Citas célebres, proverbios, refranes populares, etc., que, por algún motivo, me han llamado la atención.

«[…] it is dangerous to ignore the irrational. The more cultivated a person is, the more intelligent, the more repressed, then the more he needs some method of channeling the primitive impulses he’s worked so hard to subdue. Otherwise those powerful old forces will mass and strengthen until they are violent enough to break free, more violent for the delay, often strong enough to sweep away the will entirely.
«It’s a very Greek idea, and a very profound one. Beauty is Terror. Whatever we call beautiful, we quiver before it. And what could be more terrifying and beautiful, than to lose control completely? To throw off the chains of being for an instant, to shatter the accident of our mortal selves?»
Julian Morrow

«Un mal escritor es alguien cuya vida resulta más interesante que su obra».
John Irving

«This we know: the earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth. All things are connected like the blood that unites us all. Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself».
Chief Seattle, 1852
