• Commenting on the decisions of the Bowl Alliance regarding WAC teams: It's a step, no question. Obviously, it's not what any of us wanted, but it's at least a step. We can now say we're part of the Alliance. However, I hope it's not perceived that they bought us off and we're going to go away. It's not fair. It's not right; we still need to fight. We can't let them go away and hide. Other schools are taking a major share of the pot, and that's still a major sore point as far as I'm concerned. But at least this is a step, and better than what we had in the past.

• For all that we have done, as a civilization, as individuals, the universe is not stable, and nor is any single thing within it. Stars consume themselves, the universe itself rushes apart, and we ourselves are composed of matter in constant flux. Colonies of cells in temporary alliance, replicating and decaying and housed within, an incandescent cloud of electrical impulse and precariously stacked carbon code memory. This is reality, this is self knowledge, and the perception of it will, of course, make you dizzy.

• In 2003, at the time I made my "Old Europe" comment, the center of gravity in NATO and Europe had long since shifted to the East. With the former Warsaw Pact countries joining NATO, the alliance has a different mix today. Some people were sensitive about my comment because they thought it was a pejorative way of highlighting demographic realities. Apparently they felt it pointed a white light at a weakness in Europe - an aging population. Europe has come some distance since World War II in becoming Europe.

• En la situación económica actual, la tentación de las economías más dinámicas es la de perseguir alianzas ventajosas que, sin embargo, pueden tener efectos nefastos para los Estados más pobres, prolongando situaciones de extrema pobreza masiva de hombres y mujeres y agotando los recursos naturales de la tierra, confiados al hombre por Dios Creador -como dice el Génesis- para que los cultive y proteja.

• [The greatest barriers to forming alliances] are not figuring out what would make others want to join with you. Assuming that what excites you excites others. Spend more time assuming people have good reasons for what they do or say and then figure out those good reasons.

• However, our fates at least are social. Our courses do not diverge; but as the web of destiny is woven it is fulled, and we are cast more and more into the centre. Men naturally, though feebly, seek this alliance, and their actions faintly foretell it.

• De hecho, nunca hemos recalibrado realmente nuestros compromisos en política exterior desde el final de la Guerra Fría. Seguimos teniendo alianzas en toda Asia y en toda Europa que se concibieron para domar a la Unión Soviética, que, la última vez que lo comprobé, dejó de existir hace más de 20 años. Hoy, por supuesto, tenemos el compromiso de ir a la guerra nuclear con Rusia en caso de que Rusia invada Letonia. Para mí, eso es un completo y absoluto disparate. Deberíamos reconsiderar nuestra postura en todas las regiones del mundo.

• Because it is a monopoly, government brings inefficiency and stagnation to most things it runs; government agencies pursue the inflation of their budgets rather than the service of their customers; pressure groups form an unholy alliance with agencies to extract more money from taxpayers for their members. Yet despite all this, most clever people still call for government to run more things and assume that if it did so, it would somehow be more perfect, more selfless, next time.

• Tal vez porque los orígenes de cierto tipo de amor residen en el impulso de escapar de nosotros mismos y de nuestras debilidades mediante una alianza con lo bello y lo noble. Pero si los seres queridos nos devuelven el amor, nos vemos obligados a volver a nosotros mismos, y por tanto se nos recuerdan las cosas que nos habían impulsado a amar en primer lugar. Tal vez no era amor lo que queríamos después de todo, tal vez era simplemente alguien en quien creer, pero ¿cómo podemos seguir creyendo en el ser amado ahora que él cree en nosotros?
