M. Scott Peck
“We know the world only through our relationship to it. Therefore, to know the world, we must not only examine it but we must simultaneously examine the examiner. Psychiatrists are taught this in their training and know that it is impossible to realistically understand the conflicts and transferences of their patients without understanding their own transferences and conflicts.”
M. Scott Peck, The Road Less Traveled: A New Psychology of Love, Traditional Values and Spiritual Growth

Primo Levi
“del hurto y del asalto a los cargos y con el monopolio de la Bolsa de los trueques, no debe hacer olvidar que su repugnancia por la brutalidad gratuita, su asombrosa conciencia de la subsistencia de una, cuando menos potencial, dignidad humana, hacían de los griegos del Lager el núcleo nacional más coherente y, bajo este punto de vista, el más civil.”
Primo Levi, Trilogía de Auschwitz

Susan  Rowland
“The Alchemy Scroll works on the heart,” he said. “It plants words as I plant stones. The Scroll-maker is my brother. He paints the mysteries of God while I, guided by the Mother, built the new Hall as a door to heaven,” he said.”
Susan Rowland, The Alchemy Fire Murder

Rhonda Byrne
“If you do just a little research, it is going to become evident to you that anyone that ever accomplished anything, did not know how they were going to do it. They only knew they were going to do it.”
Rhonda Byrne, The Secret

Jon Krakauer
“Unlike Muir and Thoreau, McCandless went into the wilderness not primarily to ponder nature or the world at large but, rather, to explore the inner country of his own soul.”
Jon Krakauer, Into the Wild
