“Every kind of contempt for sex, every impurification of it by means of the concept "impure", is the crime par excellence against life--is the real sin against the holy spirit of life”

“Once one thinks like a mountain, the whole world is converted. All things confirm me. Then I sit on dojo cushions that do not move. There is no controller and no one to control.”

“Therefore, when we build, let us think that we build for ever. Let it not be for present delight, nor for present use alone; let it be such work as our descendants will thank us for, and let us think, as we lay stone on stone, that a time is to come when those stones will be held sacred because our hands have touched them, and that men will say as they look upon the labor and wrought substance of them, "See! this our fathers did for us." For, indeed, the greatest glory of a building is not in its stones, or in its gold. Its glory is in its Age.”

“La creencia celta de que las almas de aquellos a los que hemos perdido están cautivas en un ser inferior —en un animal, un vegetal, una cosa inanimada—, perdidas, en efecto, para nosotros hasta el día —que para muchos nunca llega— en que pasamos por casualidad cerca del árbol y nos adueñamos del objeto que es su prisión, me parece muy razonable. Entonces se estremecen, nos llaman y, en cuanto las hemos reconocido, se deshace el hechizo. Una vez que las hemos liberado, han vencido a la muerte y vuelven a vivir con nosotros. Lo mismo ocurre con nuestro pasado. Intentar evocarlo resulta empeño perdido, todos los intentos de nuestra inteligencia son inútiles. Está oculto, fuera de su dominio y de su alcance, en algún objeto material —en la sensación que éste nos daría— que no sospechamos. Del azar depende que encontremos o no ese objeto antes de morir.”
