“They might be drugs that alter the states of consciousness, or they might be states of transcendence reached in meditation. They might be moments of orgasm, or fugue states, or day-dreams that take you momentarily to a rewarding fantasy and escape from responsibility. All of these are treasures of the spirit or psyche that allow exploration along paths which are undefined and completely individual.”
― Alexander Shulgin, Pihkal: A Chemical Love Story

“O my brothers, I dedicate and direct you to a new nobility: you shall become procreators and cultivators and sowers of the future — verily, not to a nobility that you might buy like shopkeepers and with shopkeepers' gold: for whatever has its price has little value. Not whence you came shall henceforth constitute your honor, but whither you are going! Your will and your foot which has a will to go over and beyond yourselves — that shall constitute your new honor.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche

“Lo rememoro siempre que contemplo los payasos que pintó Rouault: esos pobres bufones que, al terminar su parte, en la soledad del carromato se quitan las lentejuelas y regresan a la opacidad de lo cotidiano, donde los ancianos sabemos que la vida es imperfecta, que las historias infantiles con Buenos y Malvados, Justicia e Injusticia, Verdad y Mentira, son finalmente nada más que eso: inocentes sueños. La dura realidad es una desoladora confusión de herniosos ideales y torpes realizaciones, pero siempre habrá algunos empecinados, héroes, santos y artistas, que en sus vidas y en sus obras alcanzan pedazos del Absoluto, que nos ayudan a soportar las repugnantes relatividades.”
― Ernesto Sabato, Antes del fin

“The worst thing that can happen to a socialist is to have his country ruled by socialists who are not his friends.”
