Gustavo Cerati
"Dejar fluir las emociones profundas a cualquier costo. Decidir que las cosas son blancas o negras, como la gráfica del disco. Sin grises. Recuperar cierta inconciencia, controlar menos. Estaba demasiado preocupado por qué pensaban de mí, disperso. Decidí cortar con eso."
"No hay nada peor que no sentir."
"No tengo edad. No siento la edad. Obviamente que hay cosas, pero no siento la edad en ese aspecto. No siento que tenga edad, algo que decís: “Ahora me llegó el momento”
"Yo creo que es más interesante alguien que es totalmente frívolo, que no puede llegar al menor nivel de profundidad, que alguien que lo único que produce es ilusión de profundidad. Eso me parece más honesto."
"Las bandas que me parecen insoportables son las que no hacen más que hablar literalmente de lo que les pasa alrededor como si fueran un noticiero"
"Nuestro futuro depende de cómo entendamos el pasado."
"Sé que dices la verdad,la conozco, te conozco y no te creo"
"No hay nada peor que no sentir."

Alain de Botton
"What is declared obvious and ‘natural’ rarely is so. Recognition of this should teach us to think that the world is more flexible than it seems, for the established views have frequently emerged not through a process of faultless reasoning, but through centuries of intellectual muddle. There may be no good reason for things to be the way they are."
The Consolations of Philosophy pg. 23.
"What should worry us is not the number of people who oppose us, but how good their reasons are for doing so."
The Consolations of Philosophy pg. 29.
"True respectability stems not from the will of the majority but from proper reasoning."
The Consolations of Philosophy pg. 33.
"What makes us angry are dangerously optimistic notions about what the world and other people are like."
The Consolations of Philosophy pg. 83.
"We will cease to be so angry once we cease to be so hopeful."
The Consolations of Philosophy pg. 85.
"It is tempting, when we are hurt, to believe that the thing which hurt us intended to do so."
The Consolations of Philosophy pg. 100.
"Wisdom lies in correctly discerning where we are free to mould reality according to our wishes and where we must accept the unalterable with tranquillity."
The Consolations of Philosophy pg. 107.
"Every man may bear the whole form of the human condition, but it seems that no single country can tolerate the complexity of this condition."
The Consolations of Philosophy pg. 145-146.
"The problem with clichés is not that they contain false ideas, but rather that they are superficial articulations of very good ones."
How Proust Can Change Your Life pg. 88
"We became modern when we gave up on awaiting sporadic gifts from above and sought to render any pleasing sensation immediately and repeatedly available."
The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work
"To waste the labour of men is not to kill them.” Is it not? I should like to know how you could kill them more utterly’.
The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work
"Without envy, there could be no recognition of one’s desires."
