte inseamna sa faci toate actele lucruri despre care constiinta ta iti spune ca trebuie facute, chiar daca s-ar putea sa nu fie deloc usor.”

“Scolding must be very, very fun, otherwise children would be allowed to do it. It is not because children don’t have what it takes to scold. You need only three things, really. You need time, to think up scolding things to say. You need effort, to put these scolding things in a good order, so that the scolding can be more and more insulting to the person being scolded. And you need chutzpah, which is a word for the sort of show-offy courage it takes to stand in front of someone and give them a good scolding, particularly if they are exhausted and sore and not in the mood to hear it.”
