“-¿Qué pasa? - pregunta Belaúnde.
-Que el ser humano es un estúpido. Si las cosas no salen como uno espera, se pone mal porque las cosas no salen. Y si las cosas sí salen como uno espera, también se pone mal porque le agarra miedo de que en cualquier momento se tuerzan y dejen de salir.
Belaúnde saca un cigarrillo y, sin encenderlo, se lo coloca entre los labios.
-El ser humano no, Perlassi. Algunos seres humanos.
-Tenés razón -Perlassi lo asume como un regaño.
-No, no. Guarda que yo soy igual - aclara Belaúnde-. En todo caso seremos dos estúpidos.”

“It is the position of the American Dietetic Association that appropriately planned vegetarian diets, including total vegetarian or vegan diets, are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. Well-planned vegetarian diets are appropriate for individuals during all stages of the life cycle, including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, and adolescence, and for athletes.[2]”

“Whenever we have a problem, it is easy to think that it is caused by our particular circumstances, and that if we were to change our circumstances our problem would disappear. We blame other people, our friends, our food, our government, our times, the weather, society, history and so forth. However, external circumstances such as these are not the main causes of our problems. We need to recognize that all the physical suffering and mental pain we experience are the consequences of our taking a rebirth that is contaminated by the inner poison of delusions.”
