• The fire of my tribulations had not simply been pain to be endured. It had been an agent of transformation. After all that I'd been through, I'd changed.

I always start feeling good, and then I get to about Page 75 and start losing momentum - and I kind of pull it together at the end, but by then I think it's just all over.

• Euphemisms are not, as many young people think, useless verbiage for that which can and should be said bluntly; they are like secret agents on a delicate mission, they must airily pass by a stinking mess with barely so much as a nod of the head, make their point of constructive criticism and continue on in calm forbearance. Euphemisms are unpleasant truths wearing diplomatic cologne.

  Quentin Crisp

• Parliament is not a congress of ambassadors from different and hostile interests; which interests each must maintain, as an agent and advocate, against other agents and advocates; but parliament is a deliberative assembly of one nation, with one interest, that of the whole; where, not local purposes, not local prejudices ought to guide, but the general good, resulting from the general reason of the whole. You choose a member indeed; but when you have chosen him, he is not a member of Bristol, but he is a member of parliament.

• Socrates La vida irreflexiva no merece la pena ser vivida. Quería decir que una vida vivida sin previsión ni principios es una vida tan vulnerable al azar y tan dependiente de las decisiones y acciones de los demás que tiene poco valor real para la persona que la vive. Además, quería decir que una vida bien vivida es aquella que tiene objetivos e integridad, que es elegida y dirigida por quien la vive, en la mayor medida posible para un agente humano atrapado en las redes de la sociedad y la historia.
